On Waffles
Have I ever mentioned my deep and abiding love of waffles? Maybe I have, but here I go again: I really really really love waffles. Fluffy, crunchy waffles dripping with real maple syrup. Belgian waffles with a scoop of vanilla … Continue reading
It’s crunch time for Mercado!
I wrote a couple of weeks ago about a new project coming to Buffalo, Mercado Revolution, which is to be a marketplace and dining establishment featuring all things local and artisanal in Buffalo, as well as also featuring young and … Continue reading
The revolution will be incentivized.
(I’ve changed the wording below a little since my first posting.) I actually donated to a Kickstarter project recently: Mercado Revolution, a new venture in Buffalo that will…well, here’s how Mercado’s visionaries describe it: Mercado will kickstart the Buffalo/Niagara region … Continue reading

Further evidence that I need to get out more
Deep dish pizza is on the menu tonight, folks! #pizza #DeepDish #ChicagoStyle, originally uploaded by Jaquandor. I made Chicago deep dish pizza last night. Making this meme-photo is how I occupied my time as it baked. Not reading, not writing…this. … Continue reading
Maybe we HAVE progressed a little….
Old commercials in which women make coffee for less-than-appreciative husbands. Ye Gods. (via)
Strange brew! (And cold.)
So I’ve been intrigued for a while about the idea of cold-brewing coffee. This is a method whereby one extracts the flavors and oils from coffee not with hot water, but with cold. (Duh!) Basically, you mix ground coffee and … Continue reading
