Well not really hidden, more like forgotten. Maybe it’s because I don’t eat them as often as say, french fries. But every time I eat them I invariably, at least once, get the dreaded molten hot onion that slides out of the protective sheath of the breading and scalds the crap out of my lip. […]

Cherry Picking with a Bonus
Well we made it two times for cherries this season. 15 lbs the first time and 30 lbs the second. As an added bonus the orchard had a selection of some beautiful apricots. We had a great time picking the cherries. We found some whoppers. It only took us 45 minutes to pick 30 lbs. […]

Maybe you’ve seen this before, but I think it just great. Especially when you realize that it was actually broadcast on the BBC and they had hundreds of people calling in who believed it. Unfortunately they forgot to look at their calendars. The broadcast date was April 1st. .

Sonic Opens a New Store In Grand Rapids MI
They finally opened a Sonic Drive-In in Grand Rapids MI. They have been advertising on the cable stations for ages but they didn’t have one close enough to go to.

Passing On of the Recipes

Was it a worn and weary bound tome of the Bennett and Buzas families passed down through the generations? Was it a homemade box stuffed full of hand written on slightly stained index cards? No, it was […]

For the Neophyte Chef or the Truly OCD Person in All of Us
Here is a great tool if you just have to get the recipe exactly the way it is supposed to be, or as a great gift for a neophyte chef. When the recipe calls for a Dash, Pinch or Smidgen you’ll be ready. I think I found these at Restoration Hardware years ago. I just […]
