This is what you eat when you feel like being fancy but not. Fancy. Because it’s not fancy. It’s faux fancy. It’s fauncy. The thing is, I could alwaysalwaysalwaysalways eat Mexican food. But guess what, this isn’t really that Mexicany! Besides the use of cilantro and tortillas, it’s not really Mexican at all. It’s faux […]

From a distance that looks like shredded parmesan, doesn’t it? “From a distance, the world looks blue and green, and the snow-capped mountains white.” I always hated that song. Bette sure is a fan of singing about eagles. Have you ever noticed? “From a distance the ocean meets the stream, and the eagle takes to […]

Simple Corn Chowder

cornchowder1

Okay so, what’s the difference between a chowder and a soup? No, no. I’m actually asking. My fingers are too lazy to ask Dr. Google, so I’m asking you. I’m calling this a chowder since it has corn in it. And cream and potatoes. Okay I just looked it up. I’m basically right! Chowders are […]

Balemtime’s Bay! Yeah, I’m that obnoxious d-bucket who says Balemtime instead of Valentine. I know. I’m actually getting mad just typing it out. What’s even worse is if you heard me say it.
