….And they’re gone. My parents just packed the car, hugged us one last time and drove away. Even at 34 years of age, I always get a little misty-eyed when they leave. I know that will never change. Parents are great. They’re great for buying you dinner. They’re great for buying you new sheet sets […]
Who here doesn’t love a good plate of franks and beans?I know it carries a connotation of being somewhat of a kid’s meal, in canned form and resembling something along the lines of DEATH AND REGRET. I get it, I do. So why not fancy it up a bit? Make it a little more adult, […]

It might be the case for you, but I always, ALWAYS craves starches. Whether it be seasoned skillet potatoes, silky pasta, asian-style rice, or freshly […]
Even though the summer season doesn’t official begin for another couple of days, I sure am feeling it now. And I mean that in a good way.
