Summer foooood, and the eating is easy. The older I get, the more I want to punch summer in the nuts. Don’t get me wrong!

Don’t Make Me Call The Hogs.
I fully intend to post actual recipes again one day. Next week in fact! But today, since we ain’t gotz no food, we’re looking at vacay photos! (aka: lots of babies in pools.) So, last week we packed our bags and took a quick summer road trip to Arkansas to see the fams. But before […]
The Great Weidner Summer Wrap of 2014
Oh yaaaaay, I have 300 billion 47 thousand 925 photos to show you! But I put most of them in collage form, to keep you from pouring gasoline on yourself.

You know how when you get chills little bumps raise up all over your skin? “Goosies” as J-Lo calls them? Okay, when I get the chills, they raise up in little patches. And ONLY on my left arm. Like, random little goosie patches. My right arm is completely normal, chill bumps performing gorgeously in an […]

AMERICUUUUH. This round-up is actually extremely tiny and hilarious. And you mostly likely have your menu planned for today like a well-behaved, organized American citizen, but just in case you needed two more side options, four main entrĂ©e alternatives like burgers and fish, one drink option and seriously only one dessert option, Y’ALL I AM […]
