Eating and drinking my way through life
I’ve been having a terrible last couple of weeks. I’ve been trying to navigate the kitchen on my own and I feel like I’ve been failing miserably. Of course it could just be all in my head. I have a tendency to second guess myself and my work. Or, it could just be the fact…
Intro Yep, you read that right. I’ve been going about this the wrong way. And by this, I mean my website and posts. I’m a serious procrastinator and I’ve got it down to a science. Well, maybe I’m not a procrastinator, but I certainly deflect, avoid, and make up excuses why I can’t post or…
We recently moved into a new condo. It’s a cute place with huge windows and an AMAZING view of Lake Michigan. It’s a smaller place with a “great room” which combines the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The kitchen is separated by the eating counter and the rest of the space is divided by…

It’s your sauce that should be the showcase. Granted, there are various dishes that you may want to have flavored noodles but this is a good recipe to…
If you go through Kansas, make sure you take the 10 mile detour north to Wamego. I’m sure you’ve never heard of it because neither have I. They are famous for a couple of things. First of which is the Oz Museum. The museum is a collection of both original and replicas from The Wizard of…
We went on a quick road trip to Denver and our friend suggested we head out to dinner (after we visited the casino that is). I mentioned I was having a craving for pizza and salad bar. That’s when Jerry mentioned mountain pie pizza. I laughed and asked what that was. He told us it…
So, I went to the fair I’m not a real fair-goer but on occasion, I’ll go. Like this year for instance. It so happened to be my company picnic. They gave us a parking pass, admission to the fairgrounds, fair bucks, and midway tickets. When I do go to the fair, I go for the…
