vaculator, franken puss
My newest coffee-making gadget, a coffee siphon, came in the mail today. After cleaning it up I couldn’t just let it sit there, so I loaded it up with a couple scoops of freshly-ground coffee, put it on the front burner, cranked up the heat and kept one eye on it while My Darling B… Read.

honesty
The most honest thing I’ve read all day is the nutrition label on a roll of Necco wafers. That depends, of course, on whether you accept the premise that a roll of Necco wafers can be said to have any nutritional value at all. “Serving Size: 1 roll,” it said. That’s as baldly honest as… Read.

pimento
Did you know that pimentos are chilis and not just some random red vegetable matter dangling from the middles of olives like naval lint? I have to admit I never thought about it until today, when My Darling B served pimento cheese spread for lunch. “Where did you get pimentos?” I asked her, pondering for… Read.

pots
Breakfast: A cup of coffee, and another cup of coffee. And I’m fine with that because I’ve been eating nonstop since last Friday. It’s time to stop. I’ve eaten so much food in the past three days that I’m pretty sure I won’t have to eat again until maybe next week. Oh, wait. My Darling… Read.

Fox Valley Brewery Tour
I have the teensie-weansiest little headachette this morning, just a little pressure at my temples that makes my eyelids squeak when I blink them, as if they’re on rusty hinges. I’m sure it’ll go away after a cup of coffee. This is definitely not the fault of the beer I drank during our tour of… Read.

Eating in Denver
We went to Denver to visit Sean and visit our old, favorite haunts. What we ended up doing was eating almost non-stop. At least it felt that way, even though we ate just two meals each day. For all practical purposes there is an infinite number of restaurants and other places to eat in and… Read.

nosh
The Madison Food and Wine Show was a tad disappointing this year. There didn’t seem to be as much food to sample, and neither My Darling B nor I thought that any of the wines we tasted were especially remarkable. There was lots of cheese kibbled and set out to try – this is Wisconsin,… Read.

measly 20 bucks
I bought a coffee pot from a guy on e-bay. Well, no, wait. If I say I’ve bought a coffee pot, you might assume I gave the guy money and he sent me a coffee pot. You might even assume I now possess a coffee pot. I do not and, as far as I know,… Read.

lull
Thursday night is guy night, the night I’m in charge of putting food on the family, and while I could have taken My Darling B straight home and burned some animal flesh on the Weber, instead I suggested that we spend the evening relaxing on the patio at Mickey’s Tavern with a couple of beers… Read.

doink
Sorry, not much time left over to drivel tonight. I spent a couple hours doinking around with train track on the model layout in the basement, and when I thought I couldn’t justify spending any more time on that, I went upstairs, sat my butt down in the recliner and read other people’s drivel posted… Read.
