  beer, daily drivel, festivals, food & drink, My Darling B, O’Folks, play, restaurants

  The most unexpected thing to happen to me this weekend: I ran into a distant relative at the Isthmus beer and cheese festival. Standing in the middle of the room with My Darling B, just minutes after we got there, I looked up from the map we were using to plan our attack on the… Read.

  festivals, food & drink, Madison Restaurant Week, My Darling B, O’Folks, play, restaurants

  My Darling B and I went to lunch at Inka Heritage to kick off Madison’s Restaurant Week (winter edition). I have no idea if they’re serving authentic Peruvian cuisine, never having been to Peru myself, but I can tell you that the food I ate there tasted really, really good. I started off with an… Read.

  coffee, food & drink, play

  I broke my new coffee toy this morning. I caught a bad case of butter fingers while I was washing the dishes and dropped a cocktail shaker into the dish pan which, unfortunately, was where the upper globe of the vacuum coffee maker was waiting to be washed off. Caved in one whole side of… Read.

  A dull, dreary day is a perfect day stay in the basement, working on the model railroad layout. I spent most of the day running a subroadbed through a tight curve that will end up at one of the three terminals on the line, and at the very highest point as well. The way the… Read.

  daily drivel, food & drink, Friday the 13th, My Darling B, O’Folks, play, restaurants

  Last Friday was the thirteenth! It was the thirteenth, and we didn’t realize it until after we were both at work! WHERE WERE WE GOING TO EAT? Back in January, 2006, we started a tradition of eating a really good dinner at a really nice place on Friday the thirteenth, when we decided, on a… Read.

  I’ve spent the morning and part of the afternoon making a few improvements around the house, starting with the book cases in the extra room. It used to be Tim’s room, but we’ve been using it as an office. That’s a highfalutin way of saying we put a desk in there that’s been buried under… Read.

  Zombie on a plane! How come nobody’s made that movie yet? A guy gets mugged on his way to the airport and, unbeknownst to him and everyone on the place, the zombie apocalypse has just begun. Even though the mugger manages to drag the guy to the ground and bite him the guy manages to… Read.

  Robert Plant is such an atrociously bad singer that I had no idea Whole Lotta Love was such a filthy, dirty song until I heard this version of it by Those Darn Accordions. Absolutely lascivious. Here, listen to it yourself: Read.

  coffee, food & drink, play

  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.
