Football season is depressing AF this year. Both cowboys & patriots are in it to possibly win it and the thought of that happening to either team makes me lose my appetite. Which basically is unheard of. So therefore I am probably lying. Which I am, sadly. SO I retract the losing my appetite statement. That was […]

Current happenings in my life, myself on dinner dates. Me: Orders food, politely picks at food, being sure to chew like 100 times per bite. The moment date leaves for the bathroom:   The moment date returns far too quickly from bathroom trip, clearly forgetting to wash hands: The struggle is real. Which is why dinner dates […]

Thanksgiving week in a nutshell: “I don’t stop eating when I’m full. The meal isn’t over when I’m full. It’s over when I hate myself. “ – Louis C.K.

Every day I’m hassling. No, seriously, I am. Sweet potato hasselbacks are literally exploding in my kitchen. I made so damn much that I have enough to last me a life time. My freezer looks as though I’m a doomsday prepper. That or just another mid westerner preparing for the next twister to lift me off […]

Since temperatures outside are mostly tolerable these days (of course when dressed appropriately) I’ve decided to dust off the ol’ grill top and start smoking mah meat. Well, not all of my meat, but this particular hunk of hog (pork butt).  Plus, I don’t know about you, but I am quite the fan of hair smelling […]

I’m tired. I’m so tired that I’ve accidentally kicked my clicker under the couch and am ‘stuck’ watching the Kardashians marathon that is slowly turning my brain in to overcooked pasghetti.  What you don’t know is that I love overcooked pasghetti, so bring it. Urrrrrrrr #sorrynotsorry Lately I’ve had a thing for whiskey in my […]
