Cinco De Drinko, is what the better half of my life referred to this Holiday as. Formerly known as the Golden Age. (Neither golden, nor an age, discuss).  The days where you could eat and drink whatever you please and wake up knowing that a Frank White was in your near future to clear […]

So I went foraging for some edibles this weekend, Morels, to be exact.  And the moral of my morel? Don’t do it. Really. Unless you are 100 percent guaranteed to find a pot of fungi gold. I found one lousy shroom  and a tick who made a nice little home on my scalp. The little […]

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.
