Is it just me…. or does this Dumb & Dumber scene also pop into your head any time anyone mentions “sea bass”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_y_tQMtnYo And that is maybe my 29801023981 D & D reference on this blog. Time to watch some new films. ….So you’re saying there’s a chance? (Or perhaps not). Any who. It’s mid […]

After renting the sommelier documentary on Netflix, Somm, I lately have found myself to be a bit of a wine connoisseur. And a terrible one on that note. The acid is pungent…. much like….. grapes when fermented…….. (duh) … smells like baking spices, some sort of jelly doughnut…. a well balanced old fashioned and pepperoni […]

It’s the weekend of the fourth and we are expecting an unholy amount of rain. Which i am 90 percent looking forward to due to the fact that my entire family is signed up for a “freedom” race at 7AM (like what??) and the thought of running one mile makes my legs ache, so three, hungover, […]

If you live anywhere else you probably are gagging. Ranch?  Is it still legal in the US? Damn right it is. FDA approved […]

 If I was given the option to pick what my heaven would look like, it would consist of  naan bread clouds decorated in Indian shenanigans and a never-ending platter of this pork n slaw. And probably a bunch of other stuff too, if i’m being perfectly honest.  I know….. I sound a little full of my recipe here. But guess […]

GUYS ITS FINALLY BASEBALL SEASON! And I literally couldn’t care less. Well, I couldn’t have cared less until I moved to St. Louis. You basically have to root for the Cardinals in order to be socially accepted into any circle. Granted my circle might just be me and my son, however, I’m pretty sure he […]

  I’m officially walking around the apartment with a tampon stuck up each nostril as allergies are literally taking over my current state of well-being.  *Double heel clicks for spring* But despite the ruby raw skin stache I’m developing above my upper lip due to constant blowing (hence tampons up the nose) I’m really really really excited for […]
