It’s Monday evening. Stax and I just got done watching an episode of Guys Grocery Games while eating a roast pork loin and roasted cauliflower CAUSE WE’RE ADULTS AND THAT IS AN ACCEPTABLE WAY TO SPEND A MONDAY! *throat clear* Sorry, it was a “Juniors” episode and I always get really upset at the kids because…
The other day as I strolled around on twitter dodging retweets from the day’s news, I saw a blue check mark who was unhappy he had to read someone’s “life story” every time he wanted to see a recipe. Which, as someone who puts a little bit of himself into each post, got me thinking…
I’m sure most people who are reading this blog have heard of The Joy of Cooking cook book. It is, outside of various well-known chefs, probably one of the quintessential cookbooks for anyone’s kitchen. It is 86 year’s old and still relevant. I can’t name many humans who live to be 86 and are as relevant…
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times… There’s nothing I love in this world more than stuffing food inside of other food….also my wife. I also love my wife. Nothing says “I love you” like making dinner and nothing says “I’m trying to eat more vegetables” like taking a perfectly nice…
Stax and I are doing this thing. It’s kinda new and hip so I wouldn’t blame you if you hadn’t heard of it. It’s called “eating healthy”. What you do, is eat foods that are generally less likely to kill you than other foods. So instead of things like hamburgers or three Chipotle Burritos in…
I really wanted to call this post Cooking to Forget but I could hear Stacey’s voice in the back of my head as I wrote it. “Soooooo dramatic, Todd” So, I decided to go with the (slightly) less dramatic title, even though it is still every bit as much of a “VagueBook” post as the initial…
Recently I’ve been listening to a lot of this podcast called Lore. It’s a good short podcast for the trip to and from the office and it’s generally very interesting. If the title didn’t give it away, the content of each episode centers around “lore”. Stories of ghosts, folklore, haunted houses and witchcraft etc… Which…
I hate baking. Well, I don’t hate it, but since I’m not very good at it I try and avoid doing it whenever I can. Which is why I was surprised to find myself making Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuits on Sunday night. Well, maybe not that surprised. Well, maybe not that surprised…considering no one forced me to…
You know that old relationship you had in high school. The one that, at the time, you thought was perfect and could never end. The two of you were inseparable. You’d write notes and leave them in each other’s locker, you’d let them wear your favorite Starter jacket all week and you’d always…always figure out a…
The past few weeks have been really difficult. Regardless of what side you find yourself on, it’s been incredibly stressful to watch what’s been happening in the world. Especially here in the states. In my, admittedly short, lifetime I’ve never seen the America as openly divided as it is now. The divide stretches across gender,…
