Holy good sweet pasta sauce ya’ll. I know it’s been a hot minute since I’ve written but I have a good reason. I have been pretty under the weather. And by under the weather, I mean that I have been suffering from a pretty severe bout of depression. I’m planning on writing more about my experiences…
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…
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,…
In an effort to healthy-up our lives Stax and I decided to buy some salmon. In fact, we didn’t just decide to buy the salmon…we also decided to eat the salmon. I enjoy writing the word salmon almost as much as I enjoy eating it. Salmon. This was an easy fast dish to make after…
I’d meant to write this last night in the Best Western in Grand Haven while eating cheap Chinese food from a place next to a Car Dealership…but Windows 10 was updating and that took about FOURTEEN HUNDRED HOURS…so I fell asleep. Instead, I’m writing this at a really cool coffee shop in Grand Rapids “MadCap”.…
Well, it’s here. It’s finally here. The first cooking food blog post of #CampGarcia. I suppose it was an inevitability. That I’d end up blogging about food. I mean, I love it. Cooking it, eating it, smelling it, looking at it, thinking about it…beautiful beautiful food. I can’t help it. I love food. Always have. I…
Wednesday 10 after 7 in the morning. Lester is sitting on the guest bed watching me write at the computer while Batman wanders aimlessly around the apartment meowing to god only knows what. (Lester has already dealt with all the ghosts so I’m not sure what Batman’s after) I’m having coffee, listening to a little…
BOOOOOOOOOOM Two weeks in a row. That’s right! Two weeks. That’s almost a habit. Right? Do something for 1,000 hours and it becomes a habit? Or maybe that’s to become an expert at something…I don’t know. I’m not a doctor (CALL BACK! To my other blog…remember that one?) I digress. So two weeks ago Stax…
In keeping with our promise to do two new things per week, we decided to do something that we’d never done in our 20 combined years in Chicago. Go to the airshow. Now, you might be saying, “But Todd, you’ve probably seen airplanes flying around Chicago during the airshow at some point!” And you’d be…
This was something Stax asked me this past Sunday. My initial reaction was “No, of course not” but then I looked down at my sweater vest and the dictionary I was reading and thought that maybe…just maybe…she was right. I mean, I’m 28 years old and Stax is *mumbles* years old and we can hang…
