  1. What's for Dinner?

    The other day I made biscuits and sausage gravy - a double batch of gravy. I am making pizza today, specifically breakfast pizza with sausage gravy, cheese and eggs. One of my favorite things to make and eat. And it's so healthy! (or whatever the opposite of healthy is)

  2. What's for Dinner?

    So I've been using Chipotles in Adobo sauce for years, but recently came across a simple recipe for combining some with mayo for a simple dip for hushpuppies. Freaking phenomenal. I made shrimp tostadas with homemade tortillas and shrimp salad with some leftover chipotle-mayo and it was...

  3. What are you drinking?

    Had a Samoa Porter from Strangeways last night. Funny story - that was the first beer I had 3-4 years ago that made me realize I might enjoy beer as much as wine. I fell in love with it instantly and it has always held a special place in my heart just for nostalgia's sake, really. Had it again...

  4. Weight Loss and Diet

    Yep, I went in levels. The first was the biggest drop, from 275 to 205. But then after a while I would creep back to 215 so then I got down to 195 and so on. I stayed at 190 for a long time until I was back to 194 consistently in December, which was my cue to pull it together. It's been harder...

  5. Weight Loss and Diet

    It's taken me 7 years but I'm down almost to where I want to be. I was at 275 and now am at 179, want to get to 175, should happen soon. I know if I stopped drinking I could do it in a heartbeat but that's no fun...

  6. What's for Dinner?

    Been eating bigger lunch with much smaller dinner for health reasons. Making a miso-marinated salmon with cauliflower fried rice in a bit. Love the way the Asian flavors come together in this.

  7. What are you drinking?

    Had an Orange Chocolate Imperial Stout from Brothers in HBurg last night that was fantastic. Gonna plug in their Mole Stout for the next time we eat Mexican.

  8. What's for Dinner?

    Made Butter Chicken for lunch today with Basmati Pilaf. It was freaking great. Making a lot of pasta next week, paired with fish - mostly salmon and flounder it looks like...

  9. What are you drinking?

    Had a Hardywood Gingerbread Stout aged in Rum Barrels from last year (2018) this week - it was great. We actually liked it a whole lot more than when it first came out - it really aged nicely. Blue Mountain's Concealed Darkness Irish Stout from this year is up next - probably this afternoon...

  10. What's for Dinner?

    That looks fantastic. Made grits this morning for brunch and the recipe called for adding hot sauce. Instead of that, I added in some Adobo sauce (no chipotles, just the sauce) and it was on point. Nice subtle smoky flavor with the cheese and grits. The youngest even got seconds and she doesn't...

  11. It's Only 4 Games

    ...it's only four games...it's only four games...it's only four games... If I keep repeating that to myself, I will gain some sort of perspective, right? Calm myself down a little? I mean...it's only four games. Right? RIGHT? Allow me a moment to gush, if I may. Damn. I mean, DAMN, this...

  12. 13 Year Old Thoughts

    Do you remember the first time you saw Animal House? I remember my first time. I was 13, staying over at a friend's house. His parents must have rented it or something, and were in another room, or out of the house, or whatever. Anyway, not totally appropriate for a 13 year old, even then...

  13. 10 Bold Predictions (2012 Style)

    Back by popular demand (do the voices in my head make me popular?)... 1. Brandon Banks returns four kicks for TDs and establishes himself as the new "Devin Hester" in the NFL. The bad news is that he also gets playing time as a WR, and can't make plays. But the return TDs more than make up...

  14. Fun with Preseason

    In watching the game last night (2nd preseaon game, at CHI) I had to take my mind off the horrific display, while reminding myself that, you know, it's just preseason. Naturally, I turned to movies. My movies, specifically. I looked at the DVDs I have, some were very appropos, others not as...

  15. The Waiting

    ...is the hardest part. No, not that waiting. Preseason starts in a month, training camp in a couple of weeks, we can make it, guys! Not that much longer, really. Once training camp hits, we will have man-crushes to discuss, debates over position depth, and many, many more things. Nope...

  16. Love, Hope and Risk

    “To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.” That pretty fairly encapsulates the Washington Redskins fans and organization over the past 24 hours, don’t you...

  17. Thank you, Dad

    Today (depending on when you read this) is Father's Day. Time to reflect on everything my Dad has given me, and a time to appreciate him. Especially for sports. There is something that bonds fathers and sons together when it comes to sports. I don't know what it is, I don't fully...

  18. Change is in the Air

    Not sure why, but body-switch movies are still being made by Hollywood. The Change-Up is coming out soon (way too disinterested to get you an actual date, sorry), and has two of my favorite actors, Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds. It will take buzz like that which Up in the Air created a...

  19. I Wonder...

    I've got four kids. Three girls (13,10 and 5) and one boy (6). If I had been placing odds on such things in my twenties, doubt I would have come up with four as our final number (and it is final, comprende`?). You know what I love most about my kids? The wonder in the most common, everyday...

  20. Manage This. Please.

    We've all had managers, yes? Good ones, bad ones, horrendous ones. We've all had people who exert a great deal of control over one aspect of our life, sometimes to the point that it impacts other areas of our life. I apologize in advance, but I want you to remember what it was like when you...
