I have an Application for Interlocutory Appeal due this week. Don’t know what that is? Consider yourself lucky (and obviously not a lawyer, double lucky and smart move on your part). I also have a headache, due to my failure to get caffeine into my system at a reasonable time this morning (I didn’t want [...]

Do-Gooding Made (VERY) Easy
1. Free Kibble will donate 10* pieces of kibble to animal shelters for every correctly answered trivia question per day (you can only play once per day). If you can’t manage to click a link and pick an answer once a day, may God have mercy on your evil soul.

It’s happening again…
The strange find multiple (and indeed, RANDOM) references to some new thing all at the same time. Last time was corn fungus cum culinary delicacy. This time it’s a book that was referenced by an Atlanta blogger and some NoCal food bloggers twitter stream (I don’t tweet, twit, etc., (as Dan Savage said, it cuts [...]

Warm Panko-crusted Chicken salad
I’m totally backwards. I post a cold chicken salad recipe as we’re still transitioning from Spring and a warm chicken salad recipe after it appears warmer days are here at last. I also do things like make unseasonal cobbler in the middle of winter (using frozen fruit) but that’s another story.
Also, I may have mentioned [...]

You’re such a corn smut
Do you ever find that you’ll come across something new (and, in my case, totally obscure and off the wall) and then you’ll see immediately see repeated references to that thing? It happens to me all the time, usually about the most random shit. For instance, Exhibit A: while skimming Atlanta Creative Loafing yesterday I [...]

On Life Support
Alternate title: How a Recipe is Like Mouth to Mouth but Can’t Give you VD – or Can it?
Oh blog, gasping for air, for life, fighting with all your might. I have turned away, too busy to hear your death throes (and not caring, to be honest – I’m not alone in this). I think [...]

File under “Things I wish I had Learned Long Ago”
It’s always the simplest crap, too. I just now learned you can make microwave popcorn using regular kernels. I enjoy popcorn as a snack now and again (it’s a whole grain, after all) but given health concerns about microwave popcorn (which are probably over-blown, due to media fear-mongering), not to mention the loads of chemical [...]

Spill your guts, Atlanta
There’s talk of a permanent Story Corps booth coming to Atlanta (so says Atlanta MetBlogs). Story Corps tends to make my Friday morning drive a little teary eyed, but I forgive it for that, because it sometimes manages to give me a fleeting modicum of faith in humanity (not I did not say reaffirm [...]
