Help me 6 pound, 4 ounce Baby Jeebus!*

March 13, 2008

(Fast trivia fact that is completely worthless, but fascinating: race car is spelled the same forward and backward. I think that’s called a palindrome. It’s probably not a true palindrome, though, because it’s actually two words instead of one.) On Thursday last week I did something I never thought I would do. I drove an [...]

The Vegas Migraine–Now with Caviar and Shoeshine Girls

March 11, 2008

On our first night in Las Vegas we decided to eat at Aquaknox because they make the most amazing prawns with caviar sauce. My mouth waters at the thought of it. Seriously.

March 15, 2007

I know, I know. I need to come up with another line. But, really, what says it better than that? Warning: This is one of those very annoying and even more boring posts that you would do well to miss. I give you my To Do List: Kohl’s: return pants that didn’t fit Max. Why [...]

French Cooking at Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival

October 24, 2006

On our first morning in Disney I booked a cooking class for my mom and myself. I don’t know exactly what I was expecting, but it wasn’t this.
