Sometimes ads make you stop and look. I've had a long-standing guff against the hyper-sexy female robots. While the "Messin With Sasquatch" television ads always made Paul stop what he was doing — exactly what an ad should make you do. But this recent print ad for Pam cooking spray had me studying it a... Continue Reading →
“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
One of my biggest fears that I have yet to conquer is making my own dough from scratch. Between the flour getting everywhere, the kneading and time for the dough to rise, it gets bit too involved with my busy schedule. I won't lie and say I make my own dough. I usually go out... Continue Reading →
The journey of a thousand pounds begins with a single burger
Among the many food sites I've read earlier this year, I saw a bracket for the best chain hamburger. It happened to run in conjunction with March Madness, and since I know almost nothing about basketball I had more interest in this bracket than who was in the Final Four. Back to the burgers, the...

Why did Snoopy quit the comic strip? Because he was tired of working for peanuts.
Another San Diego Comic-Con has ended. Like many conventions, it’s been enjoyable to catch up with fellow exhibitors who have also become friends over the years, talking to many people who read Paul’s comic strip that have filtered over to my food blog and making new friends. It’s always sad when it’s finally over. I... Continue Reading →
“It’s become so huge, it will eat us all!!”
Paul with Robert Englund aka Freddie Kruegar. A few days ago, I starting crafting a post related to San Diego's annual event, San Diego Comic-Con International. But I ran out of time helping Paul prepare for the show, set up his table and other obligations suited to the wife of a comic creator. And now that... Continue Reading →
I like my new telephone, my computer works just fine, my calculator is perfect, but Lord, I miss my mind!
When the iPad was first released, I was admitted one of those people that pshawed at the idea. What were those idiots doing, waiting in line to pay a high price for a piece of technology? Surely they were only paying to be beta testers. But I went to the Apple store a few times... Continue Reading →
It is wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago…
I lived in Chicago for three years. And even though it was on a military base north of the actual city — Great Lakes Naval Training Station to be exact — I do proclaim myself to be semi-Chicagoan. I've experienced the snow storms, summer humidity and tornado warnings, learned about wind chill factor and went... Continue Reading →
The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age
Lately the months of June and July have been a whirlwind. Between celebrating our anniversary and helping Paul prep for the San Diego Comic-Con near the end of July, my birthday falls in between. As my age ticks upward, the birthdays are less and less important to me unless it's the "big one." Since that... Continue Reading →
Who put the “pop” in the “soda pop?”
Our refrigerator is a collection of things eaten throughout the week and condiments we can't live without. Upon a deep cleaning of it one day, I noticed the collection of sodas/energy drinks we have gathered throughout the years. Stuff we never had any intention of drinking but sit there on display in the refrigerator. It's... Continue Reading →
Foodbuzz 24×24: Sampling the 33rd Parallel
Due to limited vacation time and funds, my travels to exotic locations have been limited to jaunts around the United States which have included Portland, Seattle and Phoenix earlier this year. Plans later this year include New York City and San Francisco but I can't help but to long for far-off places like my previous... Continue Reading →
My Burning Kitchen... on the road
