I don't have many comics that deal with food, nor holidays. But this one meets both criteria, so please to enjoy!P.Hops A lot of this strip's comedy was not mined from the Earth, but from my buddy David Poller.
Ode to the egg turner
Darlene and I have asked each other many times, and my answer remains unchanged: If I had to rescue one cooking implement from my burning kitchen, it'd be the Ekco® Egg Turner™."...is to pry it from my cold, dead hands!"This little baby has helped me whip together countless plates of perfect scrambled eggs over the...

88 miles for a Shamrock Sh…
Top o' the mornin' to ye, me fine lads and lassies! Me latest adventure in blog form has a three-fold purpose: 1.) It's St. Patrick's Day, 2.) I wanted to try a Shamrock Shake for the first time, and 3.) I wanted to see if the foul, 20-year-old rumor about Shamrock Shakes becoming, uh, Shamrock... Continue Reading →

So much so that sometimes I just buy a quart and start chugging (you should see the faces on the people at the gym when... Continue Reading →
I quit
A confession: I've been feeling overwhelmed with blogging. I've been officially been posting on My Burning Kitchen for three years. From what started as a place where I would occasionally post crazy ramblings mostly about food has morphed into an almost real job. I've been feeling burned out and stressed whenever I thought about blogging.... Continue Reading →
San Francisco treats
So my trip to San Francisco last weekend was a blast and, unfortunately, like all my trips, it was way too short and there was way too much eating. But it was a vacation so I absolutely had to enjoy myself while I was in the city surrounded by good food galore.The trip was momentarily... Continue Reading →
Back from San Francisco
I absolutely hate doing these one photo posts but until I have time to write here's a quick rundown of last weekend's San Francisco trip: expensive gas, chocolate factory tour, cupcakes, lots of rain, first time driving in the city and too little time.
