Does anyone really know what is in scrapple? I mean, when one of your main ingredients is offal, defined as “ the inedible parts of a butchered animal carcass,” is it any wonder you haven’t pursued this delicacy known as scrapple? Now, here comes the country boy in me, but I don’t routinely eat inedibleContinue reading “Scrapple and Other Things”

School’s in for Winter
It appears that with the dropping temperatures come rising expectations to have our fireplace working tomorrow. They should have our covered porch done tonight. You know one of the things I like to do socially is smoke weed. I always have. However, with the pandemic and the New Abnormal, I don’t want to die toContinue reading “School’s in for Winter”
I’m Not Getting Better, I’m Getting Older
Not really, but it’s a catchy title, no? Not too bad, but I am sitting here in my new little in-the-process-of-being-remodeled home, and so thankful for yet another bounteous Christmas spent with my girl. Man, I keep hearing all the news about the numbers involved with the Covid-19 virus, and they are downright scary. EverContinue reading “I’m Not Getting Better, I’m Getting Older”
Starting Anew
I lay down some words which will be included in the new song I am putting together, and I am having a blast with my Oculus II except I am now officially done with the rollercoaster app. Stomach-churning. The song is called Without You and the words I have assembled in this, the embryonic processContinue reading “Starting Anew”
Carry On
I will just get this off my chest and then I will move on. Notre Dame must have read their own halftime press as they proceeded to pull up their skirts and show the OK State Cowboys their knickers. The Cowboys taught fledgling young Irish Head Coach Marcus Freeman an early lesson in facing adversityContinue reading “Carry On”
Sayonara 2021
As promised, my review of the world haps in 2021 will resume with the month of May. I remember the news in June centered domestically on the condos in Surfside, Florida that collapsed. The human loss was 98 people. Horrible. And let’s not forget the shootings in Colorado Springs and Chicago and don’t forget SanContinue reading “Sayonara 2021”
Disagreement
At what point did disagreement cease to exist without threats, ill will, and violence entering the picture? I must have missed something. This topic for tonight’s blog (I really like to post at 12:01 am EST for consistency’s sake) came about because I was at a Christmas party and I will estimate the total guestContinue reading “Disagreement”
Rainy Season
The painters show up for day two and they already have the walls, trim, and ceilings done with the first coat. So they are really going at a fast clip and it looks like we might get it wrapped up by Friday. One of the lads professes to be a Fighting Irish football fan. IContinue reading “Rainy Season”
Fringe Bennies
There are benefits that come with good (read: high-paying) jobs. Usually, the higher-paying the job, the better the bennies. Not usually, higher. I was fortunate in my chef career to have befriended and worked for several very rich people. Diamond Danny owned forty-seven restaurants around the globe, and all of them were in coastal communities.Continue reading “Fringe Bennies”
Well Do Ya Punk?
Do you feel lucky? If so, why? Do you have a talisman or symbol of some sort that you use to summon up an extra “edge” to ensure success? How about a dance routine or soliloquy that you absolutely must perform pre-game or you risk pissing off the Sports Gods and dooming your teams’ chancesContinue reading “Well Do Ya Punk?”
