I am the very first to admit that, of all the many gifts I have inherited and refined, patience is NOT one of them. Oh, I’ve gotten better, but more often than not, throughout my life, impatience has cost me. I used to be such a stickler for my food quality. Classic French cuisine requiresContinue reading “Wait For It…”

Style
I am often asked what style or genre my writing is. I honestly don’t know how to answer that question. I believe in my book EMOTIONS! Not your Mama’s ABC’s! I have created an entirely new genre. I took the short story and made it into a short-short story, and the final product is theContinue reading “Style”
Closing Time
I worked in food service for several decades and closed many an establishment. I worked my way up from dishwasher to starred chef and at that level, I had a Chef Tournant whose staff would close and secure my kitchen. If I was on hand for closing, it was for a special occasion, or IContinue reading “Closing Time”
Problem Solved
Some Pennsylvania high school students are organizing a walk-out from their school because the world is spinning faster than they can catch up. Being forced to share bathroom facilities with transgender females doesn’t work for them. This is a problem and it won’t just be confined to the Quaker State. Make a third bathroom; forContinue reading “Problem Solved”
Turn the Page
OK, Miley Cyrus, I’ll give it to you. You are persistent. You, or the people responsible for your public image, have tried putting you in every outfit imaginable, trying to showcase the very little you were blessed with, and it hasn’t worked. Less is not better (or more). Eat something. Three words for you. KeepContinue reading “Turn the Page”
Not on the Menu
I was on the road with a national home cookin’ restaurant chain in the early nineties and on my first assignment I drove to a very small town in northern Alabama. I would never have picked this place unless I thought this move was good for my career. I actually lived pretty well for theContinue reading “Not on the Menu”
Down, But Not Out
I wasn’t feeling bad at all, having played an hour-long set at a new bar that wants to attract new patrons. My dinner consisted of a 4 oz piece of T-bone steak and exactly 10 Tater Tots (yes I counted them). I was sick as a dog on Friday night and I thought I wasContinue reading “Down, But Not Out”
Learn Something New Everyday
That is what we all do, until we expire. At least some people do. Some people never learn. Tourons. Tourist morons. A word which greatly reduces the length of my personal description of these fools, which is stupid-dumbass-losers-from-loser-parents-and loser-grandparents-and-whom-I-hope-suffer-a-slow-humiliating-and-excruciating-death. But that’s just me. The US has asked the Israelis not to respond with rage asContinue reading “Learn Something New Everyday”
No Balls
Ron “No Balls” DeSantis was fired a strike right down the middle of the plate, ready for him to crush it but no, he whiffed. With the whole world watching (except me and the Domestic Despot) he was asked what differentiated himself from Donald Trump. (drum roll please) In his own illiterate way, he mangedContinue reading “No Balls”
Initials
We call everything by it’s initials since we are a very lazy society in general. In recent news, SBF was denied bail in NYC for his role in FTX and his fucking over people to the tune of billions of dollars. I bet if you made him turn his hands over, you wouldn’t find aContinue reading “Initials”
