I am back from the dead. Allow me to describe dead. It’s well, dead. Now you wonder, how did he come back to life? Not really sure – really.

I ate so much on Easter if my skinny wife and I walked down the street together we’d look like a 10. As I type this it is now 10:14 p.m. Easter Sunday night.  I rolled up here onto my bed and rolled around on my bed until I rolled up just right onto the [...]

Meatflat is Underrated

Posted in Food on January 19, 2010 | 10 Comments »

Welcome back to the kitchen. This is where I do some of my best work. FYI. The Little Woman left us – me, the cats, the dog, the ducks and the other critters. No sooner do we celebrate our anniversary does she hop on a plane to visit her daddy in Chicago. She said she’d [...]
