The Crutch of the Matter

Since I've started working on my series of short stories, writing has become much easier for me. Not necessarily blog entries, since that's a whole other process, but I've now written four or five stories (I lost count), all of which take place in that same world. While I'm digging the ease of writing, but I'm getting … Continue reading The Crutch of the Matter →

Recipe: Lil’ Griddlin’s

I haven't talked about it much, but I do a fair amount of cooking. I've long ago conquered the egg and ramen is no longer beyond me. After all this experience, I've decided to share with you, my lucky readers, a recipe I made up just yesterday. I call it Lil Griddlin's, because cutesy names … Continue reading Recipe: Lil’ Griddlin’s →

Book Review: The Long Fall by Walter Mosley

Walter Mosley has been one of my favorite writers for a while now. I've only read one of his science-fiction novels (The Wave, good read), but I've read a goodly portion of his mysteries. His stories are always uniquely his, even the ones that take place in a cliche-raddled genre like Detective Fiction.And this is especially … Continue reading Book Review: The Long Fall by Walter Mosley →

Beer Review: Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale

As I mentioned in my last review, I really like Guinness and other dark, bitter beers. So I grabbed Dogfish Head's Indian Brown Ale. Unfortunately, I made a mistake.

But that's … Continue reading Beer Review: Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale →

Unfortunately for you, I don't know much about the vocabulary necessary to describe the flavors and tastes of beer. So this means a lot of winging it and confusing, muddled adjectives. I hope you're excited, cause I'm excited. Leffe-Blonde … Continue reading Beer Review: Leffe Blonde →

A Mopsy Proposal

I have a theory and it involves deliciousness. My hypothesis is this: if you were to feed an animal enough something, that animal would taste like that something. To wit; if you were to feed a chicken a substantial amount of pepper, the chicken would then arrive at the dinner table pre-peppered. Which leads to … Continue reading A Mopsy Proposal →

I've decided that I should new things. Like reviewing beers and the like. So I picked this. Beer reviewing … Continue reading Beer Review: Spaten Optimator →

Snow

Way back in December, I can remember worrying that it wasn't snowing enough. Emily hadn't really seen snow and aside from a few flurries, Boston wasn't delivering. So there was actually a time when I wished for the snow, if only so Emily could experience it. And on December 26th, it came. Beautiful, clean snow covered … Continue reading Snow →
