I’ve been getting emails from everyone about what job they would like to hold for Starbuck’s.
Taj - You’re hired. You get to be Director of Muffin flavors. We’ll hire a part time consultant for scones. You’ll have your own focus group, of course.
Beau is Executive Vice President of Italian Sounding Thingies (very important, hence […]

I know I haven’t been talking about wine enough lately, what with the name of this blog and all. I’ve been writing about it so much outside of this blog that I was stuffed. But, as we enter the heavy drinking season, I have plenty of tasting notes saved up for tasty holiday treats. Today’s […]

This experiment had some fits and starts. My Dunkin Donuts Original Blend brew challenge didn’t start off well. I cut open the sealed bag to reveal the beans at right. Yuck. That shine’s not from oil, that’s just the flash that I was to lazy to correct. These beans were light brown and completely dry, […]

First, a little disclaimer. I’ve worked for Tom Douglas. As far as star/celebrity chefs go, he’s like the Bruce Willis. He’s the everyman: affable, commited, and the hardest working “celebutante” I’ve ever seen. Not a fancy-pants foam guy. You’re more liable to find him in the dish pit or on the line of any one […]

I get forwarded a lot of stuff. I don’t need any help in the procrastination department, people. I’m already addicted to boingboing.
And this is one of the latest little nuggets featured on the site:
700 Hobo Names
As read by the author, John Hodgman, in just one take. The comedy has a cumulitive affect, trust me.

But I’ll try a […]

So, I’ve been dealing with this whole spamming thing. I guess I get caught up in the stupidity of it all. Why not try to sneak in a single comment? Do you really think 500 comments telling my readers to go to your linux site will get you business? No. And it’s soils the name […]

What goes best with the news of Tom DeLay’s arrest? Bubbles, of course! Here’s to you Tommy!
I’ve been racking my brain, trying to come up with a replacement harvest celebratory cocktail. A replacement for Beaujolais Nouveau that is. Long time readers of this blog will know that not ever having to hock that overrated […]

I still seem to attract more readers who feel the need to vent on email instead of commenting directly on the site. Boy do I get some nasty email. I’d love you guys to just post it. If not, I will go ahead and start sharing it. It’s not hard to comment. If you don’t […]

So, first off. I have to tell you that my broham is as happy as a little schoolgirl right now because Pete Townshend has a link to my bro’s vlog on his blog. We grew up on a strict diet of The Who, due to my music-loving pop, who is most likely shitting a brick […]
