As regular readers probably know, I write this weblog for me, not you. I love that you all come here and comment, I love the discussions we get into, and I sincerely thank you for the information you provide along the way, but the simple truth is that I would …
If I knew a year ago what I know now, this would hardly be a question, but I am still actively pursuing my options thanks to a lot of helpful advice in the previous thread, which brings us to this question:
So, what do you know about buying precious metals? And, no, I do not mean buying precious-metal-related mutual funds, or precious-metal-related accounts; I mean actual, honest-to-God, hold-in-your-hand metals.
I am headed south this morning to meet up with Better Half and see her sister’s rehearsal, and then mosey on to a friend’s wedding, so I will be out-of-pocket for the whole weekend. Fret not, I have a few posts queued up to mysteriously appear while I am gone, …
Ok, we were caught a little flat-footed when it came to planning ahead for this auspicious day, but it still worked out alright.
Update: As requested, here is our short-and-sweet recipe. First, go to your local Big Market store and buy a pre-brined Corned Beef (yes, we cheat). Next, place …
Ah, the joys of spending Christmas with a one-year-old and a three-year-old (otherwise known as the “teeny terrorists” – on account of their “give me what I want or I will explode” methodology) – we are just now (mostly) finishing unwrapping gifts, after having been awake for only ten hours……

This thought never would have even crossed my mind, but “ash-ripening” goat cheese with poplar tree ash creates something that is damned good. You have to get past the whole, “they intentionally added powdered, burned wood to my cheese,” thing, and the end result is not your mama’s goat cheese …
We are headed to Charlotte to spend the night before being summarily groped-and-poked by the Thousands Standing Around at the airport there, and then fly off to visit the parental units… While I will have my smartphone with me, and while it does a surprisingly good job of posting to …
Yeah. Just found them in my backpack, where they have been for the past two months, despite having searched that backpack thoroughly (or what I thought was thoroughly) more than a few times in Europe and at …
Well, this is a first for me – writing about a beer I enjoy.
Better Half had been wanting a pumpkin ale for a while now, but every time we thought about it, it was generally after we had gotten back from our grocery run. However, last time we were …
By now, you should know that a morocco-’tini is probably the best drink in the world, and definitely the most dangerous… And if you do not, you really should give it a shot. The sweet vermouth is largely optional (we do not use it, and while that changes the …
“A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares about more than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” by John Stuart Mill
