One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
This was my first trip in, I don’t-know-how-long, that I didn’t bring my computer. For almost a solid four days I was computer free. I must say it was pretty amazing. I also bought a ticket, so no standby traveling for me this time, which was also pretty amazing. This Thanksgiving we went to New…
Colorado has been great for many reasons, but one of my favorites has been hiking. A couple of weekends ago my roommate and a couple of friends and I went to Aspen for the weekend. We were staying with my friends Aunt and Uncle who wanted to wine and dine us all weekend—I won’t argue…

(Kara in her amazing Halloween costume) Not to leave my little sister out, because she is amazing as well, but this post is about my older sister, and of course food. Kara, my older sister, is such a great older sister that she earned her own day, which I titled “Kara Appreciation Day.” This…
I love the show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on Food Network channel. I think it’s an awesome show and concept. It’s like the American Idol for restaurants. The restaurants that can’t get the word out about their food, in their small town kitchens, that are just as top notch as a those big guys…
Can you imagine a world where you can eat fried cookie dough and wash it down with fried kool aid? Or fried butter and fried autumn pie are options for dessert? Well brace yourself because this world exists. What I have just described is the Texas State Fair. I am used to going to…
