Anyone who knows me is familiar with my love of blueberries. Those suckers are awesome– WHEN they’re in season. Especially when they’re Michigan blueberries. I’m going to go get some in just a couple minutes. I hate summer because I hate any temperature over 70 degrees, but blueberry season is still one of my favorite [...]
I know I’ve talked about this before, but I’m really excited that blueberry season is coming up in another month or so. Fresh Michigan blueberries are one of my very favorite foods. The flavor is amazing. I can easily eat an entire quart all at once. (With no ill after-effects!)
When I was a student at Adrian College, almost twenty years ago, (!!!), I especially liked the Monte Cristo sandwiches that were served in the dining hall. I’d never seen or heard of them until my college years, and they were quite a novelty to me. Basically it was just a super-special grilled cheese sandwich. [...]
I’m going to go out on a limb here and admit to the world that I don’t like strawberry shortcake. I love strawberries. That’s not the problem. It’s the cake. Cake should have plenty of frosting, and it should preferably be chocolate. Other types are occasionally acceptable, like lemon or cherry cream. Pound cake does [...]

Wow, what a dissappointment. I just bought some watermelon at the store, but when I got it home and tried eating it, I discovered that it’s starting to go mushy and mealy. Ugh. I was really looking forward to some fresh cold watermelon! I ate SOME of it, but more than half the package was [...]
It’s almost midnight and I’m really hungry. I guess this makes sense, since all I ate all day was a burrito, some chips, and some green tea. One meal for the entire day. No wonder I’m agitated and frustrated and ready to scream into a rag coated with ether. Not that I’ve ever done that… [...]
1) Szechuan chicken with rice and an egg roll 2) Fettucine Alfredo 3) A big giant bacon double cheeseburger 4) Steak with sauteed mushrooms 5) Stuffed flounder with crab cakes 6) Spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread 7) Pizza with tons of meat on it 8. Beef and cheese enchiladas with mexican rice 9) Sweet [...]
Last night I had fish sticks with tabasco sauce. Not just a few drops, either… a good liberal coating. I love that stuff. And it dawned on me, as I was happily chowing down my fiery fishy treat, that I am probably in the distinct minority here. I bet most people would rather starve than [...]
It’s going to get in the upper 80′s, possibly 90′s today. Since I don’t have air conditioning, that means it’ll probably reach 100 indoors. This is the kind of weather where it’s refreshing to have a big slice of chilled watermelon. But alas, I have none. Maybe if I ask nicely, strangers on the street [...]
