Fried Beer
Well, I guess I should devote a few spare words to the laetsts food craze sweeping the Intratubes - Fried Beer. Frankly, I'm disappointed. Yes, I know that I have, in the past espoused the fervent belief, backed up by...
Our National Pastime
We recently went to a ball game here with the Colorado Rockies, the first game in fact that we've attended since we moved to Colorado. We're not exactly huge sports fans. Actually we're not any kind of sports fans. We...
Cheese Wheels
I have a confession. Yes, it is yet another confession. Yes, I have a lot of confessions. I'm a lapsed Catholic. It's our thing. We never get over that whole sit in a dark cubicle and tell a man who...
Dinner Ideas
As the primary meal purveyor in the Waring household, I occasionally find myself completely bereft of ideas for the evening meal. More to the point, I sometimes find myself rather wanting in motivational impetus to cook. This wouldn't be a...
Truly, Deeply, Madly Bad Ideas
Deep from the depths of American product promotion ideas come a new and horrifying twist on that perennial breakfast icon - the Poptart. Now, to be honest the humble poptart really isn't the worst idea for a breakfast food that...
Marmite Shocker
Marmite stocks have fallen. Marmite prices have risen. Disaster stalks outside your door. Is it locked? Are you prepared? Can you be prepared for a potential disaster of this magnitude? Can anyone? Are there any more mock terror questions I...
Future Food Fun
In travel related plans, summer is drawing to a close. While the nation as a whole has sweltered, roasted, and boiled, we've been having a somewhat cooler season than usual up here in the High Rockies. John Denver country. Well,...
National Ice Cream Month
Did you know there was a National Ice Cream Month? Neither did I. I suppose there's a National day, week, or month for pretty much everything nowadays. Especially, things or services that can be exchanged for cash. But as it...
Unusual Meals: In The Beginning
Mary politely interrupted my perusal of the latest issue of Irradiated Foods Monthly to importune me to write something - anything. I declared that I had checked my larder of article ideas - and the cupboard was bare, my love!...
Canned!
Oh good, another post about canned food. But this time it concerns awesomely bad ideas for canned food, so different. Okay, maybe not that different, but in the present example there's also a whiff of fraud and a slight taint...
Germanic Idylls
We enjoyed our recent visit to Germany, really we did. Beer gardens (or biergartens as our Teutonic cousins refer to them) are awesome. I could spend days there but sadly, Mary has some sort of genetic disorder that results...
Meditations on Cheese!
Or the semblance of cheese. We were talking over lunch about the upcoming trip to Europe and I mentioned that for the life of me I couldn't really think of any famous German cheeses. French, English, and Italian - yes,...
Sandwich of Doom
It's hard to believe that even KFC could top itself in the category of 'Things That WILL Almost Certainly Kill You If You Eat Them' after the KFC Bowl o' Fatty Starch Starch. But they have. And with little...
Anchovial Alchemy
I have a new addiction. The new addiction joins the panoply of other food related addictions such as the fried pork products, fried potato products, beer, fruit cake (that's another story - for later), smoked meat products of all...

Community Supported Agriculture
I've mentioned Community Supported Agriculture a few times in the past couple of months and I thought I'd expand on the subject a little. Basically CSA's are cooperative ventures where you (the consumer) invest in a farm or collection...
Breakfast Vacations
Well, with Wall Street melting down and our 401(k)'s doing submarine imitations, we decided that frivolous vacation-like trips are on the back burner for a while. As opposed to frivolous business-like trips, which we have to do even if...
