As I mentioned in the first post, alcohol was certainly not part of my upbringing and I didn't really know anyone who drank, other than some relatives. When alcohol was mentioned, it was typically in a very negative fashion. This was not just because of the Mennonite stance on drinking, but also because of alcoholism in my mom's family ...

While at University of Delaware main campus for a year, I worked a bit in a couple of the campus food areas. One was really just a glorified cafeteria, but the other was probably the most interesting place to get food on campus, a small grill. The biggest specialty was cheese steaks, which would start out as a huge frozen ball of beef that ...

For some reason, one of the first jobs I got outside the home was in a small restaurant.  Not really even sure why now, but it probably impacted the rest of my life in some ways.  My first job was at a little cafe in our little town of Greenwood called “The Lettuce Bowl”.  Simple little place, mostly salads, sandwiches, pastries, ...

Introduction
If you've known me for any length of time, you probably know I'm really into food and cooking. Heck, at least half my blog posts mention food in some fashion. I thought it might be interesting to chronicle my relationship with food throughout my life. There are a lot of different experiences I've had that have ...

Hard to believe after the harsh winter, but it's planting time again. We are pretty excited because last year by the time we got the garden plot created and planted, it was already fairly late in the season. We are back again at our friends place (Keith & Joni) trying to get some stuff to grow in the city for the second ...

So this morning I had a dentist appointment and I had to walk across the loop. It had snowed and was still snowy, so there was various snow removal going on. I walked by the Daley Center and they were clearing snow from what is admittedly a bit more sidewalk/terrace than some buildings. They were clearing it with what looked like ...

So by about the Saturday after Christmas, we were getting a bit stir crazy at my wife's parents and decided to mosey over to Harrisburg to check out a couple of local craft breweries. We usually go over to Yuengling for their tour, but we've been there the last couple years and wanted to check some new stuff out.
Fighting through some bad ...

I've tried to shy away from political commentary on this blog, but enough is enough. I spent much of last night's VP debate alternately rolling my eyes and being angry. And this morning I feel much the same way. Apparently if you can at least talk and not say anything that a 6th grader would find stupid, you can be a successful VP ...

The Very Good Taste blog has a very interesting idea, put up a list of 100 diverse foods that they think every omnivore should try and have people indicate what they have actually tried. If you want to try this, go to the blog and they have a link to the Wikipedia entry for each food as well if you need a definition or further explanation. ...

Over the last couple weeks I've run into several folks who are leaving the city for the suburbs and at the same time I'm reading about permaculture, so it's creating some interesting juxtupositions in my head. This morning on NPR they had a story about a lady in the Chicago suburbs who is going around her neighborhood trying to get people to ...
