Earlier, I said dog days are coming and I meant it. It has taken a while to get everything worked out, but Monday begins something a little different. A friend and I will commit ourselves to eight weeks of dry dog food-eating experimentation for the betterment of mankind. I know you have lot’s of questions,… Continue reading Soylent Green is People, This is Not

Weight Watcher’s Recipes (circa 1974)
Candy Boots has done some brilliant work resurrecting old recipe cards from the genius of Weight Watchers. My wife and friend, Amanda, had the idea to put together some product shots of the recipes highlighted on Candy Boots’ site. If we’re among the first 20 to do so, we’ll get a free copy of her… Continue reading Weight Watcher’s Recipes (circa 1974)
Resiliency
The boy, Balthazar, is doing well in his young years. He had his first all-nighter party this evening. We took a trip out to Isi’s (Missy’s) for their girl’s 1st birthday. It wasn’t until 9:30 that we finally arrived, but by 12:00 when we left, Balthazar was going strong. He seemed to enjoy himself. Between… Continue reading Resiliency
I ❤ Squid
I’m infatuated with big squid. In London, they have a 28 footer on display, which I would love to go and see. The fascinating thing about them is their potential for mythic sizes, rarity, and keen hunter abilities. A squid of thirty feet could grab you with its tentacles before you ever saw it at… Continue reading I ❤ Squid
Japanese Hornets Slaughter Bees
If you weren’t concerned with hornets before, now you’re vomiting from fear.
Drunken Goat Cheese
In what could very well be a new *thing*, I’ve indulged in a new cheese never before known to my palate. It was Isi’s (soon to have a linkable blog) inspiration that got me to do this. That is, Isi talked about a “Tour de Cheese” to have a chance at trying lots of different… Continue reading Drunken Goat Cheese
The Lamest Kid’s Meal Toy EVER
We looked through the informational pamphlet. Yeah – it didn’t get any more exciting inside either. There’s apparently a whole series to collect. Whoopie!
Medieval Punishments
My mom, out on the farm, has resurrected an ancient form of punishment to present to her dogs. One of her dogs, a young Great Pyrenees, has learned to kill the chickens. This is generally an unforgivable act, but one that she feels is accounted for by her rambunctious youth. However, the puppy has recently… Continue reading Medieval Punishments
Dog Days are Coming
There is a plan on the horizon that marks a great experiment for two grown men to conduct over the period of, hopefully, eight weeks. It’s either a great experiement worthy of a Nobel Prize, or it will kill each of us and grant us an entry in the Darwin Awards. I am not ready… Continue reading Dog Days are Coming
How I Work
The longest amount of time spent, and time I am unable to account for, is research. Depending on the topic, I may spend a week pouring through as many references I can find on a particular subject to get a real good feel for the information. If I don’t require reference material as I write, it goes much quicker.
