Apple Dutch Baby, for One
Do you ever have days where you’d like to demonstrate the “crotch chop” at the world and say, “Suck it!” as goes along with such an act? Yeah, I just said crotch chop. And suck it. In the same sentence. … Continue reading
Energy Boost Juice
In the last few years, I’ve learned a few things about going to the gym: 1.) If I go between 7:30 AM and 11:30 AM, the senior population scattered around the place is out of control. And parking? Forget it. 2.) … Continue reading
Vegetarian Gorgonzola Bacon Burger Pizza
Sometimes I’m pretty sure I can demolish pizza like a teenage boy. I love the versatility of pizzas: sauces of whatever variety you like, toppings galore, dessert, dinner, breakfast… Really, the possibilities are limited only to your imagination. I have … Continue reading
