The Sunday Food Thread shambles indifferently into the kitchen, stares blankly at the pastel cabinets and raises a hand to the refrigerator door handle. The first tug is barely enough to budge the door, with a little more force a … Continue reading Sunday Food Thread Lethargy 6/24

The “Is it a sandwich” debate is fun and has its place, but that place isn’t here today, if it’s a sandwich to you it’s fair game to talk about it here.  Sandwiches come in all shapes and sizes and … Continue reading Have a Sandwich! Food Thread 6/17

Had a rough day at work today, any time I’m in on my day off is a rough one but this one was particularly unpleasant. Decided to take a trip to the thrift store for a little ‘reward’ time and … Continue reading Sunday Food Thread Has the Shakes! 6/10

Yesterday was Kentucky Derby Day. Anyone have a Derby Party, or actually go? Mint Juleps and ostentatious hats were the only thing I really associated with the race but I figured there was more to it than liquor and headgear. … Continue reading Post-Derby Food Coma (or hangover) 5/6
