[Paranormal Portland] Don’t Get Shanghaied
If you ever find yourself in Portland, here are two suggested tours – Beyond Bizarre and Underground Portland. The first was Beyond Bizarre. First, for my own memory, I have to say our guide Jacob had a Jack Black vibe. He kinda looked like him crossed with the dude from that game show “Street Smarts.” […]
Griddle Me This
Don’t tell anyone, but I think there’s something better than the basic Foreman Grill for those who are novice cooks or those who want a quick and healthy meal.It’s called the Cuisinart Griddler. I first laid my eyes on this gem at a New Year’s Eve get-together. The Griddler is great for hamburgers, chicken and […]
Check Out the K-Cup on This
I’ve never been much of a coffee drinker But when some geniuses decide to make things easier, faster, and cheaper to do, how can you turn it down? You can’t! These are the reasons I love my Keurig. You just plug it in, turn it on, fill the reservoir with water and press a button. […]
[12] Rollercoast-errr
In some ways, I think my siblings’ love of torturing me was ingrained in their DNA through dear old Dad. My dad is a real ham (more on that in a future post), but he could also be a real jerk. Thanks to him, “amusement” parks have a different meaning to me. There’s no amusement. […]
My BFF in the Kitchen
This is my best friend: KitchenAid KSMArtisan Series 5-Quart Mixer in Metallic Chrome. From the moment I laid eyes on her, I knew we’d be inseparable. It all started when I was perusing a catalog at work on things I could redeem my points for a job well done on. I had heard of KitchenAid […]
[Sip on This] Contigo with Me
Sometimes I have those mornings where I need a steaming cup of Joe to get me through the day. I wanted something that would arrive at work the same way it left my home: HOT! After much searching, I crossed paths with the Contigo AUTOSEAL Stainless Steel Travel Mug. I can proudly say it is […]
[Delicious Desserts] Bundt There’s More!
When birthdays come around at the office, I tend to look for something other than the ordinary store-bought (and usually yucky) cake. I went to some of the fancier cakeries, and once I heard the price, I swear my credit cards jumped out of my wallet and ran away from me. So, I went to […]
[Donut Touch] Let’s Go Krazy
After going into Krazy Eddie’s Donuts, this might as well be written on my tombstone: I’VE DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN! One day I was looking for donuts on Yelp (when I used that crappy service) and I noticed the great reviews this place was getting. I pass by it quite often on my way to work, […]
[Shameless Plugs] That’s What Friends and Family are For
If you stumble on my blog and can only read ONE entry, then read this one. Since my friends and family have put up with me for 0-30+years, I owe them big. So, here I am plugging their businesses. And away I go! 1. The Grill (San Diego — Sorrento Valley): Open for lunch M-F. Daily specials […]
[Getting an Earful] Podcasts Rule Because Radio is Dead
What is a podcast? It’s many things, but to me, it’s this: Bullshit-free entertainment. Let’s face it: Modern music is not music. It’s man-made, like the types of shoes I don’t buy. I’ve listened to talk radio for as long as I can remember. Why do I like it? Yeah, probably to escape loneliness, but also to […]
