Beth’s still in Kansas City, dealing with issues related to her father. So I’m home alone for another weekend. Tonight, after getting home I decided I wasn’t in the mood to go out for dinner by myself. But we didn’t have any leftovers or easy-to-prepare meals. So it turned out to be another bachelor meal.… Continue reading Friday night bachelor meal

my report from the official Barbecue Capital of Texas
I’m currently spending two weeks in Austin, Texas for my job. I decided to stay in town for the weekend, mainly to avoid the hours of travel back home just to turn around and spend hours to travel back to Austin. But I decided I might as well take advantage of the weekend. Here’s the… Continue reading my report from the official Barbecue Capital of Texas
Mexican Hot Dogs
For the love of all God and all that is holy, why has nobody told me about these Mexican hot dogs until just now? “The hot dogs are wrapped in bacon, grilled, then served with toppings like beans, guacamole and mayonnaise.” – United Tastes – Mexican vs. American Hot Dogs – NYTimes.com I think I… Continue reading Mexican Hot Dogs
Denver dining adventures
Can you believe that Beth has never been to Casa Bonita? I didn’t realize it until that little secret came out in conversation recently. We were on Colfax, as far west as she’s ever been. She turned to me, pointed to the mountains, and asked, “What’s down that way?” “Not much. Casa Bonita, and then… Continue reading Denver dining adventures

my birthday
Yesterday was my 40th birthday. Unfortunately, I had to work, and it was a depressing day at the office, especially for a Friday. But to counter it, I had an awesome birthday dinner party. About 18 or 20 of my friends and family joined me at Sushi Mara for a fine meal. We were there… Continue reading my birthday
how’s this for dinner?
Next week, I must return to Baton Rouge for my 6 week follow-up on my ear surgery. If I can work up sufficient appetite I plan to go out that evening to Brunet’s Cajun Restaurant and attempt to tackle…bom bom bom…the dreaded shrimp dinner. What’s included in the shrimp dinner, you ask? Well, here’s an… Continue reading how’s this for dinner?
Wednesday’s adventures

After getting ready for an afternoon of adventuring, we headed toward the north shore (of the Pontchartrain, of course). Our first stop was a bar and grill where we might have had lunch. … Continue reading Wednesday’s adventures
