The Chick-fil-a First 100 at Fort Collins (with bonus blizzard!)

I’ve been wanting to do a Chick-fil-a grand opening for awhile now. For those not in the know, here’s the deal: Every time a new Chick-fil-a opens, the first 100 people there receive free chicken for a year. Or, more specifically, 52 coupons for a free #1 combo meal (which includes a chicken sandwich, waffle [...]

The Knish Was Delish And It Made Quite A Dish!

So I recently decided to make knishes, whereupon I vaguely followed this recipe. I say “vaguely” as, whenever something starts going not in an ideal direction when I’m making something, my brain flips into autopilot and I start grabbing random items and flinging them into the recipe until the food more closely resembles the [...]

Burbley Chocolate Pecan Pie

So I found myself just sitting around one day, trying to think a really efficient way to get as many calories into my stomach as possible. The answer was obvious: chocolate pecan pie. I am a sucker for chocolate pie of any variety, and it is nothing but a bonus to have pecans added to [...]

Delicious Papa Murphy’s Pizza

So one of the joys of moving is discovering brand new exciting places to eat. Sometimes they’re local restaurants, and other times they’re just chains that you’ve never been exposed to before. For example, it’s quite exciting that out here in Colorado, there are many more Mexican chain places then just Taco Bell (well, or [...]

How Not To Make Chocolate Zucchini Bread

So I had these zucchinis, see. And when one is in possession of zucchinis, there is often little else one can think about other then making a bread out of them. This is because zucchini bread is delicious. However, do you know what is even more delicious then zucchini bread? Chocolate zucchini bread.
So I plowed [...]

Delicious Bacon Sushi! (Part 2)

So a little while ago, I applied for a part-time position as a sushi apprentice. Or, more specifically, a sushi apprentice at a sushi bar in a giant nightclub in a giant stone church. Talk about the best job ever. Well, best job ever for someone else, as I did not get the position. Hooray [...]

Delicious Bacon Sushi! (Part 1)

I came up with the idea of making bacon sushi a little while back, and once the idea was there, I could not get it out of my mind. It seemed like such a fabulous idea. How convenient that bacon was on sale at Safeway recently (2 for 1 packs of Jimmy Dean!). We got [...]

Sushi Made With Canned Tuna Fish

So I’ve got two conflicting factors in my life right now: 1.) I love sushi, and 2.) I am underemployed. The latter means that, in order to make really awesome sushi with the sort of fishes I really like, I’d need to spend more money then I feel comfortable spending on a regular basis. Thus, [...]

Biscuits and sausages and tuna, or, The joys of depending on others

So Drew and I recently made a cross-country drive in a moving truck from Richmond to Denver. Prior that, we had flown back to Richmond for the weekend to get said truck. Meaning that for about 2.5 days, we were without either a home or a car. This also meant that (when we weren’t eating [...]

Green Smoothies With Boba Are Good For The Soul

As I’ve recently returned from a rather long drive across some rather long states, it’s been a rather long time since my last post. So, to compensate for that break in posting, I will give you a rather tacky image.

Green is a glorious color for a smoothie to be. This particular smoothie is comprised primarily [...]
