Okay, so Mother’s Day was coming up, and I really wanted to do something special for my mom. I mean, she does so much for all of us, right? I thought, what better way to show my appreciation than to cook her a fantastic dinner? First off, I started brainstorming some ideas. I flipped through some of my go-to cookbooks and scrolled through a bunch of food blogs online. I knew I wanted something that felt a little fancy but wasn’t too complicated that I’d end up stressed out in…

Okay, so, I recently got into this whole “Lincoln Reagan Dinner” thing, and let me tell you, it was quite the experience. It all started when I stumbled upon some info about these dinners online. I saw something about the “41st Annual” one and I was like, “Wow, that’s been going on for a while.” So, I dug a little deeper. Apparently, these dinners are a big deal for the Republican Party, you know, celebrating their achievements and all that jazz. They named it after Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan,…

Okay, so, I’ve been trying to cut down on the sugary drinks lately. You know, the usual suspects, like Coke and Sprite, those kinds of things. It’s not been easy, but I stumbled upon something that’s been a real game changer for me, and I just wanted to share my experience with you guys. I was at the grocery store the other day, just browsing the drinks aisle, and I saw this stuff called “The Switch.” It’s basically sparkling juice. I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” I grabbed…

Okay, guys, let’s talk about my latest project: a stone outdoor pet drinking fountain. I’ve got a couple of furry friends who love spending time outside, and I wanted to make sure they always had access to fresh water. Here’s how I did it: First off, I started by gathering all my materials. I had this big, flat stone in my backyard that I thought would make a perfect base. Then I needed a water pump, some tubing, a basin, and some smaller stones for decoration. I already had most…

Okay, so I was trying to solve this crossword puzzle in the LA Times the other day, and I got totally stumped. You know how it goes – some clues just click, and others, well, they just leave you scratching your head. This one clue was “seconds but for drinks” and man, it had me pulling my hair out. First, I tried to think of synonyms for “seconds” in the regular sense. You know, like “another portion” or “additional helping.” But that didn’t get me anywhere. None of those words…

Okay, here is my sharing about Sandra Romain’s piss drinking: Man, you won’t believe what I got into the other day. I decided to try something totally out there – piss drinking, and let me tell you, it was a wild ride from start to finish. I’d seen some stuff online about this Sandra Romain, who’s apparently big into this, and I figured, why not give it a shot? It all started with watching a bunch of videos of her. First off, I dug around online and found a ton…

Okay, so yesterday I decided it was time to get a new jacket, and you know what? I went for one of those “Cookies” jackets. Yeah, I heard about them, saw some folks wearing them, and thought, “Why not?” First thing, I started looking around online. Typed in “Cookies jacket” on the search engine and bam! Tons of options popped up. There were like, I don’t know, maybe 139 results? Prices were all over the place, some were around 38 bucks, others were 39, and it seemed like the price…

Okay, so I’ve been messing around with different flours lately, trying to find some good gluten-free options. I stumbled upon sorghum flour, also known as jowar flour, and thought, “Why not give it a shot?” It’s basically just ground-up whole grain sorghum, pretty simple stuff. The flour is light in color and has this really mild, almost unnoticeable taste. I started small, just subbing it in for regular flour in some basic recipes. First up, cookies! I used my go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe and swapped out the wheat flour…

Man, I was craving something sweet the other day, but I just couldn’t bring myself to go through the whole baking rigmarole. You know, preheating the oven, measuring out a million ingredients, ending up with a sink full of dishes… it’s a lot. Plus, I’m trying to be a little healthier and, well, you know, vegan. So, I went on a mission to find some lazy vegan desserts that I could whip up without a ton of effort. First, I started looking through my pantry. I had some chocolate, some…
