Someone at Kellogg's thought it would be a really good idea to make these:

No, this isn't a parody. This is a real product. I think that Gabe at Penny Arcade put it best:
I just spent the first three years of my sons life trying to get him not to eat blocks, and now you're telling […]

No, I don't mean that you make meals that could be served on Iron Chef or have the really fancy Electrolux induction cooktop, but that you're following proper food handling guidelines to make sure nobody picks up a bug. The Los Angeles County Department of Health has a quiz up so you can self-grade your […]

Remember last year's foray into growing strawberries? Remember the pathetic harvest that was barely even a pint? I think we're going to do better this year.

As Jesse mentioned previously, we just celebrated our third wedding anniversary. Three years ago, Jesse and I came to the mutual conclusion that what really matters is the marriage and not the wedding so we invited our parents (Tuesday) to join us for an extremely small and private ceremony (Saturday). Since then, I think we […]

Shauna and I spent the weekend in Las Vegas to celebrate our third anniversary (go us!) and had a blast. We stayed at the Venetian (A++ would stay again), ate at some awesome restaurants and saw these guys:

Holy. Crap. Why did we put off seeing this show for so long? I […]

I know, I know. It's been a really long time since we've let any of you in on the new food we've made. The dry spell ends tonight! Last night, we were tasked with bringing a dessert for dinner at a friend's house. Given that we didn't get this assignment until after we'd done the […]

I know, it's been like a month since I got back from the Great White North. That doesn't mean I can't share some good eats of Canada, right? It was really cold and gray up there in January. The temps were around 0F and I never once saw any kind of direct sunlight from all […]

The Midwest solidly earned its reputation for harsh winters. After just a few days in Iowa, I can see that Utahns have it rather easy. We usually don't have that kind of cold until mid-January and only for a few weeks. In Iowa, it's so cold that the snow turns almost directly to thick sheets […]

I decided to try my hand at making a roast chicken tonight. Yes, it's true: I had never really roasted a whole chicken before. I usually took the lazy route to buy one of those grocery store birds in the plastic packaging, but not tonight.
The chicken itself turned out really good. I used Alton Brown's […]
