Every Friday, a group of my friends gather together at someone’s house to watch movies—and eat. Pretty much it’s a potluck dinner anytime we socialize with each other. Sometimes we seem to non-verbally coordinate very well and have a healthful spread fit for a king. Other times it’s not so good as it is desserts [...]
At the time it sounded like a good idea. Well, actually it didn’t. It was more of an okay idea which I decided to go along with. Little did I realize that by the end of the night it would prove to be a really horrible idea. After the meeting last night, a couple of [...]
I will say that I’m lovin’ the KFB exercise schedule, mainly because it mimics my old PCP schedule—Friday is the “end of the week” and therefore the easy workout day. This is perfect for me because Friday is the day that me and my friends gather for a potluck dinner and a movie of some [...]
Thankfully the day seven routine is pretty light. I spent most of the day shopping and touring the city of Pittsburgh, which included about four hours in the Heinz History Museum. It’s six floors of all sorts of interesting things, which translates into lots and lots of walking! I had planned pretty well on food [...]
I went out to dinner with a bunch of friends tonight after a business meeting. There were a total of ten of us in the party and, as we are wont to do, we asked for five separate checks. We do this all the time and the restaurant has no problem with it. The catch [...]

Of course, for the “health conscious” you can get the same item only with grilled chicken. This definitely falls under the “what the hell were they thinking” category. According to the [...]
We had our Peeps diorama competition today at work. When they first announced the challenge to us, my mind immediately went to one theme: to recreate the cover of the Beatles album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. I don’t know why, but the thought of “Sgt. Peepers” just sounded too funny to pass up. [...]
Today I wanted to try something different, something more challenging, something I had never done before. I saw this recipe and immediately knew that this was exactly what I was looking for! Soufflé au Chocolate from Julia Child’s book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. To be honest, I have never made a soufflé in [...]
I tried a new recipe today from Julia Child’s book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I kind of got on this kick to attempt some of her recipes after watching the movie Julie & Julia. The first recipe I attempted was Boeuf à la Bourguignonne for dinner on Christmas Day, mainly because that’s the [...]
