Happy Pi Day! I must say it is an odd one to write about this year given it is a Pandemic Pi Year. I am in a tough spot of being sensitive to the issues of today but on the same note I think we all need a break from the serious banter. What has gotten …
Main Dish
Unpredictably Predictable Chili
Can something be predictably unpredictable or is it that some things are unpredictably predictable? I’m trying to decide if this is the way life is laid out. It seems like there are events in life that we go through and we kind of know what to expect but it isn’t always the same. There is always …
If Loving Carbonara is Wrong…I Don’t Wanna Be Right
There is one thing that writing Felt Like a Foodie has taught me over the years….no…it has nothing to do with food…..it has to do with the fact that I am wrong….a lot. Every time I start to think about a particular blog, I look up words for inspiration and to make sure I am …
Chicken Khao Soi (Small Town Version)
During our single digit days of winter, I had an obsession. It wasn’t anything too perverse or weird at least by my standards. It was something that made me excited about the new year and trying new things. (I can see how your mind is wandering.) I was preoccupied with following Steve Dolinsky’s Facebook and …
Snowstorms and Shopping Trips
There is a ritual in NW Indiana. It may not be limited to this area but it is definitely something I took notice of 19 years ago when I moved to the area. I am not sure if I would consider it a good practice or something I look forward to but I know it …
Squashing the Rumor That Chili is a Soup
Do you ever look at a menu’s specials of the day and want to scream? I don’t mean “literally” scream, more of a “you’ve got to be kidding me” scream. I’m hoping you say yes or I might need to start looking at anger management. (I’d trade spaghetti sauce for some good therapy.) I bring …
Inside-Out Vegetable Lasagna
When you hear the words “inside-out”, what do you think of? Do you think of the film where every emotion has a character? (If you haven’t seen the movie, it is cute.) Do you think about accidently wearing a piece of clothes the wrong way? (I went to the beach last week and put my …
Barb. Carb. LARB.
STOP THE PRESSES! STOP THE PRESSES! Wait….this is only on the internet….STOP TYPING….DON’T HIT ENTER….DON’T POST ANYTHING YET!! I’ve got HUGE news to report. After my last blog on sonnets, I received a huge response. (I thank all five of you who chose to reach out.) Besides being told I know nothing about poetry or …
Limp Noodles and Corporal Punishment OR Why I Shouldn’t Blog When I’m Tired
DISCLAIMER: NO HUMANS, DOGS, STUFFED MONKEYS OR CHILDREN WERE HARMED IN THE WRITING THIS BLOG. (With a disclaimer like that….you want to keep reading…right?) What do you do when you are tired? Do you curl up on the couch and watch TV? Maybe you check out of life with a book on a hammock in …
Philadelphia Dip Or My New Sandwish
Do you have an extra freezer? I do. I really love having the convenience of buying things on sale or bulkier items and have a place to put them. The problem is that they can be overwhelming at times. I looked in mine the other day and just had so many thoughts go through my …
