I was driving in my minty van the other week and got hungry. It wasn’t the run of the mill hungries but it was the kind of hungry that makes you look at everything and want to stop. I saw a burger place and slowed down and then sped up as I got to the entrance. Nope, that …

Pandemic Noodles and Petty Thoughts
I’ve discovered something amazing about my ability to write blogposts. It isn’t really a gigantic lightbulb moment, it is something little I’ve known for years. It is actually something that would be kind of obvious to most folks but for some reason it has taken me by surprise. I can’t write with disruptions. I can handle a little …
Udon Noodle…Um, Not a Noodle…Udon Stir-Fry
New Flash. March is National Noodle Month!!!! Did you know that? Do you need an excuse to eat more noodles? I don’t. I was all excited to write this awesome blog on Udon Noodles and then I got corrected that “technically” Udon Noodles aren’t noodles. This is where the food world is confusing to me. …
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 …

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 …
Cutting your Noodle and other Chinese New Year Taboos
Do you have a favorite holiday? Are you all about the festivities of Christmas or do you prefer a Labor Day barbeque? Do you doodle hearts in anticipation of Valentine’s Day or are you more of a Halloween pumpkin and skulls person? Maybe it is all of the above because you just enjoy a good …
The Punishments and Rewards of Cooking Dinner
How do you get things done? Do you just do it? Are you a procrastinator? What is your motivation? I recently have figured out that I can get just about anything done if I offer myself a reward. It makes me feel better, kind of like getting a smiley face sticker on homework or a …
How To Use Your Noodle During a Zombie Attack
Do you remember when elementary schools would host haunted houses? They would turn off all of the lights in the gym or one of the classrooms and fill it with mazes of incredibly frightening things. There would be monsters that would jump out of boxes and spiders would drop from the ceiling. There were always …
