Dude, you never emailed that explanation! For years, we thought you might be extremely bipolar or something, generally being a mild mannered great poster but sporadically capable of extreme vandalism (over the past ten years I...

the past few days, we decided to skip dessert for once and walk home. That evening I woke up feeling sick at about 2:30 in the morning. Nauseated, I thought, I must have had too much to drink today, so I drank some water and went...

Sounds like these vegetarians ARE being good hosts by making sure their omnivore guests don’t miss out on any holiday traditions. I’ve made the same offer to my guests in the past and it was not intended as a...

back on the meal the memory grows fonder and fonder. There was a sort of refreshing honesty about the meal and the food, and seeing past the michelin-star-mentality, the service was warm and welcoming. And the sourdough was some...

Oh, please. My husband is a working chef and we couldn’t eat out for the first 3 years of our daughter’s life cuz she was such a monster. Our older kid was an angel and still is an daring eater. The girl is better,...

Boy, these are GREAT! I’ve been cutting and pasting like crazy. MPH – the search function was/is my friend, but so are you – your list of taco stands is fantastic! The problem with what I’ve found searching...

of something six times more than something else. Say, you’re going down the highway at 55. Someone flies past you at six times your current speed. That guy would be going 330 MPH. The best hitter in baseball hits 46 HR in a...
