houston zoo, you’re dead to me.

this looks so yummy. i want to try this. y’know… since i have all this free time this semester.

It's the 15th of February and as promised, today is the post about HOMEMADE BACON. As you all may have read in my previous post, here, I am participating in Charcutepalooza – a year long project focusing on the art of charcuterie. So far the experience has been both educational and fun. Making charcuterie is a challenge for me – a completely new field of cooking that I never knew much about. The fact that dry curing, one of the oldest methods of … Read More

hahahahahahahaha this blog post has everything–a steel magnolias reference, webster’s dictionary, pronunciation, southern drawls and kim zolciak

ok the kim zolciak one was a stretch but it’s hilarious the way nene says it.

I’ve never been particularly drawly, even less so having lived outside the South for lo these last 16 years. However, my Dixie tends to slip out around midnight, when I’m too tired (tarred) to add a “g” to the end of every word. You’ll also hear a drawl if I’ve had one drink too many (or maybe that’s just a slur). And if you … Read More

this girl is hilarious.

Initial contact summary: Hey, we should meet. Yes, we should. Silence, extended for a month or so. Ditto for second contact summary including silence, extended. Third contact (unabridged) Observe the dates. Prior to sending this message, I thought that either this dude will find this hi-larious or he'll be pissed. Either way, I shall have some sort of conclusive decision. At this point, my dear friend "J" un-friended me on the book-o'-face and su … Read More

“…but it bothers me to think my future wife would play the role of my mother. My girlfriend knows, I hate to be babied– and her trying to take care of me when I’m sick is like pulling teeth. That is just one of my personal issues! The real question is: to what degree do we expect our significant others to relate to us as if they were our mothers?”

written by Swag Fellas. Do you treat your mom different from the way you treat other women? Do you treat your significant other the same way you treated your mom? Are you the type of guy to deem some woman wholesome and others uhhh…not so wholesome. Eh, well me too. Makes sense right? Everybody shouldn't be wined and dined unless they are deserving of such a gesture. Some people you respect the same way you respect your mother. Your wife deserv … Read More

and this is why i haven’t missed my facebook.

…so far.

To everyone who wished me a happy birthday on Monday on my Facebook profile, thank you. But it wasn’t really my birthday. Before you work up a sweat, please allow me to explain. I am getting so tired of this over-reliance on Facebook to keep people up to date with everything happening in their peers’ lives that I wanted to see just how many people would realise that they had already wished me a happy birthday this year, on my real birthday months … Read More

I’ve parked in the Red lot, and am riding the shuttle to the U.S. Airways concourse at the Columbus Airport. Despite my “no small talk on public transportation” rule, I’m somehow chatting wholeheartedly with what turns out to be the loveliest couple. He’s warm and animated. She’s soft spoken and sweet. They took the same shuttle yesterday, hoping to fly to LA for her brother’s funeral. But then Delta delayed the flight “indefinitely,” and when th … Read More

equality please, thanks.

Back in October, I went to the March for Equality in Washington, DC. One of my favorite things about the march was seeing all the different signs people made. Some were fierce. Some were funny. Some were just plain silly. Most spoke the truth, however they chose to angle it. I started writing this post months ago … Read More
