I talk to crackers
No, I am not making a racist statement, I really talk to crackers. You know, crackers, the kind you eat.
My taste buds must be warped. I like to blame it on the chemotherapy I did 14 years ago. After Chemo my taste for some things was changed. Beer taste terrible, unless it is a dark beer, I hardly use mustard preferring mayonnaise on most sandwiches, and I clearly remember not liking mayonnaise most of my life.
Now comes the crackers… Cheez It brand started making different flavors of their crackers. I quickly became addicted to the BBQ flavor crackers. Perfect for [...]
Reader Redesign: All Fired Up
When Christy sent us pics of her amazing backyard transformation we were super inspired/jealous. Here’s her letter: Our backyard before was mostly dirt, grass & weeds with an existing in ground pool & spa. But as soon as we saw some clearance dry stacking stones from Lowe’s we knew we could spruce things up pretty cheaply. We also ended up finding some pavers on clearance at Lowe’s too and plants on clearance at Target so it sort of snowballed from one thing to another and before we kn

Where Is Mercury Morris?
Troy Brown uses ESPN’s ColdPizzaFirstTake monstrocity to share his feelings on the differences between the 2007 Patriots (18-1) and the 2008 Titans (10-0 and growing). As the Titans keep on winning, taking aim at a perfect regular season and beyond, just where is the media circus that followed the Patriots in the Year of Our Lord two-thousand and seven? So Troy cites a smaller fan/media interest in Tennessee’s market as one reason why the hype has not been built to Patriots 2007 levels. Plus

Cooking for a New Baby
Our next-door neighbors and good friends had their second daughter earlier this week. I thought it would be nice to bring over some food since I can imagine cooking is low on the priority list at the moment. The timing happened to work perfectly since they were coming home from the hospital on Friday and we were off from work that day. We woke up early and got busy in the kitchen making mac & cheese: ... meatballs and sauce: ... and pulled pork with SP's famous BBQ sauce: Just look at how
Operation BBQ for Our Troops
The humble joy of gratitude has gone sour. While we cannot but be moved by the pig and chicken's sincere expression of thanks, we are nevertheless queasy. For doesn't their attitude make needless the sacrifice that inspired it? If you were a soldier braving enemy fire, toiling to protect the rights of American "food" animals, only to see those same animals thank you by tossing themselves onto the coals, how would you respond? Perhaps you would say something like, "Hey, pal! That means I pr
The Fullness of a Hungry Heart
Last week my porch turned into a cornucopia. Or a landing spot for manna. Or some type of hasty food bank, or magical snack bar, or restaurant counter where the platters cue up under heat lamps. (Here I feel like there should be a specific word for what it’s called when food appears on your porch. There isn’t. I know because I Googled it and mostly found listings detailing Bruce Springsteen’s appearance at a food bank in the Twin Cities. But I don’t know what any of that has to do with my porch
Downtown, 1864
Here's a fun project for you. March into Porky's, the BBQ place on Gurley, buy yourself a sandwich and a beverage and seat yourself in front of the huge map of old, old Prescott. Pick your favorite street corner and compare what's there today with roughly 150 years ago. Gurley and Cortez appear to have been the major business streets at that time. For some reason the map maker chose to play down Montezuma; was it Whiskey Row back then or not? Granite Creek, from Gurley to the big bend. Farms a
Thinking I May Need Glasses
Thumbing thru the catalogs that seem to multiply overnight in my mailbox and I ran across the weirdest gift I'd ever seen. From Crate and Barrel....Meatloaf Diffuser. WTF?? Huh? Who wants their bathroom/bedroom smelling like meatloaf? Then I take a second look...and it says Mistletoe Diffuser . Ah. Ok. Guess that makes sense. Altho if it had been a BBQ Diffuser? I woulda bought it in a heartbeat!

A Great Day to Be an Intern
My fellow intern, Calvin Harris, has just received word that his mother is officially a breast cancer survivor. Since receiving word, he has bolted out of the office to go celebrate with his mom. We wish Calvin and his mom the best of luck and couldn’t be happier about her clean bill of health. This is even better than the day when we got free BBQ at lunch.
The Devil is in the Tape
A good friend of mine has confirmed, via psychic messages, that the devil himself, Lucifer, is actively short selling the market to zero. This makes sense, since “The Turkey Gods” have been found dead, near an orange dumpster, with all of their feathers plucked out. There’s no need for me to give you financial advice, at the present. We’re in Armageddon trading; every man for himself—son. However, I am willing to “opine” on a few matters, to borrow a phrase from a great man on Fox news. I wou

on a roll with the bullets
I might as well just keep this bullet theme going today too, but let’s be random shall we? I just wasted half my morning on Facebook joining a bunch of blog networks. Do you have a blog network too? Are we even friends yet?? I’m embarrassed to admit I don’t have very many Facebook friends. I haven’t exactly tried very hard, and I mostly friend other bloggers. So are you gonna friend me or what? It freaks me out a little to have a lot of people from my real life and my past checking out my bl
Is it ok that I think the "Mr Sprigg's BBQ" jingle is better than most R&B out right now?

Party Time at Miss Pearl's: Steel Drums + Jell-O Shots
One of the more buzzworthy restaurant openings of the last quarter is Miss Pearl's Jam House, housed in the JDV-operated Waterfront Hotel in Oakland's Jack London Square -- one of the most recent restos to be Touched By Joey Altman. Will this swanky, Caribbean-themed spot pass muster among serious foodies? By most accounts, no, but it is going to be a d*mn dependable spot for kitschy good times, fun cocktail occasions, some tasty bites, and sunny waterfront brunch. I hoppe
