So also in the process of cleaning up recently, I found this package of Blueberry muffin mix, which interestingly only requires water, and more interestingly doesn’t have blueberries. (I don’t know how I ended up w/ this) Of course I was interested to see what this was then and spent the ’3 minutes’ to make [...]

A while back I had bought at whole foods a package of fresh potato and cheese pierogi, one of my favorite dishes, a staple of polish peasant cooking.

So been pretty busy here in Columbus recently, as I have my journal note due and I’ve been working on that, also I’ve adopted a 2 year old dog (shepperd, lab, boxer mix) named Sophie, so she’s been taking up the rest of the time. Of course that hasn’t stopped me from hearing about Cheney [...]

Interesting blog post about on demand Super Bowl coverage, that was a condensed game, edited for time and apparently also for controversial calls.
