Unlike most families, our schoolyear began only this week. As a result, I have two Twinkies who are moping their way through life. Poor Twinks; I guess they assumed life could be lived without the knowledge of atoms, molecules and pythagorean theorems- they’re devastated. I keep trying to reassure them that their kindles won’t die…

Caribbean Grilled Chicken Wings
I’m currently trying to plan a trip to someone’s island in the middle of nowhere. What island? I have no earthly idea. But, I know I wanna be on it with my man, a “drank” in my hand, and sand all up in my business. Can you you give me tips or recommendations? I’ll pay…
DIY Mexican Spice Blend: Cinco de Mayo and Beyond!
Even as long-winded as I like to be, I can’t draw this one out…but, I’m gonna try!! I love DIY’ing my own spice blends. Do you remember how I’ve spoken about developing my Middle Eastern Spice Blend?

I love eating fatty, rich foods- preferably those which are encrusted in carb-heavy products and deep fried in its own fat….
Meat Spice Blend
I’m notoriously cheap. The thought of spending our hard-earned and hard-saved- for money on things I can easily make at home is enough to make me cringe. And while I probably don’t save hundreds of dollars on my DIY spice blends, I do save some. Add to that the peace of mind that unpronounceable ingredients…
Butter Chicken
We shouldn’t ever complain about paying more money to eat ethnic food. Know that when I say, “We,” I’m really talking about me. No, we shouldn’t complain. Well, unless it’s food from Antarctica- I can’t imagine they have sophisticated cuisine (I’m totally going to get reamed for that, aren’t I?). I have been wrong…
