Stuff unrelated to food, wine & spirits that I just feel like posting.
It was lonely on the ‘net that night. Back from vacation and mi compadre Kevin Hopp and I had planned out another evening video “competition”. Our two previous stabs at this had gone well – we both had fun cooking, we had a few folk join us to chat, and this time there was even… Read More Top-Master-Chopped-Iron-Chef #3
Enroute from Louisville to Washington DC – I was trying to both divide the long trip, about 9 hours, into two parts, and also give us a day of down time to just enjoy some of the natural beauty in the stretch of country between the two. It’s a part of the U.S. I’ve not… Read More Country Roads
Our trip continued with a long drive from north of Chicago to just north of Louisville and my parents’ home, where Henry and I stayed for a couple of days.

(49) So the first spot (at least that’s open during the day, I still have to decide what I’m going… Read More 92 Bus, Stops 49 – 53

I found that 100 paces worked out to just around a block or slightly more, which made… Read More And I would walk 500 miles 100 paces
Ding, Ding, Ding! It’s on to Round Two of the great TMCIC challenge! (Somebody please come up with a better name for this thing.) For those who missed it all last time, the gist of it all is that a friend of mine, Kevin Hopp, and I, take on a sort of “invention test” with… Read More Top-Master-Chopped-Iron-Chef #2
