Since it’s so hard to increase the number of readers on this here blog, I will be taking an easier route and will just try to increase the weight of my existing visitors. Once again I’d like to bring to your attention a golden opportunity to fatten up on a free McDonald’s Southern Style Biscuit [...]

And the Dove Came in to Him….

Most religions start with some kind of revelation. Some guy while walking in the woods finds golden plates, next thing you know, two scmucks are knocking on your door asking strange questions. An old man walks to the top of the mountain, comes down with a couple of stone tablets, next thing you know I [...]

Ukrainian Gourmet: Smoked Salo
August 6th, 2008 · 6 Comments
WARNING: This post is not kosher on any day of the year.
My imaginary friend Moxie Mama wants to celebrate her 1/4 Ukrainian heritage by eating what real Ukrainians eat. Well, that’s real simple and no cooking required to boot. Ukrainian National Food is salo which is non-rendered pork fat. There is nothing like a thick [...]

I cherished our moments together when we met for a drink and a conversation. Then I had to open my big mouth… Needless to say that our short-lived friendship is now a [...]

Ode to Trader Joe’s
May 26th, 2008 · 7 Comments
On the way back from the weekend trip to St.Louis I composed this piece of fine poetry:

Please clear up this mess
So I can have my choco-fix
And also save on gas!

Dis-carted

Today while shopping at Costco I stepped away (for a second) from my cart loaded with apparently highly-desired goods and some asshole stole my cart. In exchange said asshole left me their cart with a box of cookies and a pack of Clorox Wipes. Obviously I am a much better shopper and my stuff was [...]
Local Russian Store Featured in the Star

This article in the Star (found via TKC) describes Mike Hendricks’s visit to the Russian store “European Delights” previously mentioned by me here. While I am sure the store owner is delighted to have some free advertisement, I’d like to point out that:
The store owner Ed may not be able to discuss finer details of [...]
