The mystery of the “Oh Henry!” bar is over

I posted this to facebook just a few minutes ago: Dawn and I had never tasted an, “Oh Henry!” bar so we decided it was high time we did. Meh… tastes like a cheap version of Snickers. Shortly thereafter, someone commented asking if I had ever tried a Zero bar?  My response was, “Never – [...]

The family took a trip to Austin’s Park where we spent the day riding go-karts, playing laser tag, riding the bumper boats, eating pizza and pasta and of course, climbing the rock wall.

Recent trip to Corpus Christi

We took a last minute mini-vacation just before the kids go back to school.  Corpus Christi was the destination – we played on the beach, ate seafood & toured the USS Lexington.  It was a lot of fun and close enough that we will be going again.  

Finally! I have found the BEST CHICKEN FRIED STEAK!

Longtime friends know that there are two culinary treats I investigate every chance I get.  No matter where my travels take me, I test the local barbecue and chicken fried steak.   In my quest for the absolute best of each, I have found my Mecca for barbecue (I have a best for each of the [...]

Happy Mother’s Day!

Food, Inc.

Longtime readers know I am a fan of documentaries. I especially like learning about how “the man is keeping us down.” Food, Inc. is not only a great lesson in that but, as someone who has taken a lot of time to educate himself on our food supply, sure to be on my suggested “must [...]

Paleo Faileo

Okay, so I am not 100% on this Paleo Diet yet (see earlier post.) While I have done a good job when my wife is around, I tend to fall back into old patterns quickly without her to keep me honest. The major slip-up has been eating some potatoes (which are no-nos when trying to [...]

My tastebuds are changing – my tastebuds are changing!

Who would have believed it? None of my friends or family would have – that’s for sure. Since making the decision to tackle the Paleo Diet, I have not only convinced myself to start eating better – the food tastes different. I started on this journey because a client is asking me to help promote [...]
