Later today I’ll post the new Fast Food Friday installment as well as bring you pictures of my home made bacon!  YEAH BACON!

Hope your day is going better than mine so far

So from last week’s previews, I got all excited about this week’s episode.  I mean, Penn & Teller, I love those guys!!  But it all just ended up being no so exciting. It wasn’t a bad episode, just blah… [Read more →]

Believe it or not, I wasn’t looking for bacon things today…I was looking for something fun for Lil’ Baird who will be celebrating birthday number one soon.  The interwebs sort of moved me to SappyMooseTree.com and lo and behold…BACON!

Aren’t these great.  Happy plush bacon magnets to greet you each and every morning, noon and night!

But wait…there’s more… [Read more →]

It’s the first day of fall, so here in the Midwest thoughts move to cider mills, raking leaves, sweaters with shorts and hearty soups!!

To celebrate, today I bring you this recipe.  A recipe that “Cooking Light” magazine has declared their “best soup ever”.

I had a HUGE list of things I had to get done today, so I’m late with your regularly scheduled video.  Sorry about that.

From “Grumpier Old Men“…

Have a great weekend.

or as Better Half and I called it when we were living in Peoria, Steak-N-Puke…

Now that’s not really fair.  To be honest Steak-N-Shake is a good little burger joint.  I’ve never had a bad burger there and they do make some kickin’ shakes.

If you are not familiar, Steak-N-Shake is a small Midwestern chain the stared in Normal, IL and now is headquartered in Indianapolis, IN.  They have 475 total restaurants, but the bulk of those are through Indiana, Illinois and Missouri.  In Michigan, there are only 17 locations.

For the bacon taste test, I decided on their Original Double Steakburger with cheese and bacon. That’s right, they are not called hamburgers at Steak-N-Shake.  No sir, they are Steakburgers.
