Most people are aware that lasagna is made with lasagna noodles. The noodles give the dish its name. Lasagna noodles make lasagna and fettuccine noodles are used for fettuccine alfredo. I understand this. However, within the last couple of months I have made my own version of lasagna. Basically, I have removed the noodles and … Continue reading Lasagna?
Traveling a Distance
This past weekend I traveled a few hours each way to visit family. When I got back, I had some chores to do. This rush to try to get my chores done (such as laundry) before work tomorrow reminded me of the concept of a long drive or trip. To me, a four or five … Continue reading Traveling a Distance
Listening to your Body
As we get older, our bodies get more opinionated about food. Our sense of flavors and favorites expand and change. Unfortunately, the rest of our bodies also develop a distinctive opinion of certain foods. A lot of people know what I am referring to. This often is found with lactose intolerance or perhaps a strong … Continue reading Listening to your Body
Grocery Store Rearranging
I think that sometimes nothing is more annoying than when your regular grocery is rearranged. Mainly when you are shopping and want to be done as soon as possible to ensure that you don't overspend. This past weekend, I went shopping and the grocery store is still rearranging the produce section. They were doing this … Continue reading Grocery Store Rearranging
Old Recipe Books and Lost Restaurants

Part 2 to Motivation to Cook
Last week I wrote about taking advantage of ambition. This week is more about how you may have very little ambition but somehow get food made anyway. This post is probably not going to be as long as the last one but a continuation none the less. In that post I mentioned how I found … Continue reading Part 2 to Motivation to Cook
Motivation to Cook
Getting the motivation to cook can be very hard. It isn't easy to gather the ambition or energy after getting off of work to cook. Sometimes even the basics can be overwhelming after a long day.

Warm Weather and Cold Foods
Last week, I figured out that it is getting around to the time of year where cooking is not very fun, at least in the oven. I made a quick casserole, just mixed a bunch a stuff together. It was hot in the house afterwards. I am fully aware that not all of the US … Continue reading Warm Weather and Cold Foods
Greener Pasture Jobs
People generally have a dream job of some kind. Or they see a job and think about how cool that job would be. I think we have a tendency to idealize other jobs and dismiss the one we have. A bit of "the grass is greener on the other side". This post won't be too … Continue reading Greener Pasture Jobs
