Can’t forget dessert

No meal is complete without dessert …ok, maybe with the exception of breakfast but I’m not opposed to the idea. One evening I just wanted chocolate and was fortunate enough to stumble across a chocolate, chocolate cake on the hotel menu.  How can you go wrong with chocolate cake, chocolate frosting, chocolate drizzle and fresh [ READ MORE ]

An end to an era …

It is with great sadness that I write this post … This evening I went to Bob and Ron’s Fish Fry for dinner only to find that they have changed their fries, onion rings and fish fry.  Bob and Ron’s has been serving the Capital District for well over 50 years.  Ownership has changed over [ READ MORE ]

I made the best purchase of the year!  I know it’s early yet, only the 8th, but this is up there.  It’s the perfect meatloaf pan!  It has a rack that allows the fat to drip to the bottom of the pan and you can easily lift it out of the pan.  No fat drenched [ READ MORE ]

Week off …no work …

I’m into day 4 of my vacation and here’s what I’ve learned: 1.  I absolutely NEEDED the time off from work.  Sometimes you need to just step back and decompress. 2.   Cleaning one room shouldn’t take all day.  Ok, I didn’t start at 8:00 but I did end around 4:00, with some breaks here [ READ MORE ]

Year in review …

Here it is almost the end of 2011 and I haven’t written since 1/1/11.  I suck! I read my last post and here’s an update …I didn’t win the lottery!  No worries, there’s always next year (or the year after that).  No World Peace BUT Ron Artest officially changed his name to Metta World Peace, [ READ MORE ]
