The way the cookie crumbles

Posted by logan on November 4th, 2008

Election day is here, so if you haven’t already done so, go vote. You can find your local polling place with some easy help from Google.
One of my favorite election season traditions is the Presidential Cookie Poll by Cincinnati’s very own Busken Bakery. It began in 1984, and has continued with every Presidential Election […]

Not as ‘Grand’ as it seems

Posted by logan on October 24th, 2008

A true fatty at heart, it’s safe to say that many of my fond memories of my teenage years involved food. Before working at Tedesco’s Pizza, their number was in my memory dial. Spring and fall school days weren’t complete without a trip to Dairy Queen for a Snickers blizzard. And anytime I’d test the […]

I am not amused

Posted by logan on August 13th, 2008

A friend of ours recently invited us to join them and their kids on an outing to Six Flags Great America. Apparently, the secret hasn’t gotten out that the park isn’t terribly crowded on the Fourth of July and that the lines are pretty short of most of the rides. Until now.
I’ve never really been […]

Specialty cakes by Deb

Anyone who has lived within the limits of our school corporation has tasted the deliciousness that is what we’ve coined a specialty cake by Deb. Deb was your everyday Southeastern Indiana mom–a very nice mother of 2. Supportive of the pee-wee football league and Bobcat basketball. And to top it all […]

S.O.S.

I’m not sure how it happened, but our entire stockpile of Skyline Chili from our Easter visit has been depleted.
Didn’t buy enough? We thought for sure that 6 cans would do us until our next visit.
Gifting them? I may have shared a can or two with curious coworkers.
3-Way binge? Guilty as charged.
We’re down to 1 […]

Headin’ Out

Posted by liz on April 25th, 2008

I’m about to venture out of the house, fully showered and embracing the world, for the first time in ten whole days. Like make-up, perfume and my own clothes, instead of boxers shorts, gauze and a whole lotta stinky. Whoa. I think our 650 square feet are slowly closing in on me, and […]

The old college try

Posted by logan on March 12th, 2008

This past weekend was Liz’s school’s annual fund raising gala. As gala virgins, we decided it’d be best to arrive as part of an entourage. So Liz extended an invitation to some of her colleagues to converge in the confines of our cozy convertible apartment for a bit of pre-gaming festivities. We debated on what […]

Mint condition

Posted by logan on March 10th, 2008

On our weekend grocery trip to Dominick’s, I was distracted by a familiar and festive display of delicacies: Do-si-dos. Tagalongs. Samoas. Shortbread. Thin Mints. Typically, I’m hit up by a mom or two at the office to help their daughters meet their sales quotas. You’ve got to love that as a society we instill those […]

Just don’t make ‘em like they used to

Posted by logan on February 21st, 2008

Per the usual holiday standard, Liz was showered with gifts from her school children for Valentine’s Day. Which was a huge score for me. Skittles. Necco Conversation Hearts. Liz also received a few of the classic student-to-teacher gift of the Whitman’s chocolate sampler, showcasing Snoopy and other Peanuts on the outside of the little heart-shaped […]

Filet o Fat
