I’ve not been blogging much. I know, this makes Mike a bad blogger. Instead, I’ve been doing thing like working. Last weekend, Reggie and I had some friends over. Beth and Paul brought Buddy and Brutus to play with Reggie, and Sam brought Jeff, Murphy, and Duke. Our friends Dave and Rita came Pugless. We… Continue reading Weekend Plans

Still Sick
I’ve been sick for almost two weeks now. Normally, when I get sick, I’m sick and then it passes. This has lingered for way too long. Last Wednesday, I called my doctor’s office, and he called in a prescription for some cough syrup with codine. That helped a little, but I’m still not feeling quite… Continue reading Still Sick
Marinated Steak Tips
Yesterday, I went to the Hilltop Steak House Butcher Shop in Saugus to get some meat. I picked up a four pound bag of steak tips. About half of that went into the freezer. The other half got split between four plastic bags where they awaited their marinade. Tomato Basil A whole tomato a glug… Continue reading Marinated Steak Tips
Dear Martha Stewart

And every time I walk through, there is some item that I never knew I needed. Or if I knew I needed it, I thought I’d need some high-end name… Continue reading Dear Martha Stewart

As we got… Continue reading Pigs Eye Brunch

They were telling me about the “moose juice” they have, which is a pineapple infused vodka that’s supposed to be really good. I wasn’t impressed by the concept as they seemed to be. After all, it’s just… Continue reading Infusion
Adventures in Color
When I moved into my condo, I bought a loveseat that matched the one I already had. In addition, I bought a few slipcovers that go with the loveseats. The problem is that Ikea doesn’t offer them in many colors that suit my needs. So I had a few in a natural color. My goal… Continue reading Adventures in Color
Kitchen Toys… in Red
Is it weird or strange to cry over the death of someone you’ve never met? I mentioned on Reggie’s blog that Jayson Kilroy was killed by a driver under the influence. Worse yet, Jayson was on a bicycle. This really hit me in a weird way. He was fun to chat with online, yet I… Continue reading Kitchen Toys… in Red
