“Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle.” –Jon Snow to Arya Stark before parting ways Game of Thrones spoilers ahead. All the spoilers. Show. Book. Inner-most thoughts of GRRM. Maybe not that part. But run away now if you don’t want to know things. If you’re a fan, the fact has not escaped you…
I’m not one to do cute weekday-themed meals every week. Meatless Monday, Taco Tuesday… it all seems great in theory but I’m just not that dedicated. It’s more like Cereal and String Cheese Monday and Shit, Did I Eat Dinner Tuesday. In an effort to be, not only cute, but a semi-responsible adult, I’m fixing…

Sometimes I get a little touchy about a subject and I let it come through in my writing. This is one of those times. I write a column for DrinkingCraft.com which is much less punchy than what you read here. This week’s may have had a tiny bit of punch to it. I created a…
St. Patrick’s Day is upon us, friends. Many of you start drinking and celebrating a month in advance. I don’t get SUPER into the holiday, I’ll admit it. But I do love cooking for it. It’s such a great opportunity to pull out new ingredients and flavors that you don’t usually take the chance to…
