In the coming months and even years, I’ll likely be telling more and more Grandpa Sammy stories.
It must’ve been sometime in the late 1980’s or early 90’s — My grandpa parked the car across the street from a 7-11. With my sister and I (us kids) waiting in the car, Sammy asked us if we [...]
Since late August I’ve been on a bit of a health and fitness kick. Honestly, it’s more than a “kick” at this point. It’s my fucking lifestyle.
Sure my diet isn’t perfect, and I don’t work out 3 hours every day, but I think if I stick pretty close to what I’ve been doing, and remain [...]
Wow. All within one day……
First I’m picking up pizza at this place in Van Nuys, CA. I look up at the menu in the place, and realize they don’t offer baked ziti. I ask the employee there, “Do you guys make baked ziti?” He looks at me as if I’m speaking a different language. “What’s [...]
It’s a tough economy out there. Unemployment levels are high, and money seems scarce for many.
It’s only a matter of time before those in the food and restaurant business have to start cutting costs.
According to Robert, a co-worker of mine, it’s only a matter of time before businesses stop purchasing both forks and spoons.
With sporks, [...]
You see 24 hour McDonalds. 24 hour Subways and Taco Bells. Why can’t I get Chinese food 24 hours a day? I bet health-wise that Chinese food is no better or worse for you than typical fast food.
I’m not talking Chinese food chains like PF Chang’s, but more along the lines of Panda Express stuff.
All [...]
Sounds appetizing, doesn’t it?”
Believe it or not, it exists on a real menu. Yammy Pizza, on the corner of Sunset/Highland offers an “LA S.M.O.G. Pizza.” (has sausage, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers). I guess that’s really smogp, but like I said, I’m just transcribing the menu.
If anyone knows me at all, they know all [...]
GRAPE BLOW POPS GET NO RESPECT.
It’s true, no matter who purchases a bag of Blow Pops, every single time the last few Blow Pops remaining are always the grape flavored ones. Why is this? They’re actually good. Independent of other flavored Blow Pops, should someone offer you a grape Blow Pop, you’d never turn it [...]
Growing up I think all of us had a friend with a pet named “Oreo.” Usually intended for a black and white cat or dog, it’s possible that even some black and white rodents were named Oreo. If you named your pet Oreo, but it wasn’t even black and white, then [...]
Sure the packaging on any microwavable food will always tell you cook for 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Cook for 4 minutes and 30 seconds. The times instructed always end in a zero, an even time.
Well ya know, people like food prepared differently, and all microwaves were not created equally.
Sometimes I put food in for [...]
I think I’ve decided that if I go to heaven, and there’s only one option for food that’d I’d be okay — as long as I get my choice. Same thing goes for down here. If I can only eat one meal for the rest of my life, I’d prefer it to be NY style [...]
