Number 49 on the list, handmade Coarse Liverwurst (Liver Sausage) from Kilgus Meats in Toledo, Ohio. I just eat the stuff by itself, no sandwich required. In December 2006 shortly after starting this blog over at the Monroe News web site, I fell victim to the whole “Foodie Quiz” thing and wrote one myself. Looking […]

An Unintentional Break
A more recent pic of the Ground Bologna Sandwich Spread, an image that’s also a little more appetizing than the other one. Someone’s said all that’s missing in this photo is topping the ground bologna with a fried egg. I’m thinking that’s good thinking. I know. It’s been three months. Three entire months since that […]
Seniors and Food
My parents at Genesys Medical Center, Grand Blanc, Michigan, in December 2008 during one of their last times together. Note: On June 15th, my kids lost their third grandparent since December. They’ve lost both my own parents and now their Grandpa Elijah, a week shy of his 91st birthday. My heart goes out to those […]
Holding Hands Again; The Snoring Has Stopped
My parents hold hands in October 2008 ago when we brought them together from different ends of the same hospital. My dad always said he appreciated mom’s rather intense snoring because, if that sound ever stopped, it meant she was gone. She still snored after he passed away this past December 29th. Her snoring stopped […]
Follow-Up to My Peeps Rant
Following my Peeps rant from the other day, the bin on the right was given to me by Mary and Briahna this morning. Fortunately, it was a joke Easter basket, filled with Peep bath toys, a Peeps coloring project, a 24-piece Peep puzzle for 4-year-olds, and a few pounds of the creatures themselves. Behind it […]
Many Thanks
My parents hold hands two months ago when we brought them together from different ends of the same hospital. My family and I would like to thank everyone for the continued notes on my father’s passing December 29th. We’ve still not had the funeral. Mary, Aaron and I were visiting mom today. She’s finally been […]
The Nosebleed from Hell, a Fart Broadsides My Heart: Yes, I Know Where My Towel Is
The following post is rather graphic in nature. If you don’t like talk of blood and such, please skip this one. Where’ve I been? Well, lemme tell ya’ … Sunday March 9th, I got up first thing in the morning and headed to the loo. Grabbing some toilet paper, I blew my nose. I am […]
Recipe: Whitefish-Stuffed Salmon
This picture is from June 2006 when I first developed this dish. The camera I used was an original circa 2000 Kodak DC3200, with its 1.2 megapixel CCD sensor and an additional 256M flash card. While the camera still works and is sitting right behind me, we’ve been using duct tape to keep the battery […]
On Food Blogging
One of the questions asked of me at the BlogsMonroe blogger’s picnic a couple weeks ago was where I get enough material to blog on an almost daily basis. I’m not sure what my answer was, only that, whatever it was, it was very non-committal. [… and that fulfills one of the goals for the […]
Morning Coffee
When Mary and I got together in 2004 one of the traditions we developed was Morning Coffee. Each and every day, including weekends, I’ll make coffee, now in the Cuisinart stainless Grind-and-Brew we got for our wedding reception in June 2005, and take it to her in bed. We’ll have this coffee while watching the […]
