It was unseasonably warm for Halloween, but that was okay. I was outdoors to help bury a friend. Andy Rupf passed away at the age of 40 and there we were, standing around where his ashes were to be interred: saddened, confused, maybe a little angry, alone even in a crowd. As the preacher raised […]

Wednesday Top Chef: Restaurant Wars & BoBo Restaurant
Yes, I am posting this after the ep is over, but I haven’t watched. I am really looking forward to it when I get a chance to watch it in a few minutes. Until then, know that my Fantasy Top Chef knockout pool selection was Mike I. See you soon! —- Okay, here’s the scores. It […]
Cook With Your Kids: Tacos
So I am playing around with different features here on the blog. Since I am the proud father of WellDone, Jr. and because my friend Carissa asked, I really got inspired to start thinking about ways I can get the kids into the kitchen. Now, to me, cooking in the kitchen with kids means two […]
Where Life Meets Lunch: My Secret Affair
I am a married man, but I have a second love. If you know me, then you may have guessed what this illicit love is. Hopefully, you’ll keep this little secret to yourself because I am going to go out on a limb and tell you. I love food. I love everything about food. The […]
Where Life Meets Lunch: Restaurants, the Economy, and Permanence
I know, Where Life Meets Lunch is my Sunday series, but BlogWellDone, Jr. had a surprise for all of us when he invited himself down to see Grandma WellDone which in turn necessitated that I drive an hour each way for a quick dinner.

Where Life Meets Lunch: Mother’s Day
Mom…Happy Mother’s Day, even though I don’t think you read this blog, nor am I terribly sure you know what a blog is exactly. Today, we’re going to celebrate the fact that 30 years ago (give or take a day or so) you, in a rush of horrible puns, gave birth to a strappling young […]
Where Life Meets Lunch: Comfort Foods (Ride for Family Homelessness Day 12)
Okay, so I admit it. I missed a day. I messed up. I was at a convention and I just missed a post. So in order to make up for it, I will write the post I missed yesterday and do another post on Dancing Deer baked goods. Hopefully that will make things right. With […]
Where Life Meets Lunch: Ride for Family Homelessness Day 5
I know I’ve been talking a lot about Dancing Deer’s CEO Trish Karter’s ride from Atlanta to Boston over the past week and I will continue to do so for a while longer because I vowed to post about it once for every day she’s on the road. That includes these little vignettes I call Where […]
