The extra B is for BYOBB!
I tried not to be a pig, really I did. I “grilled” some spice-rubbed pork chops last night and served them up with some naan and hummus because I was just too lazy to create a “full” meal. Even so,...

I didn’t know there was a pairs event, too!
As much as I don’t care for most commercials, I have been catching more of them, or at least hearing more of them when I watch live tv since I’ve gotten up to go to another room. My main beef...
coupons: Step yo’ game up
After having to demand my receipt yesterday morning, this morning the cashier made sure to grab it, add this new stamp to it, and then hand it to me. I don’t know if people simply weren’t aware of the promotion...

Is it bad that during the final battle scene in Kung Fu Panda between Po and Tai Lung, all I could hear in my head was the song “The Glow” from The Last Dragon? “No… I am THE fat panda!”...
Jesse Jackson shouldn’t cut things off…
