There has been some speculation, throughout the years, that drinking booze can lead to intoxication, or even alcoholism. Because of this, Russia has finally decided to officially declare beer an alcoholic beverage as a means of keeping their citizens from turning into full-blown boozehounds. Like us Americans. I mean they didn't say it was because of us, but it's a good bet.
January 3, 2013 There has been a lot of talk about the deal for the ‘fiscal cliff,’ but it looks like it will still impact Mainer’s budgets and the cost of food will continue to be up for the new year.
January 2, 2013 Working different hours than most people kind of messes with your time to eat. I normally try to eat a decent sized lunch or dinner just before I go to work and then eat again when I get home. It’s usually around 9 pm 9:30 pm when I get home.

December 28, 2012 There are only a few days left until New Years Eve. What are your plans? I know mine. It is the one night a year I can get away with acting like a 21 year old within reason. In past years we’ve enjoyed a small party with our neighbors. The furthest anyone had to go after is next door.

December 27, 2012 If you want a most excellent ham salad sandwich, you have to start with a good ham. Canned Spam won't cut it. If you have leftover ham from Christmas, that would be perfect. Now, my sure fire recipe that'll keep 'em comin' back for more.
Christmas culinary traditions differ from nation to nation, but you'd probably be hard-pressed to find one more surprising than the one in Japan. On December 25th, residents of the island nation line up to buy buckets of KFC for their yuletide celebrations.
Imagine everything you normally eat for Christmas dinner — turkey, sausages, potatoes, stuffing, vegetables, pudding (!)…everything. Now imagine all of it coated in batter and deep-fried until crispy on the outside

Starbucks coffee chain has become an American institution among caffeine junkies, mid-day speed freaks, and daily-grinders alike. It only makes sense that they'd start catering to booze hounds at cocktail hour, eventually. Us. We mean us.
