May 31, 2013 Crazy to think it’s been two years since my youngest was born. Vikki came into the world at 3:16 pm on May 31, 2011. She has grown so much in the past 24 months. She started walking at about a year, talking at 18 months and dropped the pacifier habit without issue at 23 months. Her vocabulary has exploded in the past month or so as well.
The San Francisco Giants are selling sushi burritos — a concoction of tuna, rice and avocado swaddled inside a seaweed wrap — at AT&T Park this year. The team calls the item the 'SF Giants Roll,' but it's really a burrito made of
May 28, 2013 I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend and took out a bit of time to remember why we have it. Thank you all who served and serve for keeping us free.

May 12, 2013 Hope all moms and moms-to-be had a great Mother's day. Did you take Mom out to brunch? Dinner? I cooked Lynn, my wife and mother of my three wonderful children breakfast. Maybe better said, warmed up breakfast. I made cinnamon rolls from a tube, heat and serve sausage and brewed her a flavored coffee. She liked it!
We’ve all had those late-night “run for the border” cravings for a taco. But would you still be hungry if your taco was made out of . . . lion?
May 9, 2013 Normally my wonderful and talented wife cooks a meal before I go to work and when I get home, I either eat the leftovers if there are any or snack on or make something like Kraft Dinner or ramen noodles. Today I had to be at work earlier than normal for a meeting and to do some behind the scenes stuff. So I didn’t get my home-cooking this lunchtime.
April 24, 2013 GMO. It stands for genetically modified organisms. These are used to help genetically modify foods. DNA is added to the plants original DNA to add certain attributes. For example, it can make plants resistant to certain diseases or a longer shelf life. A hearing at the Maine state house had over 100 people come out to speak out for and against the bill to make it mandatory food retailers to label products containing genetically modified seeds or ingredients.
