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 19, 2013 A sigh of relief of sorts because April vacation is almost over. I kid, sort of. What a week. Redoing the kids’ rooms and we’re still on Justin’s, it’s the last of the three but all rooms were and are more work then anticipated.
April 17, 2013 My favorite part of a bowl or Froot Loops or Cocoa Pebbles was always drinking the great tasting milk once the cereal was gone. Now, you can get the same benefit without the pesky cereal!
April 15, 2013 ’Locavore’? Say what? It is like a local herbivore is a plant eater and a carnivore is a meat eater, a locavore is a local eater. Vermont was the top state in its commitment to growing and eating locally grown food, Maine was second.
April 13, 2013 One of mascots from our childhood is getting a makeover. The Kool-Aid Man soon will be transformed in a new series of commercials with a new personality and a new look.
April 12, 2013 Remember a few weeks ago on SNL the sketch comedy bit, 'Maine Justice?' This could be life imitating art a bit? In Lewiston there is a new restaurant called Mama's Cabaret opening that will serve alligator tail and crawdads. A little redneck south in Maine? The new restaurant will be on Park St. near Main right in Downtown Lewiston.
You should probably watch this video. Especially if you need something absurd to turn your day around. This is about as ridiculous as it gets. It's a man doing his impressions of how different animals eat their food.
