The mid-season premiere of The Walking Dead was last weekend, so our Walking Dead crew came over for a fun evening of BBQ ribs and yelling at the TV in both horror and joy.

With the recent updates of WordPress, my old theme design was ...

It's the size of a grapefruit, but it has a much sweeter, more floral flavor to it without the usual tart bitterness of a grapefruit. It also has a white flesh inside instead of pink or ...

I realized a few days ago that this was the first real break I've taken since I started this food blog in 2013, so it was probably long overdue. I didn't quite take a full break though. I was busy behind the scenes ...
