Cooking Fever (App Notes/Commentary)
My son is a huge fan of the #game app "Cooking Fever" even though he's not quite old enough to handle it. It's a fast paced game to some degree, and if you keep the customers waiting too long for their #food, they'll get angry & walk away. It even to

What's on Your Travel Itinerary?
In the #Travel section of the #NewYorkTimes for Oct 25, 2015, editors chose to shine the spotlight on #Africa. Uh oh! It looks like two of my previous #FOPP posts (below) could use some additional details or explanation. It turns out that in Durban, #South

Perfect turkey every time

The Look You Get When The Cat Food Bowl Is Empty

Review: El Sabor Casero -- Mexican Restaurant

What Goes In A Farmer's Pie
Tonight, in celebration of the fact that we were home for supper, or perhaps in commiseration of the fact that we weren't still in Pensacola to have supper with 2LT Son1, my wife baked a Farmer's Pie. I don't know if any of y'all have heard of Farmer's Pie

What has happened to McDonalds food?
