Awesome Things in Food

by · April 28th, 2011 · 2 Comments

No matter how connected you think you are, something is going to get by you.  Today when I read about a blog that is 75% through a 1,000-day chronicle of mundane things that are secretly awesome, I felt like I missed the boat.  But at least I am on board now.  Looking back over the [...]

Eating Styles: Celery Edition!

by · April 28th, 2011 · 4 Comments

After a few Thursdays of gastronomically-taxing Eating Styles (hot dogs, pizza, and hamburgers), I figured it was time to refresh and renew with a crunchy, calorie-annihilating vegetable: celery!

It’s Thursday again, which means it’s time for another Eating Styles post! This week, you must pause, look deep within, and ask yourself…how do I eat my cupcakes? Now I know that pie is the new cupcake, and people are getting sick of cupcakes, and Eick hates cupcakes. But even though cupcakes are the “overplayed” [...]

Domino’s Offers 4/20 Groupon Deal

by · April 20th, 2011 · 2 Comments
