Another Damn Food Blog

Shrimp Amends

Holy crap! I’m actually starting one of these before the Fooding. That’s not my usual workflow. Even though I want to plan ahead, almost everything I do for the site ends up being an afterthought. Why? Because social media has to come first. So annoying. There’s a reason Social Media...

Picadillo and the Past

Fresh out of cooking school, I started working in one of the kitchens of a large PC clone manufacturer in Austin. I say "one of the kitchens" because each facility had at least one cafeteria. The one where I learned the most was the main fabrication facility. The others were...

RenFaire Things and Chicken Wings

The Texas Renaissance Festival in Plantersville, Texas, opened its gates for the first time in 1974—50 years ago now. My own first visit was in 1977 when I was seven years old. Seven was a big year for me; a lot changed in my life, some of it for the...

Worst Food Blogger. Ever.

I'm honestly the worst food blogger ever. I rarely post recipes, and I’m not here to sell you stuff. Mostly, this blog is about what it's like to become a food blogger after burning out from years of relentless adulting. Now, that’s not to say I’m not doing food-related things...

Life after Burnout

I assume everyone’s burnout is different, personal. For me, it feels like my façade has worn away, leaving me with my raw, base self. That’s its own kind of challenge. It’s not always wise to be authentic in today’s world. But there’s a certain charm in it; sometimes not being...

Scrambled Eggs and the Isley Brothers

In yet another excuse to torture some innocent metaphors, while discussing egg cookery.

Unexpected Pork Pleasure

I hadn’t planned on making pork chops last night. I assumed I’d be cooking something seafood-related since she’s dieting again and doesn’t get tempted by fish. But halfway through our grocery run, she suggested pork chops for dinner.

The Hangover Thing

Once the mise en place was done, the Offspring was collected and we headed off to the Autumn Equinox festival at Saint Arnold’s brewery. The festival started at six, so we were going to grab dinner there first and then hit the festival which is exactly what we did.

The Five Stages of Energy Drinks

I’m a huge fan of Monster Ultra Peachy Keen. I love the artificial peach flavor, the fact that it’s only 10 calories, and, of course, all those ingredients that end in “ine.”

Just an update

Overall, the fried green tomatoes turned out fairly well. As mentioned in the video, the iron skillet was a mistake, at least in that context. I was using it on one of those portable induction burner things and apparently the induction bit is only about 6 inches in diameter, and...

Relax! It's just a blog.


It doesn't really need to be any more than that. Not really much point in playing with my food if I'm not going to document it. Makes, sense, right?


Mini Bio

minibiopic

I'm just some GenX burnout on the internet who cooks and thinks things. Sometimes I write things. Sometimes I drink. Sometimes I diet. Sometimes I time my flatulence for when unruly toddlers pass behind me at the store. A man my age needs hobbies.

If I'm honest, I'm not sexy enough for an OnlyFans site, no one wants that, so this is my big shot. If you want to know more, I've added an "About" section to the site. It's really douchy.

Cheers, ya'll.
