So, yesterday was the Super Bowl . . . and while it was a modest affair, I see the Super Bowl as the “last hurrah” of the holiday eating. Yeah, I try to be “good” and eat “clean” all year — but, well, I really fucking like food. I think about sex food all the… Continue reading Where I seek out to make crispy chicken drumsticks

Where I chronicle an exceptionally busy day
My alarm goes off at 5am. Yesterday, however, my day started just before 4am. Benji was outside, barking. Duffy went downstairs to bring him back in — but, after he came in, there was still noise being made, because Pip, our lovely cat, was caterwauling. Duffy came upstairs as the loud meows continued. “She’s stuck… Continue reading Where I chronicle an exceptionally busy day
Where I try to get all fancy with my lunches
Yes, the title is “Daddy Runs a Lot,” but I don’t run all that much, to be honest with you. When I do run, it’s typically for long distances, and I enjoy running — but, I don’t run like I once used to (I just don’t have enough time). I do try to keep myself… Continue reading Where I try to get all fancy with my lunches
Where I share some of my favorite crockpot recipes
Fridays are good days at casa de batzer. First off, it’s the end of the work week . . . I, typically, need to work very early in the morning every Sunday, so I have the ability to take time off Friday afternoon to compensate (meaning extra gym time). This is Duffy‘s full day at… Continue reading Where I share some of my favorite crockpot recipes
Where I pull out the crock pot to make dinner (and talk about boobs, of course)
Life has been crazy lately. I get to work, and spend all of my time, um, working1 and then I head onto symphony, or band, or home . . . and you know, finding time to blog when you’re just in constant motion2 is really freaking difficult. Also really freaking difficult? Finding time to make… Continue reading Where I pull out the crock pot to make dinner (and talk about boobs, of course)

And, of course, I was intrigued, because, well, I like food, and she was including some of my favorites.

Where I reveal my peanut butter bread recipe
I got the bread machine for a wedding present. I actually had registered for one . . . see, I really, really love sandwiches, and a bread machine enables really yummy bread for the sandwiches. The problem, of course, is that I can’t think “gee, I’d like some bread right now” and then poof have… Continue reading Where I reveal my peanut butter bread recipe
Where I share my favorite black-bean burger recipe
I recently switched from “mostly vegetarian1” to not. However, I still eat a shitton of veggies . . . they’re, honestly, my favorite food. If I have a choice to snack on sliced bell pepper or chips? I’m actually going to choose the bell pepper. You may hate me for this. It’s ok. Sandwiches have… Continue reading Where I share my favorite black-bean burger recipe
Where I experiment with mayonnaise
This isn’t the first time that spinach dip has lead to a change in the way I live my life. However, normally, the change that spinach dip leads to is me going to buy larger pants. Anyway, I wanted spinach dip1 and started looking for the ingredients to make it. Alas, I had no spinach.… Continue reading Where I experiment with mayonnaise
