I used to drink Pepsi, regular sugar-filled Pepsi, all the time; from the time I was a young child to my 30's. Then I became more health conscious and began drinking diet sodas. In this way I've been a typical American consumer
It's just about wild turkey hunting time in the Tri-State, and just like the lyrics that are sung in "Chevy Van," by Sammy Johns, "...and that's all right with me!" Sorry, but I don't like wild turkeys. They are, in my mind, just like deer - a nuisance. They wander around aimlessly with no real purpose, running onto rural roadways and causing automobile accidents. They spread ticks and lice, too. So, I say, let the hunting games begin!
It turned into a sticky situation and I'm glad it didn't happen in Evansville. About 25 tons of peanut butter that was okay for anyone to eat was purposefully dumped into a landfill in Clovis, New Mexico. Why? That's a little complicated.
March 28, 2014 I just saw this on Facebook. The new restaurant, Azzip Pizza on Pearl Drive in Evansville is now offering something that only a westsider will "get" -- the Westsider.
The ingredients are what makes it truly local. Marx BBQ sauce, crushed grippos and a ski reduction. Whew, it's like an Evansville v
All of my adult life, money has never been plentiful. When Jenny and I got married, we decided that even if money was short, we wouldn't skimp on quality food to eat. In other words, we would eat healthy foods even if we had to spend a little more money to get them, and to do that, we would sacrifice in other areas, if need be. It's always been important to us to eat nutritionally-packed foods, as opposed to getting by on cheaper but not-so-healthy foods. So if you want healthy nutrition on a cheaper budget, try these (relatively) inexpensive "superfoods."
March 28, 2014 It's Friday, it's a beautiful day - you know Buffalo Wild Wings sounds like a good choice anyway. Now it sounds even better because eating there today will help raise money for a great local charity - the Boys and Girls Club of Evansville.
Yesterday, I posted a video blog about my not-so-famous "flick of the wrist" way to open bananas. So today I thought that I would pass along to you a banana bread recipe, just in can you ever have left over bananas that are turning brown, soft and squishy. Here's a recipe that Jenny uses to make yummy banana bread. Try it!
Springtime is here and we're all bound to feel a little bit better because of it, but there are other things that can affect our mood and we may not realize it. I'm not referring to how your spouse or coworkers are treating you, I'm referring to more covert things that can affect your mood, such as what you eat.
Saturday night, Jenny prepared this hot dip that has a little different flavor to it and it's one you might enjoy. It's perfect with crackers or tortilla chips (my preference), it's easy to make, and I especially like the melted cheese with the spinach.
My family and I, along with many families I know, have had family fun at Walther's Golf and Fun on First Avenue on many occasions. Walther's features 36 holes of miniature golf, a lighted driving range, a laser tag arena (my kids love this!), party rooms and they offer food service. Did you know that this popular place is built over a city trash dump? Bob Walther has leased the land from the city for 37 years and now his lease is about to expire. He want to lease the land for another 50 years, but will the city allow him to do that?
