Wherein we explore the wonders of chicken and waffles, kindling crackers, LED headlamps, and AI-generated images…and more!
Random Thursday: The Not-About-Me Edition
Baseball stats, hop water, Ray Wylie Hubbard, unrhymable words. Are you seeing a pattern here? If so, perhaps you’re imbibing too much.
San Antonio Travelogue

Random Thursday: The Last 1 of ’21
Well, hello there. Did you miss me? (Don’t answer that. It’s a long story, almost as long as the time since I last posted something here.)

I promised him a report, and… Continue reading Beer By The Bay 2021: A Strange Trip

And I realized that the Gazette’s Food & Drink category was more lacking in nutrients than a Fletcher’s corn dog at… Continue reading COVID Cooking: Chile Rellenos
