When I got out of bed today, the temperature was in the single digits.  When it’s bitterly cold outside, do you know what I’m instantly hungry for?  It’s not soup, or chili, or stew… nope, it’s fresh from the oven, homemade cookies.  Via Neatorama, Suburban Food For Thought passes along a delicious link to Gourmet Magazine’s top cookie of the year.  Actually, the link is to the top cookies of the year from 1940-now.  That’s a lot of cookies!

You know the thing I love most about the internet?  It’s the easy access to everything from videos of cats riding Roombas to haunted houses.  If you want to make KFC cole slaw or the world’s best bourbon balls, hit the internet.  It’s a search away.  Thanks to the web even I can look like a great cook, and I’m secretly a mediocre to bad chef.

I guess it’s not a secret anymore.  I mean, I’m great on the grill and I can make some great barbeque ribs without assistance from the web, but those fixin’s and desserts always give me trouble.  I think it’s time I get back in the kitchen and get to work on my cookie-fu.  Since there are a lot of cookies that require alcohol, it’s a good excuse to replenish my bar, too!

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
