If Christopher Walken can make the Perfect Roasted Chicken....
Monday, 30 July 2007 7:10 A GMT-06
So I blame it all on Sandy. Ever since reading her post yesterday, I haven't been able to get the image of Christopher Walken as the host of a cooking show out of my mind. Come on, think about it! He has to be better than some of the current crop

Christopher Walken Cooks Chicken!
Sunday, 29 July 2007 3:06 P GMT-06
Sorry I can't embed the video here, but TMZ posted this morning an amusing - and I'm not quite sure why this made me laugh as much as it did - homemade video. Apparently, Mr. Walken harbors ambitions of hosting his own cooki
Savoring a series
Saturday, 28 July 2007 7:12 A GMT-06
A few weeks ago Rachel posted here in Quitting While You're Ahead about wishing she had stopped reading some series earlier than she had, as the series "tanked" for her. I've definitely had that same feeling, and have given up on a

Hey, I'm the customer!
Monday, 23 July 2007 2:41 P GMT-06
So, I go along for months, really, without a true customer service nightmare experience beyond, say, that surly cashier at CVS who has been the bane of the neighborhood for years now. But over the last few weeks, I've been treated to a few

Morning Rituals
Saturday, 21 July 2007 6:41 A GMT-06
I hate to get up early in the morning! If I had my way, I would never set my alarm (forget that, I wouldn't even own an alarm). I would simply wake up when I felt like it. Then, I'd have a servant deliver my caffeine of choice while I read in

So, I'm back from RWA and, even in my zombie-like state caused by the trip home from hell (do not ever fly AirTran and I'm only telling you this because I care about each and every one of you), I'm still sad from the news I heard from Ste

SIGNS THAT STRIKE TERROR
Sunday, 15 July 2007 7:23 P GMT-06
Normally I think of myself as a relatively good driver. I can handle big city driving with relatively few problems, and have even learned to master (somewhat) driving in the suburbs/small cities. However, this past week, I may have met my Waterloo.On
