    Yeah, I’m a bit late to this, but I just finished up with my October photos.

  • Thunderbird Chicken Scratch

    Thunderbird Chicken Scratch

    Last time I was in Florida my mom took me to a specialty BBQ store, Just Grillin, off of Dale Mabry in Carrollwood. I didn’t know such places existed. I thought everyone just bought their grills at a hardware store, Amazon, or direct from the company. It was a pretty great to be able to…

    Back in May I came across an article on Boing Boing Titled “You Don’t Have a Moral Obligation to Cook“: I have found myself frustrated with Michael Pollan lately. In the course of promoting his new book about cooking, he’s taken to spouting some opinions that I’ll frankly call claptrap. He’s mocked women who felt…
