  • Random Appetites: What’s for Dinner?

    That’s got to be one of the most hated questions ever (right up there with the 10th ‘why’ from a child), right? Even if you’re only asking yourself. When I was first married I had the brilliant idea to comb through my cookbooks each week, pick out recipes for supper and make out my grocery…

  • Rounding Out Year 2

    Wow… only a month left of the second year of Random Acts… It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long! On deck for April is my take on that 25 Things meme that’s been going around the webbernets for a while. I was tagged at least once on Facebook and decided it might be fun…

  • Random Appetites: The 2-Bite Rule

    I feel almost certain I’ve mentioned this once before, but it relates to recent events so maybe it’s worth going over once more. Passed hors d’oevres or buffet foods should not exceed 2 bites-worth when ample table seating is not available. This past Friday Todd and I attended the Florida Wine Festival. The event was…

  • Random Appetites: Slainte!

    Happy St Patrick’s Day, folks! The day where even if you’re not Irish, you are! When you think Irish food, most people think of corned beef and cabbage. Did you know, though, that this is only eaten in 2 counties (Dublin and Cork) and more a modern association at that? Be that as  it may,…

  • Random Appetites: Sources of Inspiration

    While some people are true wizards in the kitchen, throwing random ingredients together and, more times than not, ending up with food that is edible and yummy. But even those people–most of ’em, I’m convinced–had to start off with training wheels: a few good cookbooks. Now, I can do my fair share of positive-outcome experiments…

  • Podcasts, Store Page and Biscuits, oh my!

    So, a few things from the “state of the comic” report this Monday: While at MegaCon, the charming JT Shea of NightGig Studios and The Gigcast interviewed little ol’ me and that 3 minutes and 29 seconds can be found on the latest episode (#183) of the The Gigcast, right here. Oh, look, up there,…

  • Random Appetites: Pasta-rific

    A recent Italian dinner reminded me of the following anecdote: On one of many blind dates in my younger years I was taken to a chain restuarant infamous for servings various types of pasta from a variety of different cultures. Basically, you chose your style and then among a choice of actual pastas, depending on…

  • News From the Con, Day 3

    With the Con wrapped up and my merchandise in the car waiting for the ride home tomorrow, only time will tell if this trip will actually “pay out” or not. The proof will be in my stats–will I see more steady traffic to the sites? Yes or no, I made some people smile, others laugh,…
