Jawing with ChatGPT
I got the very stupid idea (like That’s a first) to see if ChatGPT could figure out the joke behind Jaws White Wine. It gave it a 93 rating. ChatGPT has absolutely no taste.

Goodbye to a Local Market
I don’t shop at nice grocery stores with bright lights clean floors and matching uniforms. Nope. The stores I go to are old and cruddy looking. These stores are going, and they’re not coming back. I believe that if we all make just a little effort to shop at our favorite shores, we can make…

An Apple Syrup Each Day…..
So, for some reason I had some leftover, cheap, apple juice. You know, the stuff that is in the store for about $5 a metric hecta-liter that you give to kids so that you can peel them off the ceiling later? Or, just spitballing here, you can make both a cocktail and dessert topping.

What’s Wrong with Thursday?
I went into a Starbucks and they had signs posted “Friday Love”. Apparently, Starbucks only loves its customers 1 day a week.

Feed Gisele Bundchen

LarryLand Bean and Kale Soup

This bread recipe is a mock-sourdough – go ahead, mock it! The lemon juice and olives add a nice tart taste. I assume you know how to…

Going Dutch (Coffee, that is)
Recently a new Dutch Bros Coffee kiosk opened in a parking lot near LarryLand. As we learned in my article Half Baked (See Half-Baked ), I am the king of non-committal coffee drinks. So, there was much excitement in the kingdom; we were committed to trying it. Is it the ‘Bucks or the ‘Bros?

Fall Into Cocktails
According to the news, Fall officially starts in August, when Starbucks releases its Pumpkin Spice Latte. I actually came up with these drink recipes last winter, and waited until actual fall (yes, it is officially fall now), to post them up. And these have one big advantage over Starbucks – these have booze.

Days and Confused
I’m at our local seafood store, smiling and chatting with the sales clerk. I’ve been going to this store for over 20 years, and she’s been there as long as I can remember (which, coincidentally, was probably last Monday). Over those years, she’s been very nice and professional. I’ve been me. I’m pretty sure that,…
