Grin and Bear It
The advantage of having a journalist in my immediate family is that we get “Breaking News”. For example, a major news network report this morning was about a black bear visiting a neighborhood. On the video from the owner, it (the bear, not the owner, although this outcome would not surprise us) is leaning up…

Larry Hits the Lotto
Something you should know about me: If you ask me a reasonable question, do not expect a reasonable answer. I simply CANNOT be trusted. For example – Whenever I go to a restaurant a polite, well-intentioned server typically asks this question: “Can I bring you anything else?” Almost always, I say “Money”. This is how…

Fun at the Library
So today I was accused of being a “copious NOT taker”. Let’s see….. that means that I’ve done a lot of nothing. Yep, that’s about right. Others and I have been participating in discussions about redesigning our local libraries. I asked if we could have a dinosaur. Really. A good book is a wonderful thing…

LarryLand Eggplant Parm
Here’s the thing about an eggplant parm. Eggplant gets very soggy very quickly. And most of the dishes I’ve had have the breadcrumbs fried but, again, that soggy thing makes them a bit gummy. So, I changed it up a bit – I fry the eggplant and top the dish with the breadcrumbs.

LarryLand All-Purpose Marinara
I’ve been making this for a VERY long time. Actually, I came up with this when my daughter was in 7th grade. They had a very nice teacher who had a kitchen class, and for a few years I would come in and do a demonstration (therefore, I was the Kitchen Class Clown). The thing…

Jurassic LarryLand

So, my idea is this: We hire Christopher Walken to attach those little Christmas Jingle Bell collars around…

Take That, Swifties!
My wife and I wanted to go to a local festival concert called the Ohana Festival. Actually, it was my Swiftie daughter who showed us the lineup, so “Foo Fighters on Me”. But after all the mayhem of the recent Swiftie dustup I had concerns. (Ticketmaster execs are in hiding in non-extradition countries; they are…

Car Wash Blues
So, we have determined that I am, in fact, the “Janitor of LarryLand”. BUT, my talents are not limited to simply janitorial services; No, I also am a cook, personal shopper, handyman and official car-washer as well. So, imagine my surprise when I got outside this morning to find my neighbor’s cars being washed professionally. …
