Gag gifts are supposed to be fun. Okay, so maybe some of them also make you gag a bit. Loosen up! It’s all in good fun. (I almost said good, clean fun. Not always, as you’ll see.)

It’s amazing how the Internet can distract you these days. With my wife’s birthday only a couple weeks away, I began to search for the ideal gift. Before you know it, I’m looking at bar & wine tools. And what comes up on the first page of such a search? A Wine Rack, of course. [...] Read more »

The weekends were made for grilling, of course. Every Real Man knows that. Now that my package of replacement grill parts arrived Saturday morning, I’m set to produce some Industrial Strength cookout goodies! First, though, I

Hurricane Alex made landfall overnight, and we got some rain. Much-needed rain, and we’re grateful. We’re also grateful that our rain chances are going down for the weekend.

The hurricane’s almost here! Don’t shut down your grills on that account, though; just get a big ol’ hat and keep going. Texans don’t stop doing the Important Stuff just because some big blow’s in the area. (We’ve survived Obama pretty well so far, in fact. But I digress.) Besides, there are other uses for [...] Read more »

The weather reports this morning look fairly grim for the Texas-Mexico coast. Alex could be a major hurricane at landfall, which now appears most likely in northern Mexico near Brownsville sometime early Thursday. Given the area coverage of the rain from this cyclone, we should get Very Wet in the coming few days. In the [...] Read more »

Tropical Storm Alex, the first of the 2010 Atlantic season, is churning its way across the Yucatan Peninsula today. Everybody knows what that means, right? Yep, you got it in one: Time to Grill!
Texans need excuses to grill, you see. And impending wind and rain sounds like a good enough excuse to me! I’m grilling [...] Read more »

I spent plenty of time in Singapore over the years, and I always enjoyed touring the food hawkers’ areas. My favorites were Tiong Bahru Market, Bukit Timah, Chomp Chomp Food Centre, People’s Park, and Lau Pa Sat. I never made it to Glutton’s Square, although the place is still legendary on the island and with [...] Read more »
