    Lunch, Anybody?

    She's from the MidWest. Her parents were in town. Very religious people. Very political people. People for whom there is no separation of church and state. Seafood was "exotic". Fish sticks from the frozen aisle. That's what she bought. I'm looking at it. The box says, "minced fish"...

    November. My first tomato harvest. With sardines from Costco.

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot review

    This pair is over a decade old. Still in regular rotation. I wear them. 1000 Mile Montgomery. A model which isn't made anymore.

    Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

    Unfortunately, some of those cost cutting measures are across the board. Many brands are doing it. Some of those cost savings are not so good. Some are debatable. A lot of higher priced shoes are now using synthetic shoe lasting boards to replace leather insoles. Not a good thing. They...

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot review

    I am impressed. These are good boots if you don't mind the Ram trucks logo and tag which declares that it is officially licensed by Fiat Chrysler. In my world, nobody will see or notice that logo. Leather lined with a half sock liner. Gusseted tongue. Horween leather. And an additional $30...

    Lunch, Anybody?

    Here in Chinatown, my default protein is Tri Tip. 500 degree Fahrenheit oven. 5 minutes per pound. Then turn the oven off. Works for every cut of beef.

    Another pair with bad leather, damaged welts and broken stitches. Keep it and wear it until it falls apart? Or send it back?

    Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

    Weston Kay is entertaining. Just pay attention to what is really going on. He could sing the praises of shoes which he makes money on. Synthetic parts such as foam and rubber could be garbage on one shoe, and built for comfort and cost savings on another shoe. Remember that on some shoes...

    Lunch, Anybody?

    The division of the haves and have nots. In developing countries, protein is often of lesser grade. Like eating an old hen which is no longer capable of laying eggs. Or a water buffalo which falls dead. In more privileged conditions, such as here in The USA, we raise cattle strictly for...

    In Asian cultures, eggs are steamed.

    In her culture, they eat water buffalo. It makes sense. When the water buffalo finally drops from old age and being overworked...... they eat it. I guess if you use enough spices, and boil it long enough, you won't notice that it's not very good. Beef cattle is a foreign concept to her...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    There was a boy being raised by a single mother. They moved around a lot. He had a hard time fitting in and making friends. This older man enters his life. He begins to spend more and more of his time with this older gentleman. The man is giving him clothes to wear. Taking him for long...

    Beef and instant noodle. It's not just me.

    Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

    And because I am an idiot, who can't resist a bargain, I bought another pair.

    Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

    The time came to replace my old Dr. Martens. I am a creature of habit. I was just going to buy another pair. But instead, I bought these. Similar style. Soft lug soles feel good on the pavement. Pricing was close enough. Allegedly, these are built better. The Dr. Martens lasted for...

    "So you're making this roast beef, for your ramen?" Yes. That's what I do. Cook a roast beef, for instant noodles.

    Resole Shoes

    When you're young, you just don't listen. My Dad told me, "don't buy cheap shoes". But he never told me why. It took me a lifetime to learn that lesson. Decades ago, I found some cold weather shoes that I really liked. Lug sole pattern for traction. Every step was cushioned. And it had...
