In the food world, few dishes have the versatility that pies do. Yes, crepes are similarly used in multiple meals around the world. Yes, burritos are now commonplace in the morning. But a pie? With its roots stretching as far back as ancient Egypt and Greece? Nothing has been more adaptable. This is for good... Continue Reading →
This week marks the beginning of my blog miniseries on story types! Every other post for the next few months will be focusing on one of Orson Scott Card’s story types that he outlined so well in Reader’s Digest nearly a decade ago. He’s a well established sci-fi writer who was made famous by his... Continue Reading →
Candice here, taking over for the week! Okay, so while this feature was not necessarily enjoyed in the ambiance of an exquisite restaurant or cafe, we thought we would take a moment to share it on the blog because it looked just too picture perfect. Fine...maybe I thought this maybe a tad more than Chris...... Continue Reading →
Ahhh, Rejection. Such a negative word. So negative that we devise many ways throughout life to not say it, even more ways to not feel it. "It's not you, it's me."

Just talking about that truck sends the infamous overplayed tune through our heads, but it could get us to bolt outside when younger (and maybe even as adults...) every time!... Continue Reading →
A large part of my life now is food. It's definitely one of the top priorities every day in our household. We eat healthy, as healthy as two people who can in the midst of raising a child under one year's old. I make good use of the BBQ while my wife, Candice, has about... Continue Reading →
In the early 2000's, I was one of those 'CD Case' kind of guys. It resided in my car, and was loaded front to back with all manner of music too embarrassing these days to describe now. If I were to travel back in time, I'd hit up the nearest Virgin Records, HMV, or Sam... Continue Reading →
