By Mike Thayer I’m a ham for Christmas dinner kind of guy, but it was just a party of one this year so I didn’t need a big ham for my Christmas meal.  Something less than 5 pounds did the trick, some ham for dinner and then the tasty leftovers to enjoy later. I don’t […]

It’s a great all purpose seasoning, does justice on a variety of meats and heck, it’s even good mixed with a little mayonnaise for a bologna sandwich.

By Mike Thayer It’s fall and all the stores where you like to buy shirts have no doubt put all their fall and winter shirt selections out on the floor.  You might be thinking it’s too late to pick up a couple of summer shirts, stores have packed those away in the back room, you’ll […]

By Mike Thayer I recently wrote about what to look forward to in 2019 from fast food.  Trending, are smokehouse/steakhouse style burgers and sandwiches and the meat of the year is predicted to be brisket. Chick-fil-A has a darn good sandwich that should be on everybody’s “I’ve got a craving for some smokehouse flavors and […]

By Mike Thayer In search of a healthier chip alternative, I recently did a review on a “cauliflower” chip.  While the chips I sampled were indeed tasty, they really weren’t any more or less healthy than any other kind of chip.
