Freelance...

Fridays are for food - recipes and sharing of delectable and often diabolical foods. Being the only guy, surrounded by these talented and chef-like co-writers has stretched my ability to keep up. In fact, I am pretty sure I have posted the recipes of all 3-5 things I can cook without screwing them up, calling 911 or setting off the sprinklers. So... I am choosing to not post a recipe this week.

Instead, I will close out the week with some food thoughts...

• There is nothing closer to sin than dark chocolate and red wine. Don't believe me - try 70% dark chocolate with a glass of red zin... (yeah, you will thank me...)
• Want to calm the soul and make everyone in the house take a deep breath... bake a loaf of bread or throw a roast in a crock pot. Comfort food at it's best...
• Somedays, nothing beats a good pub burger and fries.
• Tuesdays were meant for tacos...
• An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
• Blueberry pancakes, ice cold milk, maple syrup.
• Eat your vegetables...
• Next time you pick up that can of soda, read the label. What the heck is sodium hexametaphosphate anyway?
• Always pay at the pump. Nice times out of ten, if you walk into a convenience store to pay for gas, you or your kids will walk out with foods that are bad for you. Seriously, when was the last time you grabbed a banana. It was either a Milky Way, M&M's, or some other form of processed chocolate.
• Never, ever go grocery shopping when hungry.
• Did I mention dark chocolate and wine?

Let me know your food thoughts....
