Gone Extinct

The shears! They were gone. And just when he needed them most. Torn awake by saber-tooth snarls, Klump tore apart his cave to search. Klump was a barber. He cut hair. Coarse hair. Dirty hair. Hair that snarled. Hair that caused itches and leaves and bugs. It sprouted from odd places – scalps, ears, armpits […]

Apple Bun Burger Unlocked

Munchies Score 0 Out of 100 Review: You can always cook a burger more, but you can never uncook it. So what do you do when you leave your meat on the heat a bit too long? When the juices dry up? When your guests arrive and ask for a medium-rare – but by the […]

Bacon Stuffed Dates Will Blow Your Mind

Munchies Score 0 Out of 100 Dates make me fart. Both kinds. When I’m out flirting (nerves), and when I’m in stuffing my face (fruit). Yet I still do both, however unsuccessfully. Afterall, it’s hard to make a girl laugh. And it’s hard to shove enough cheese into those tiny dates to offset their laxative […]

Vietnamese Spring Rolls – The Best Recipe For Leftovers!

Munchies Score 0 Out of 100 The menus of even top restaurants suffer from seasonal allergies. They snort and sneeze at the idea of hot chili in summer, the cool crunch of watermelon in winter. They treat turkey as an endangered species except in fall when the bird nests on every table in the dining […]

Potato Pizza Crust – A “Mash” Made in Heaven

Munchies Score 0 Out of 100 The kitchen produces more monstrosities than ever before; and therefore, more controversy. Among the hottest: gas-station sushi, decaf coffee, pizza crust alternatives. The last of which terrorizes self-proclaimed pizza police who insist that pies must contain dough, sauce and cheese… and according to the dictionary, this argument holds up. […]

Chia Seed Pudding – Easy Meal Prep Breakfast

Munchies Score 0 Out of 100 You wander into the grocery store, searching for a new breakfast snack, and stumble upon a bag of chia seeds. It looks like the stuff your neighbor puts in the bird feeder, and you recall stories of old folks eating cat food to save money. A glance at the […]

Grocery List

In and out. A motto for the amateur grocery shopper. Fill your basket and get out… but you know better. You know that an old lady will park her electric cart in the middle of the dairy aisle and freeze the motor with too much cheese. And while you turn around to leave, some dork […]

Beware the Booty

Dead men tell no tales – the pirates code. But when Rocco, first matey aboard the abominable “Seashell”, sunk to the bottom of the ocean, Davy Jones himself recorded the tragedy for all to read. A memoir from Davy Jones’ Locker: Rocco deserved better than to die. Aye, he committed a mutiny, and the price […]

Beauty or Beast

Hunger brought the beast to town. True love kept him there. After all, why else would he stay? The weather was miserable. Freezing cold winds bullied the slums, mindless, savage, breaking the hearts of man. Those with fortune escaped long ago, taking the bread, the laws, the laughter with them. Those who remained struggled to […]

Intolerant

I come from a small family of fourteen. Leaving food on the table was like abandoning it to the wolves (especially when Gramps wore his dentures). So, when my newest client waddled off to the bathroom during our lunch meeting, I snarfed his entire hotdog without a second thought. “Inspector! The hand soap stinks of […]

Abomidable Breath

Teeth like sticks of butter gave away my client, the abominable snowman, hiding behind a dead bush. I pretended not to notice and unloaded his monthly supply of ketchup from my sled and into the snow. Plonk! The heavy crates infatuated the beast, whose gaunt frame waddled out of the brambles. “Peekaboo! Did you bring […]

Bank Robber Bust

Eighty-seven years old. Fat. Decrepit. Good with a dustpan. I arranged these traits at the top of my resume and handed them to the bank manager. He took me on – security guard. I’ve worked the job three days and already want to quit. Not my fault, the position not as advertised. I expected to […]
