Whatever Wednesday: Freshen Up
What do we most need for winter and cold and flu season? Vodka. Yup, vodka. The cheapest rotgut vodka you can buy, in the largest quantity you can buy, and you can deodorize your furniture, carpets, curtains, freshen up your air, and even sanitize your hands.

Miraculous ALLERGEN-FRIENDLY Fried Cheez Nuggets
When Denise and I sat down to discuss things we needed to learn to make, things we could not longer eat “normal” versions of, one of the things that popped to the top of the list was what my college roommate called “bar food” — fried foods that tasted great and had little or no…
