Buster Gets a Trim
Last week I looked at Buster and quickly came to the conclusion that Homeboy needed a haircut. I mean look at him he looks like a Muppet. There are two things that Buster absolutely hates and that is baths and haircuts. But I will admit that I love giving them to him, because he is such a butthead it's like my own little twisted revenge. At first he thought I was sitting on the floor to play with him and got all excited.....until I pulled the clippers out. Then suddenly his whole demeanor changed. He was pouting and sulking like ...
Buttercrunch Toffee
I scream, you scream, we all scream for.....toffee? Mmmmm toooffeeee! *in best Homer Simpson impersonation* The idea to make toffee came to me while I was watching tv. Have you seen that commercial for LegalZoom.com, where a lady says her mom made the best toffee and she decided to incorporate a toffee company? See you can find inspiration anywhere even in a commercial on making your own legal documents online....weird. As I sat there watching the commercial I suddenly was overcome with this incredible desire for toffee. I hadn't had toffee for years and I could have just run out to the store ...
Chillo en Escabeche (Red Snapper in Escabeche Sauce)
When I was in my first year of college in Puerto Rico, I was usually done with classes by noon. After English Lit my friends and I would sometimes pile up into our cars and head out to the beach in Luquillo. We would first make a stop at the kiosks that lined the street in front of the beach for lunch. They have a huge variety of fresh food, deep fried goodies and fresh fish at prices that were friendly enough for the college poor. One of the things I loved and still to this day was anything in escabeche ...
Dink’s Pit Bar-B-Que
Cue old Western music..... Saturday Obed and I saddled the horses and decided to head north for some pit bar-b-que. We traveled down a long and winding road to reach our final destination. It was a two day trip where we battled bandits and outlaws, but we finally reached our destination safe and sound. It was a long and treacherous trip, but it was all in the name of bar-b-que and I believe that is reason enough to risk your life. Is it not? Ok so we didn't saddle horses.....heck I wouldn't have the first clue to how to saddle a horse. ...
Ensalada de Camarones (Shrimp Salad)
Ahahahahahaha! Today when I woke up my buns where burning and I am not talking about some baked good I put in the oven, I am talking about my own personal buns. No, it's not because I sat in a batch of hot jamaican peppers it's because I did a new class yesterday at the gym and it kicked my butt. I felt the burnnnnnn. It was an awesome class and one of the instructors was a trip. He was from Texas, loud, buff, about 50 years old, in blue and white spandex and with a personality that would barely ...

Everyone Needs Their Beauty Sleep
Buster and I were discussing the other day how hard we both work and if you don’t take care of yourself it can take a toll on you. He was telling me how tired he gets chasing after squirrels, barking at the kids skateboarding in front of our house and nosing through the trash in the bathroom. He agreed that it is very important to get plenty... [Read more of this review]

A Fella of Opportunity
Last night I had to fold some clothes fresh out of the dryer. I dumped them on the bed and walked away to get some hangers. When I came back this is what I found. Do you see this? Can’t see? Let’s take a closer look. Buster takes advantage of opportunity and I can’t blame him. It was a cold day and he made himself a bed in... [Read more of this review]
Really? Seriously?
You have have one of those days? A day that if something went right it would not fall into the status quo of your day. Several years back when I was still a singleton living by myself in a small studio apartment with a puppy that chewed on my shoes and carpet, chaos, disorganization and general madness was the status quo in my life. It... [Read more of this review]
