Another winning dinner combo. Will also win when done separately! Beef for roasting – from prime rib that will be amazingly good and expensive to any cut you get. Marinade in a ziplock bag overnight in the fridge or at least for a couple of hours: 1 bottle of beer. Any will do, dark lager is … Read more

I’ve been a Sears customer for many many years. I even liked them, especially for tools. Now let me tell you how this all changed a hundred and eighty degrees.

This is a comment I posted to this article: “Small businesses: Obama worse than Lehman collapse” I live in north east NJ.

Jesse Eisenberg is doing his nerdish act in an excellent way, Emma Stone is doing … Read more
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. CwaCoMB. Based on a book with the same name, the movie is simply fun to watch. Yes, the animation is nice, detailss are great, From Flint’s father’s face to Sam Spark’s pants, it is all done great, but the real charm of this movie is the humor. It is … Read more
