Post #200 and Another Burger At Our Place
Post #200 and another burger at our place… how frickin unexpected that is. I am truly loving a good burgy at the mo’. As is Jen, and so are the kids. There’s something about it… and I’m not just referring to the fact that you can have an actual good meal, nay, a great meal…

The Hotdog
So I am cleaning out the big freezer at work and I have come across a pack of cocktail franks. A present left by a previous chef who was going to revolutionize the world of pub food with a battered sav hotdog. I wish I was joking but the fact of the matter is, I…
