Real Life Birth Control

I don't know why they don't teach this real life birth control in schools, but I promise if they explain to kids of having-sex-for-the-first-time age that this is the shit you'll have to deal with in another 11-15 years they probably will abstain or at least make sure they actually use birth control. Nothing is worse that waking up, turning on the coffee maker and

This Ain’t No Highlight Reel

Be warned, this ain't no highlight reel. My friend Kathy, from The Junk Drawer, posted a video on Facebook this morning. Kathy tends to post more cats and stuff from Reddit than sports so I figured there must be more to it than sports. The video is an interview with Nick Foles after winning the Super Bowl where he offers some inspiring words of advice.

Some Thoughts on the Super Bowl

Now that it's over, everyone can go home. Obviously, I have some thoughts on the Super Bowl and all the surrounding festivities and celebrations that took place in the Twin Cities metro area. Some Thoughts on the Super Bowl First and foremost, it was pretty awesome. The weather couldn't have been better. Sure, it was cold and it snowed a few inches, but that's what

An Invitation to Dinner for Jimmy Fallon

So apparently Jimmy Fallon is inviting himself to dine with some Minnesotans while he's here for his live Tonight Show following the Super Bowl. He's not from here so he wouldn't know that we don't just invite ourselves over to someone's house for dinner. In fact, we have to be invited a minimum of three times before we can accept anything.  However, this is a

Where to Eat in the Twin Cities While Visiting for the Super Bowl

Wondering where to eat in the Twin Cities while visiting for the Super Bowl? You're not alone. If you're here for the sport thing, there are a million sports bars in Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding suburbs that make up the Twin Cities. Sports bars with walls of TVs to catch all the pre-game excitement of Super Bowl LII. However, there's more to dining

How to Fit in When Visiting the Twin Cities for the Super Bowl

If you're wondering how to fit in when visiting the Twin Cities for the Super Bowl, I'll save you all kinds of time. You can't. Sure, you can dress warmly (though that is the first clue you aren't from here), and you can even adopt a quasi Fargo accent, you still won't fit in. Hell, I was born here and have lived here for most

Big Mac Hot Dish with Noodles

Earlier I posted a recipe for Big Mac Hot Dish, but because I was concerned about my use of Tater Tots in the recipe I also a Big Mac Hot Dish with Noodles using elbow noodles instead of the tots. Initially I did not want to use noodles, it just seemed like a weird combination of flavors - pickles, cheese, tomatoes - to have with

There’s a Mouse in my Car!!!!

There's a mouse in my car!!! WTF!?!?!? I haven't actually seen the mouse, but I can hear it and it's terrifying. A few months ago I was driving my daughter to school because the bus never came. As we were getting on the practice freeway (35E for those of you who aren't from the Twin Cities, but for those of you coming here for the
