Has your quarantine cuisine gotten a bit repetitive? Or is your pandemic pantry looking a little bare? Why not grab a can of cola, pop it open, take a moment to consider your options… then pour that cola directly into your next meal? The idea of cooking...
Holy [beeeeep]! I just saw a large hunk of balled-up shag carpet saunter across my living room! Oh phew, that was just my dog, Tucker, who, like me, has gone without professional grooming since the start of quarantine and now looks like a stray tumbleweed. Clearly, I...
Much like how a certain lemon-lime soda from a certain fast food joint (you know the one) is on another level, a carbonated God among the very same lemon-lime soda served at other establishments, air conditioners in hotel rooms are transcendental, capable of discharging an interminable barrage...
