Victualing is grocery shopping of a different kind
Posted on March 8th, 2009 CommentsWhen it comes to groceries, I’m not really a planner. Or volume buyer. I never had a Costco or Sam’s Club membership, and I intend to keep it that way. I don’t need 48 rolls of kitchen towel, nor do I have the space to store them. I’m not interested in saving a couple of bucks on a dozen steak value pack, even if I had the appetite or the freezer to handle them. I’d rather walk down to the local store and get my supplies for the day (or two). There’s one big exception though. And that is victualing for a prolonged stay at sea. Victualing? Who uses that term? Sailors do.

Don’t play with food (or food words)
Posted on March 7th, 2009 CommentsThere is very important, and not at all important stuff in life. Within the not at all category, however, there are arguably some quite important things at the top of the list. One of these is the use of lame wordplays for food and restaurant names. It may be just my personal pet peeve, while everyone else thinks its really funny. I would find that hard to believe though.
