As a divorced man living alone I only had one priority, and that was my Son Joey. I never found going to bars an effective way to meet women. Then I discovered something called the internet. On the thing called the internet there were places where a shy lonely fella like myself could meet ladies interested in dating shy introverted men like me. I have...

I sometimes have to laugh at some of the pictures I take.  It just goes to show that it doesn’t matter what kind of camera you have, it’s the user that produces stunning pictures.  Want to see my delicious breakfast tacos and cantaloupe I had for breakfast? Doesn’t that look delicious?  Ha!  I follow a shit ton of people on Instagram and like some of...

When my Mom asked my sister and I back in November if we’d like to see the new Riverdance show in Chicago for our birthday, we both immediately said yes!  What I didn’t think of at the time was that I would be headed down to Chicago for St. Patrick’s Day weekend.  Luckily I got down there after the parade, but I have a feeling...

I got to work last night.  They already schedules who works in the bar area, so I knew I wasn’t working the bar so it wouldn’t be too late of a night.  Wrong.  One of the servers called in sick so I got stuck in the bar.  My mind wasn’t geared up for it, but I’ve done pretty well in the bar area, so I...

Turns out winter doesn’t quite want to loosen it’s grip on us just yet.  I seriously cannot remember a worse winter, and I lived through the Blizzard of 78! I found this picture online for Tony.  He said in the blizzard of 1978 he would be driving down a road and it was a wall of snow on either side and a narrow path for...

My Mom is a really good cook.  Some of her favorite dishes of mine growing up? Chicken and Biscuits Beef Stew Steak and Baked Potatoes (that my Dad would butter, salt and pepper!) Bacon and Mozzarella Open Face Sandwiches Tacos! Now that my Mom is retired and lives alone, I know she doesn’t do super complicated dishes just for herself, but she still meal plans...

Holy crap – I totally forgot to pick a winner of the free entrance fee to a Spartan Race in 2014!  I put everyone’s name on a piece of paper, then picked one: Congrats to Erica of Itzy’s Kitchen!  Send me an email at mybizzykitchen@gmail.com and I’ll give you the code to get a free race entry. Tony picked me up some strawberries at Sam’s...

I was a bit worried bringing breakfast parfaits for birthday treats, but they were a hit!  I brought vanilla Chobani’s, granola and I made two different compotes.  I bought two pints of strawberries the week before last.  It’s kind of ridiculous, but even though it’s just me and Tony at home, I use  two refrigerators.  I normally put “my” food in the downstairs fridge: Chobani...

I got up at 9:00 a.m. yesterday morning, even after not going to bed until nearly 1:30 on Saturday night.  Well, okay with day light savings, it was 10:00, but still.  Tony was still sleeping so I got up, grabbed a cup of coffee and hung out with my DRV for a couple hours.   It was awesome.  I was under my blanket, in my comfy...

Thanks for all the birthday wishes for Hannah yesterday!  I actually didn’t even talk to her until I was on my way to the restaurant.  She slept in, went thrifting with friends, had lunch out and dinner out too – she said she had a great day!  Ah, to be 22 again! Tony has to have his blood checked about every 2-3 weeks.  He’s on...
