Boring Day Off Things

Image
I get three consecutive days off most weeks unless my schedule changes slightly to allow for a four day stretch or just a two day to accommodate the extra days off.  When my days off roll around, I always have the perfect envisioning of how they will go.  Ideally, I'll have time for my favorite activities, enough time to watch a few episodes of my favorite shows on Netflix and Hulu, maybe cook something, publish a new blog post or two, and of course the weekly episode of Untitled.  Most weeks on Wednesday, I will also make time to watch Riverdale as it airs on The CW if I am home at the time and will eat at home instead of going somewhere before Untitled. My days off come, and I am ready for these plans.  But then I have to do other things, these things being.... Homework Extra sleep to accommodate missed sleep during my work days Housework Trips to the laundromat Grocery shopping Unexpected errands Doctor's appointments and meetings Before you k...

Table For One Please

It's the situation we've all had happen at least once in our lives.  We want to go get food at a sit down establishment, but we have nobody to go with.  Our brains begin to run at a million miles an hour, determining whether or not it's "worth it" to go to this restaurant or if we should just stay home and/or grab a take out box from another local establishment. To me, dining alone in a fancier restaurant such as Olive Garden, Red Lobster, or even Buffalo Wild Wings is just something I don't do very often.  I hate sitting there all alone with nothing to do but stare at my phone or sit in contemplating silence when I could be doing the same thing at home with the food in front of me and one of my favorite shows playing on the television.  It seems like taking the food home with me is almost always the better option, but is it really? Surprisingly enough, there have been studies conducted on this very subject, and so I chose to consult one for this art...

Chocolate Chip Cookies: A Love Story

Chocolate chip cookies are one of the best things out there when it comes to food for me.  They are one of the things that I tend to eat the most often and have been my favorite for the longest time yet. I can remember the first time I tried one as a young lad, and I've been in love ever since.  It's the way to my heart when it comes to food, and I guarantee that for me there is no better way to eat them then fresh and hot out of the oven, after they've cooled down of course. These cookies are so universal, and they are the most eye-appealing, being the ones Cookie Monster devours everyday and the ones being sold in droves at local fairs and festivals.  They smell amazing coming out of the oven, no doubt about it, and they're sure to win a baking contest when done well. If I had the opportunity to eat a bunch of them everyday (I don't because I know my health will rapidly crash and burn) I so would. And of course, let's not forget about the double...
