Howdy. At least that’s apparently what they say down here as a standard greeting in the South…
It’s been a while for posting. Yup, it is what it is. I won’t wax poetic about how busy we’ve been and how lazy I’ve been, etc, etc.
What’s done is done, but the good news is I’m going to begin using this site again to keep friends, relatives, acquaintances, and internet stalkers abreast with our new down south Dallas adventures, so I hope yall** stick around for the ride.
**for the record C and I refuse to speak southern.
We’re outta here. Headed to the Big D from the D. Now that we have a move date we’re putting up for sale pretty much everything. Click over to the 4sale page and keep checking — as we post stuff and items sell we’ll be updating in this central location. Thanks!
In an effort to make the basement a more useful & livable space, I’ve been trying to do various projects and little bits here and there as time allows. So I built a wall. Not only does it have a cool opening the perfect size for beer distribution, but we now have a hidden storage area under the stairs, and DOUBLE the amount of usable power outlets!
We’ve had this oddly shaped storage area at the top of our stairs under-utilized since we moved in. C has a lot of shoes. What better way to merge the two problems into one solution, than a giant walk in shoe room! $60 and a Sunday afternoon later, here’s the results.
Saw something similar on television a few weekends ago and this sounded good. I can’t for the life of me remember exact measurements, but this recipe easy enough to just whip up on the fly…
Nice cut of Pork Tenderloin
Olive Oil
Lemon Zest
Fresh Thyme & Rosemary
Sweet Potatoes
Salt & Pepper
In a dish mix olive oil, lemon zest, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper to desired consistency and taste. Place meat & marinade into plastic ziploc coating meat liberally, place in the fridge for a few hours.
Preheat cash iron skillet in the oven at 400F. Place tenderloin fat side up in the pan. Cook for 45min or until internal temperature is approximately 160F. Allow meat to rest for 10mins before slicing.
While the meat is cooking, slice sweet potatoes into desired french fry sized slices. Place in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Cook sweet potato fries for 30min, flipping after 15mins.
I’m introducing a new semi-regular blog feature. Every day is a struggle to think of something to write about. Most days I have plenty of 1 or 2 liners that work, but don’t necessarily have enough content to make it worth it. So instead of tossing those ideas out, I’ll toss them on the internets. Win/win if you ask me…
Why the fuck do people include their email address in the signature of an email that they send to you?
This video takes a simple concept and turns it into a visual masterpiece. As an added bonus, the track is pretty nice too.

Why can no one talk about health care reform like an adult? Why does every discussion deteriorate into a fist fight within 2 minutes?
I’m tired of baseless propaganda from both sides.
The way I see it you have 2 options:
You can just let Capitalism do its thing — you’ve got health insurance which you pay for so fuck everyone else if you make too little to have an employer insure you. Or you can provide a minimum level of coverage for all — for a cost.
On one side, Capitalism doesn’t give a fuck about anyone. On the other, there is a stop-gap in place for society as a whole.
If you stop and think about it we’re all paying for either option out of our own pocket, it’s just a matter of which pot gets filled.

I feel like someday I will be paying for therapy to overcome this blog’s abandonment issues.
