Trash Goat
There’s a special place in the heart of Spokane, Washington where a mechanical goat eats trash. Go to that place.
Right in the feels, Pluto
Happy Earth Day
Hornet Nest
My buddy found this huge hornet (paper wasp??) nest in a bush on his farm. Turns out they’d been mowing next to it for months and neither party noticed the other.
Passing a Kidney Stone: The 51-day journey of a magic pebble
kid·ney stone
noun
- a hard mass formed in the kidneys, typically consisting of insoluble calcium compounds; a renal calculus (i.e. a pebble in the kidney).
In the past 7 years I’ve had 2 kidney stones. The experiences were painful, but they were quick to resolve. My latest stone was less pleasant, a lot more painful, and took forever to pass.
READ MOREHow to Poach Eggs
One of my favorite things to order from a breakfast menu is Eggs Benedict. Not just for the muffin, Canadian bacon, and Hollandaise sauce, but mainly for the poached eggs. Seriously, I order the Eggs Benedict whenever I can not simply because it is delicious, but because I couldn’t eat them at home as I had no idea how to poach eggs. That is, until I gave it a shot.
On my first try I made the perfect poached egg. Since then, I have repeated the process and can now enjoy Eggs Benedict without having to hit up a culinary establishment. The worst part? It is so friggin’ easy to make poached eggs I’m kickin’ myself in the pants for not trying sooner.
Now it’s your turn. Break out the eggs, a pot, some vinegar, and a few other things and let’s get to the good part!
READ MORESpinach Manicotti Recipe
I went to a predominantly Italian high school. Well, there were a lot of Italians anyway. Each year we had a huge feast raffle dinner deal where hairy-lipped women from the old country would come to the school to create the best Italian food you could ever eat.
When they talked, all I could hear was “spaGHETti” “meataballa” and of course “ManiCOTti.”
Point is, I like eating Italian food. I like making it even though it’s all basically pasta, sauce, and cheese with a handful of whatever else is in the crisper and/or meat drawer.
Today, I’m raiding the crisper to make spinach manicotti.

READ MOREWho Wants S’mores?
So I went camping with my sister and family over the weekend. As usual, we gobbled up the s’mores by the campfire prior to winding down.
In the morning, as my brother-in-law prepared breakfast, he removed the box of graham crackers from the food bag. When he did he found a little ole spider hanging out in the corner.
Naturally, we removed the spider from its new-found home, placed it in my niece’s butterfly container, and took a bunch of photos.
