• Restaurant Week - The Carlyle Restaurant

    Let's break away from the wonderful memories and jump into the present, as in what just happened today, because it's Restaurant Week in the N-Y-C!

  • "A What?"

    Since when did Steak 'n Shake employees start giving you blank stares whenever you sit down at a table and ask for a bean crock? No, I don't want "baked beans." That's not fun to order at all.

  • DJ Ginsu on Xanga.....

    I've been blessed with the friendship of one musical Samurai by the name of Ginsu, his music flows like an ocean's tied, giving other DJ's honorable deaths before they died. His musical sword cutting through a DJ's head to his/her floor board! If there is one thing I love more than a steak dinner it…
  • Happy Homemaker Monday 4.19.10

    On my bedside table: Nada, not much can fit on that stool, and I like it that way. :) On my tv: Oh my word, I am going to have to watch this while I'm really awake - I put this movie in as I was headed to bed and had all sorts of strange dreams last night... On tonight's menu: Chili &…
