I’m at the Shareasale Think Tank 2011 marketing conference in Chicago for the next two days. Tonight was a networking event where OPMs (Outsourced Program Managers) hosted tables and each table had a different appetizer. Plus, not only did you get to try a different appetizer at each table, if you got your card stamped [...]

This is the second annual episode of the Victory Garden. Remember Victory Garden 2010? Last year we learned that in a 2×4 foot plot of dirt, you can’t plant two tomato plants, broccoli and four bell pepper plants.

A recipe taken directly from Fitness Magazine, the most unhealthy ingredient (and perhaps only unhealthy ingredient in the whole thing) [...]

I’ve found that people either love or hate tapioca. It certainly isn’t because of its taste. The subtly, sweet flavor makes it hard to resist. The reason most people don’t like tapioca is the texture. It’s kind of goopy. I, on the other hand, enjoy the unique, soft lumpiness that tapioca has. Warm or chilled, [...]

So Molly and I went on a one-night getaway on Saturday to get out of the area and just have fun together. We went to Chippewa Falls, WI – about 1 1/2 hours away. I had planned the retreat as a surprise to her and it was! I booked what I called “honeymoon suite” at [...]
