...And we're back.

Anyone else have a problem trying to spit out a quality answer to the question "So what's been going on lately?" in the months of January and February every year? Well.....yeah. That's been me. Just not a lot going on in Ol' Dixon's head lately.

If I post all of the things that I've been up to recently, most all of what you'd see would be pictures of food that either I have made, or have been served in a restaurant. I have this strange need to take pictures of plates of food. If I post all of them, I run the risk of this here award-winning blog (as far as you know) being typecast. We (the Royal "We") here at UUKBlog pride ourselves on taking the shotgun approach to topic selection. But it's been a good February, and there's some new posts in the blog pipeline. So consider this the first true posting slump, of which there will likely be many more. I'm okay with that. You?

Back at it.... Stay tuned.

By the way....that's the Chicken & Waffles at the Rialto Cafe, Downtown Denver. Recommended, obviously. I would mainline the gravy alone.

Good to have you back.

I was told that I would never have a famous blog because I don't have a theme...screw that, I like too much stuff to stick with one topic. I like variety in life! But I do find your food posts interesting...hamballs WTF?

Is that before you ate it or after it came back up and would you serve that to West O Barbie or Council Bluffs Barbie? Glad your back, regardless of content.....

I was woken up early by my dad, who came in slowly, quietly to my bedroom after trying to process the news he and my mother had received 45 minutes previously. The unthinkable. It was a bright, shiny Sunday morning, the sun just now coming through the curtain of my east window. I had been at a friend's house the night before playing music in our high school garage band. Had it not been for the band, and the fact that I was scheduled to work at the grocery store that Sunday morning, who's to say I wouldn't have been out at that party with them Saturday night? Dad sat down on the edge of my bed, placed his hand on my shoulder, shaking it gently.  "Buddy... Buddy wake up." I rolled over quickly. Dad never woke me up in the mornings. "I've got some really bad news to tell you..." His eyes visibly red, his voice weak and shaky.  "...You lost two friends last night." "Who?" Twenty years is an eternity, and also a blink of an eye.

Breaking News: Your Kids' Names Suck. Developing....

This has been a prevailing thought of mine for a while now, and I'm positive I'm not alone here. I'm going to try to keep my composure & not go into some long-winded tirade talking about the outrageousness that has become new baby names in the past decade. One of the reasons that I will try not to is that I have many friends who have small children, and there may or may not be a few with names that are so ridiculous that I need not bother getting pissed about them.....their children's own fate has been sealed with their own outlandish name. But one needn't go any further than their hometown newspaper's weekly supplement showing new births for that given week in their City, and simply marvel at the idiacy that are newborn names. Go ahead, pick your favorites, they're all there....I'll spare the innocent and spare you mine. Now I'm not a parent yet, so if you feel as if I'm speaking out of turn on this, I'm only looking out for the innocent

Comfort Food Weekend

Sometimes the weather is such that all you want to do is stay inside, point and laugh at your neighbor who is outside shoveling snow, and make some good food that fills you up and warms the cockles. I learned to love cooking when I was growing up from my mom, and the go-to guide for such dishes has been my mom's cookbook, a collection of some of my favorite recipes that mom would make growing up. She made this book for Lisa and gave it to her as a gift at her wedding shower. It's been used more than any other cookbook I have. So as a long, cold weekend at home loomed, I sat down and made up a list of 3-4 meals that I could make & chew on for the weekend, and then for lunches the rest of the week. Kicking it off for a Saturday lunch watching basketball was one of my all-time favorites, Zuccini Casserole. People probably don't go out of their way to buy up this particular vegetable, but it's been a staple in my family for as long as I can remember, whether it was a gi
