We get it…everyone loves fried chicken. It’s golden crispy shell hides moist, slightly salty meat. It’s savory, juicy, and decadent. Plus…fried. But there’s got to be a limit to our eternal love for a bucket of finger lickin’ goodness. Or is there? Do we love fried chicken so much we’d…
Put on your Easter bonnet — make sure there’s plenty of frills upon it. It’s time for Easter parades and egg hunts and pictures with the Easter Bunny and, yes, even church. Then, after all that — for us foodies anyway, for whom gustation is basically religion — there’s the…
We have a lot — perhaps an excess, really — of National _______ Days in this country. If it isn’t National Talk Like a Pirate Day, it’s National Appreciate Your Furniture Day or some other such thing. (OK, we kind of love the former. Arrgh!) Most people roll their eyes…

If you’ve ever watched any sort of TV sitcom or sat through a bunch of commercials during a football game, you’ll see that grilling is a man’s domain. Well, at least that’s what the honchos at advertising agencies and scriptwriters would lead ladies to believe. That, friends, is a bunch…
