While I love going to the movies, the amount of money these places charge for a bag of popcorn, soda and a bag of Sour Patch kids absolutely outrages me. I’m already paying more than enough for the actual admission, and so I refuse to drop [...]
What’s weird is that while many parts of the country are still feeling the chill, Buffalo has had absolutely gorgeous weather over the past week. We’ve had a week straight of upper 70s and pure sunshine. This doesn’t happen often around these parts. In May, just getting [...]
Right after the Superbowl, Mr. Big Flavors and I decided that our next kitchen purchase needed to be a pizza stone. We made three pizzas on three baking sheets for the Big Game, and the resulting crusts each had a different texture – too crunchy, too crispy, or too flat. [...]
