Watch this news clip and tell me if you think the haircut is a problem. Perhaps I am jaded.

southwestern pulled brisket January 2, 2010

The Olds -- they're never happy, are they? Just look at this study conducted by the feared and respected Zogby International.

Delicious Cheddar Puffs December 29, 2009

My mom made these puffs for a cocktail party she threw back in the seventies. Back when Danskin trousers and brown leather clogs ruled the day. I loved these then, when I grabbed a stash and ran up to my bedroom and ate them by myself to the sweet, mellow voice of Helen Reddy. And I still love them now.
