A Few Reason Autumn Blows (Including Blowing Leaves)
I know I’m in the minority on this one, but I do not like Fall, also known as the Season of Death and Decay, which precedes the Season of White Hell and Hibernation (snow). Here is a non-exhaustive list of things I hate about Fall (which just means there could be a part two at…

Thanks for the Days Off, Sandy
As you all know, thanks to the amazingly overblown non-stop SuperStormActionTeam coverage, Hurricane Sandy blew through the Eastern seaboard and gave us all a couple of days off. Which is all well and good. I mean, I’m not one to turn down a few days off from work, but it did promote a sort of forced…

Thanks for the Memories, Glitsy: Porktober 2012
*Let me start by apologizing for the photos. I was very lackadaisical about taking pictures, so I stole the majority of these from other people, so there’s some variance in terms of size, especially. There was a crime at this weekend’s Porktober. A crime against humanity. Someone ate all of the mozzarella out of the…

It’s Beginning to Smell a Lot Like Porktober
October is a very special month around thePoeLog household. It’s the birthday month of XFE, aka my boyfriend-for-life. It’s also the month we met. Yep, seven glorious years ago this month he wore me down and convinced me to go out with him. A couple of weeks later, on Halloween, he tricked me into our…

Maybe the Hogs Were Concerned About the Impact of a Potential Bacon Shortage?
Those animals, man. They are totally out to get us. I don’t think I’m being paranoid (anymore) when I say that the animal kingdom has thoroughly turned on us. The evidence is stacking up and has been well documented on this website. Think badgers are cute little woodland creatures incapable of eating a midget porn…

Birthday Ham
It’s not every day that one can say they brought home the bacon. Or, even, the ham. But my main man XFE’s birthday is today (Tuesday). And, well, he loves his cured meats. Which is fairly surprising considering the Great Northern Italy Food Poisoning Incident (Involving Salami), Spring 2011. I personally still have some hard…

It’s a Pork-Tastrophe in the Making! A-PORK-alypse!
Everybody stay calm. We’re aware of this latest crisis and we’re planning Porktober accordingly. As you may have heard, The U.K.’s National Pig Association, an esteemed organization if ever there was one, is predicting a pork shortage in 2013. The U.K.’s National Pig Association said the European Union’s pig herd is declining significantly as pig…

Weekend Gorging: When Petunia Wasn’t Looking
In between attempts to feed much-needed medicine to wiggly fur face residents, we celebrated the gift of life that is our cat by eating lots of good things, including these guys. When your personal chef for life wakes up on a Saturday morning and declares (while cleaning out the magazine holder stuffed with six months…

Totally Pretentious Food Truck Review: BBQ Bus
It’s a boiling hot Thursday afternoon. I’m wearing a white t-shirt (under a cardigan, so it’s subzero work appropriate). And I need lunch. So it makes sense that I stopped by the BBQ Bus food truck. It wasn’t meant to happen like this. I had a dentist appointment at noon, after which I planned on…
