Sunday is the big day! Apparently there’s a game on TV (and Tom Brady, again) but everyone knows that’s the fourth best thing about Sunday. The third best thing is that we get to drown out the Sunday scaries with booze and food comas. The second best thing is the commercials. The VERY best thing…

Shrimp Boil
shrimp. boil. i sometimes day dream entertaining as norman rockwell photos. you know the thanksgiving one? how everyone looks like jolly joe and the hostess is placing the turkey so elegantly in the middle of the table? that’s how i picture meals all the time. but then the reality is that placing the turkey in…
