The Lions Rebuild, part 1

This post is part of a series. Click here for the introduction. Ah, yes, I am familiar with the Detroit Lions. This is the rebuild that feels the closest to infinite. The record here is pretty ugly. Last championship? In 1957. Last playoff win? During the 1991 season. Last playoff trip? 2016. Since the infamous 0-16 2008 season, just three playoff appearances (2011, 2014,…

Church’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich

Ever since Popeye's created their chicken sandwiches, the world has gone nuts for the chicken sandwich. Chik-Fil-A always had a great chicken sandwich, but as soon as Popeye's started having chicken sandwich shortages, every one wanted in on the fun.

Cold Brew Coffee

I like coffee, but I like low acid and lots of flavor. I also don't like burning my tongue to get my caffeine fix. That's where the cold brew comes in. When the world went to crap and I got stuck in the forever loop Groundhog Day of working from home, I decided to start making my own cold brew. Turns out that it's…
