(Tri) Tip of the day...
Make yourself a mixture of 50% red wine vinegar and 50% garlic infused olive oil (which my mother-in-law informs me I could make, but I found in the store). Prep the meat of your choice (we use Tri-Tip or London Broil) with a dry rub of your choice and when you put it on the grill brush liberally with the magic mixture… repeat every time you flip the meat. You will not be sorry, you will...

HBO's Treme Season 1
What an amazing series, I can’t wait to watch it again. Great characters, stories and flavor of New Orleans.

iPad for travel

It was pretty amazing to use one device to listen to music, watch movies, TV shows and fxphd classes, read magazines, read books, watch a concert video, play games and more.

While in Chicago I was able to use instead of taking a laptop...
