    IKEA

    Any of you guys ever go into an IKEA? I just did my first go around with the place. First off, I like the cheap eats. The layout of the show room kind of ticked me off a little. It was like hotel California, you can check out but you may never leave. Funny thing about the place I saw a WHOLE...

    Your first Halloween Joke or ... Not

    Halloween is coming! A man is walking home alone late one foggy night... when behind him he hears: Bump... BUMP... BUMP... Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him...

    To the ladies. acknowledgement!

    Being in a relationship for close to twenty years I tend to take for granted all the other things I don't usually worry about. After 5 weeks on the road I am doing everything which makes me more appreciative of all the things my old lady does. Yes ladies I did mention this to her. It is...

    Using stock with rice

    I like using stock with rice instead of water. If I am cooking chicken or fish I use chicken stock for the rice. When having meatloaf of chili I use beef stock with the rice. I would love love to use home made stock all the time but I go thru it so fast I don't have a chance to keep it in STOCK...

    Switching Coasts this weekend.

    Leaving Sunday for 6 weeks in the Sand Dog or you may know it as San Diego. I will be working on USS Chancellorsville (CG-62). I am really looking forward to this new chapter of my career. I may go to the Zoo, and or maybe Sea World. Anyone have any tips on what I should do on the weekends???

    Measurments?

    I know this will cause a little dysfunction between us, but, should we be using exact measurements? Example, 1/4 cup of eggs. or 1/2 a cup of onion. Eggs are a unmeasurable example, onions are called small medium or large, I could go on, but I think you guys get the idea. I would much more like...
