Kwik Trip Kitchen Cravings Tailgater Pizza

  When my wife and I decided on pizza for dinner last night, I stopped at Kwik Trip with the intention of just buying a cheap, frozen, cheese pizza for our daughters since we already had another pizza in our freezer. However, as I was walking up to the checkout counter, this particular pizza caught my eye and, even though I wasn't crazy about spending $8.99 when I already had another option at home, I was intrigued enough to make the purchase anyway. We ended up making the pizza in the oven when I got home. After trying it, I have to say it is one of my favorites. One of the things, in particular, that really stood out for me when it came to this pizza was the toppings. The combination of sausage and cheese curds was both unique and delicious, especially since the curds were fresh enough to still squeak when we were eating them. The pizza also proved to be surprisingly filling, both because of the thicker crust and the generous amounts of toppings and cheese.  Normally, when ...

Behind the Scenes at a "Country" Photoshoot

My wife and I were up early this morning because she had another photoshoot, this one "country" themed. Fortunately, we didn't have far to drive this time around because we met the photographer at the Danville Dam and then Astico Park Bridge, both about a 20-minute drive, and we were able to make it back home before the storms hit. As I've done with previous shoots, I stood out of the way and got some of my own photos, experimenting a bit and taking some in black-and-white. Here are some of the photos.

My Thoughts After Re-Watching The Blob (1958)

My wife has a photoshoot (very early) this morning and, while she was showering, getting her clothes together, etc. I amused myself by finding a movie to watch. This turned out to be The Blob, which I've seen more times than I can keep track of, though this was the first time I had watched it in its entirety in a while. Here are some of the thoughts I had as I re-watched the classic monster film: Casting a 28-year-old Steve McQueen as a teenager works about as well as you would expect. Don't get me wrong, I like McQueen and think he does an excellent job in the lead role. It's just I had to suspend quite a bit of believability to buy him as someone who was still in high school, along with 25-year-old Aneta Corsaut , who was closer to her character on The Andy Griffth Show , Helen Crump, than one of Ms. Crump's students. Jim Bert's (John Benson) past could have made a movie on its own. War veteran. Hates teenagers because of an accident involving his wife. Second-in...
