A hummus recipe yesterday and an Amazon Friday Sale today?!?! If this site hadn’t jumped the sharked so long ago, this would surely be a jump the shark post… or maybe I’m just reducing your expectations so that I can knock your socks off next week. We’ll go with the later. [...]

Energy Gal’s Easy Homemade Hummus Recipe
About two years ago, I was grocery shopping with my wife when she picked up some hummus and added it to our cart. Being the jerk price-conscious person I am, I inquired why it was so expensive. (I believe it was either $3.99 for around 12 ounces.) “Isn’t hummus just ground [...]

This weekend my wife and I did a lot of cleaning in preparation for having The Digerati Life and Stop Buying Crap over for a game of Settlers of Catan. I think we spent 8 hours each day in preparation. I would like to say we split the work 50-50, but my [...]

Follow the NFL at 30,000 Feet for “Free”
