QUICK APPS & FOOTBALL SNAPS: Week 7 – Bacon and cream cheese wrapped asparagus spears
For Week 7, I’m going to get you going with seven strips of bacon – to be smothered in cream cheese and wrapped around asparagus. OK, it may be a couple county lines over from healthy, but we all deserve a break once in a while. When in doubt, add cream cheese. Philadelphia sushi roll? […]

QUICK APPS & FOOTBALL SNAPS: Week 6 – Margarita shrimp with pico de gallo cocktail sauce
Cilantro is the mark of Latin foodstuffs – at least in my book it is. The herb – which is actually the stems and leaves of the coriander plant – has a very pungent fragrance and distinct taste. In fact, if you’ve ever had a mouthful of cilantro and all of a sudden felt like […]
The surreal life of Salvador Dalí on display in Misericordia University exhibit

How could you forget the pencil-thin mustache, the melting clock, or Adrien Brody’s spot-on performance of the eccentric creative mind in “Midnight in Paris?” Salvador Dalí is a man whose work made an impact on the arts scene, and it continues to do so […]
QUICK APPS & FOOTBALL SNAPS: Week 5 – Chocolate Peanut Butter Applesnacks

There are a lot of really great ones out there for snacking and, while I prefer Fuji, you may have your own preference. If you aren’t entirely sure, […]
QUICK APPS & FOOTBALL SNAPS: Week 4 – Crab rangoons
I love the shit out of takeout. I love it so much because it’s not only convenient, it’s predictable. I don’t have to think when I’m ordering; I just do it. Japanese – give me miso soup and a Philadelphia roll. Pizza joint – pepperoni topping and mild wings on the side. Mexican – all […]
‘Titanic: The Musical’ sings of history and real-life love, tragedy
We’ve heard the stories numerous times. We’ve seen the photos of the ship nestled at the bottom of the ocean, we could recognize the quartet of smoke stacks from miles away, and we have teared up over the final scenes in the film adaptations more times than we’d like to admit. And yet, we’ve never […]
