Dining Out
So, I do a lot of dining out in conjunction with my recipes website. My big pull at CopyKat.com is recreating restaurant recipes at home. So yesterday I went somewhere I had not been in, in at least 10 years. I went to the Golden Coral. They have done a lot of advertising lately, so I had hoped their food at improved since they have pretty much moved to a buffet only mode. I used to enjoy their inexpensive steaks. My first impression was their musak[...]
Controlling Your Online Presence
Controlling your online presence is so important when searching for a job, or really in any case, as you never know who will be reading up about you, or even when they do this. Just because there is an Internet out there where you can publish any thought in your head, and any photo you desire, doesn't mean you should take the liberty in doing so. Let's be smart about what we project to the outside world. Realize any employer, business associate, friend, or[...]

Notes About Writing
So for the past six months I have been carrying around random notebooks, that I take copious notes into, and then stuff away. I am always trying to write more consistently for the web. Why am I doing this after publishing a book, I have no idea, I should have been doing it before. It must be my hope that I can write another book, and write more clearly. For me, failure to communicate, equates failure well to communicate. If I can't get my ideas across to someone[...]
The Great Literature Purge
I think I must have been born with a fear of being not being able to read. If you step into my home, what do you notice? Books, books, books, and oh yes, some magazines. They are literally in every room. I am fortune in many ways because I get sent a lot of books to preview and to review, so this adds to my problem with having too many books in the house. I honestly have a cookbook collection of more than 300 books, I have stopped counting a long time ago. [...]

Topics you can’t discuss at work
I recently found this post about 40 Topics You Can't Discuss at Work by Karen Burns. I thought it was one of the best articles I had read on this subject in awhile. How often do you find co-workers that constantly speak about things you wished they wouldn't, and no one wants to put them self in the category of being that person. Here is the[...]
