Hoorah! It’s National TV Dinner Day! Kidding about the enthusiasm, not kidding about this national day. TV Dinners were introduced by C.A. Swanson & Sons in 1953, changing the prepackaged meal industry forever.

Read More ›In the Sunday Times on the 6th, there was an article that piqued my attention right off the bat, entitled Blessed Be My Freshly Slaughtered Dinner[1].

I’m not referring to infants (duh), or really little ones who don’t yet have all their teeth and the ability to chew up a mouthful of steak and kale, but kids who do. Conceptually, that is.

Read More ›Hello! Today’s the day: Ironman 70.3 World Championship, coming to you live from beautiful Zell Am See, Austria. The week leading up to the event couldn’t have been more idyllic and it’s with excitement, focus and gratitude that I’ll be towing the start line with a few thousand fellow athletes at 11:44 am. Follow along […]
Read More ›One of my favorite things about dining while traveling in the EU is how simple it is, not only to eat well in terms of ordering veggies and protein, but to be able to identify without a doubt whether or not a meal or packaged food has anything sneaky hidden in it. While it’s easy […]
