When I was in Home Ec. in junior high, I learned to cook and bake some basic items. I remember there was something called "Crazy Cake" which was mixed and baked in the same 8 inch pan.
For some reason I was recently thinking about the first time I actually cooked a meal for my family, and I can't for the life of me figure out why they didn't tease me about it. It's not that I messed it up, it's just that it was so bland, and quite frankly, ridiculous.
When my mom was cooking something like chili or a hamburger hot dish, I always loved to snitch a piece of the freshly browned hamburger...before anything else was added. Maybe a little salt or pepper, but that was it.
I also loved hot buttered noodles.
So that's what I made. Browned hamburger, with buttered noodles on the side. And my family ate it, with no commentary. That included my younger brother, my mom, and my dad, who sometimes had less than kind reviews of my mom's cooking.
I know why my mom didn't say anything--she was just so gosh darned glad to have some one else cook. My brother probably thought it was weird but less objectionable than something strange and crazy with onions in it. But even my dad just ate it! All these years later, I still don't get it.
Unless of course there's an untapped market for browned hamburger and hot buttered noodles. Who wants to invest in my new restaurant?

Hey everybody, we were thrown for a loop by the twist this week, but were able to make one of our "oldie but a goldie" songs fit the mold.
We have a few songs that we have played consistently over the years, and we are very happy that we will be...
We just received word of what this weeks twist is, and...oh boy. We need to take our "signature song" and cut it to only 2:30 without going over. Amberstein does not simply play 2:30 versions of our songs...so this could be interesting.

In 1984, Rockwell rose to number 2 for 3 weeks in 1984 with "Somebody's Watching Me." The backup singer for the song was Michael Jackson. How did Rockwell get Jackson to help him? Well, Rockwell's real name is Kennedy William Gordy and he...
Have you heard the song "Rumble and Sway" yet on Triple M?
The singer sounds like a raspy blues dude who's definitely been around the block a few times....but surprisingly, Jamie N. Commons is only 23 years old!
He was born in England, but...
Last week, I decided I would try one new, healthy food a week, and asked my facebook friends to make some suggestions.
The first thing I tried was mango. I'm sure I've had other mango flavored things, and mango as part of something else, but...
There's only one thing that might be worse than the Neil Diamond/Barbra Streisand duet "You Don't Bring Me Flowers." And that's Jonathan Suttin doing his best crooning...doing both parts. Most unpleasant.
A lot of people liked this song...
