(Short link to full post for mobile readers). I’m becoming a cheap fucker in my golden years; or perhaps I’m penny pinching like most folks in the “new economy.” In any case, I look for value these days, the most quantity for the least amount of money. In October, Subway has all foot longs for… Continue reading Subway Club vs 7-Eleven Club Sandwich

Lean Cuisine Spinach & Mushroom Pizza
Boy, was I ever prepared not to like this. But the cupboards were bare, and while I gave up “4th meal” a long time ago, I was waiting for Mrs. Burgerdogboy to come home from a networking event, so we could watch the latest installment of Sons of Anarchy. The pizza comes with one of… Continue reading Lean Cuisine Spinach & Mushroom Pizza
Nationwide – Wendy’s New “Hot and Juicy”
I’m going to try and not let poor service taint this review of Wendy’s new burger..but…. We were out tooling around last night, didn’t feel like going to the grocery or cooking, so we were in a mood to grab some fast food to take home. Regular readers know that Mrs. Burgerdogboy is not a… Continue reading Nationwide – Wendy’s New “Hot and Juicy”

Portland, OR – Sunshine Tavern
Had a great time at a private fete at Sunshine Tavern in Portland on Saturday afternoon. I’m sure I will return, it’s a menu made just for me! We were served a wide variety of dishes, and overall my favorite was Sunshine’s take on the national dish of Canada, poutine. Sunshine’s version adds Italian pork… Continue reading Portland, OR – Sunshine Tavern
Perfecting Making Pizza at Home
I’ve been screwing around at home for years trying to make a great pizza crust, and I’m finally satisfied with mine. My method produces a great thin crust, crispy at the edges, and chewier as one progresses inland towards the center of the pie. The recipe isn’t that different from any variation you will find… Continue reading Perfecting Making Pizza at Home
Portland, OR – Golden Touch (Redux)
On occasion, Mrs. BDB gets a bug in her craw (WTF does that mean?) about breakfast out on the weekends. We usually make an elaborate production of breakfast at home on either Saturday or Sunday, an homage to my family tradition of same. Saturday breakfast was a meal my family almost always enjoyed together, and… Continue reading Portland, OR – Golden Touch (Redux)
Portland, OR – Blitz Ladd (for pizza)
Mrs. Burgerdogboy was having a lunch biz meeting here and offered to bring me something home. (She is SO good to me!) I went with the pizza, simply because a) I haven’t had pizza in awhile, and 2) I had not tried Blitz’s and it would give me something to write about. I asked her… Continue reading Portland, OR – Blitz Ladd (for pizza)
