Liz’s rant: The road trip
As I mentioned Monday, I took a little adventure last week, heading off to the nation’s capitol for four days. I wasn’t alone in my venture – let’s just call it 3 1/2 men and me. What was I thinking? Just so we all know where I stand, my idea of travel involves stopping only for gas and potty breaks when absolutely necessary, eating in the car and holding the pedal to the metal. I don’t … Read entire article »

Guest rant – What Exactly Does a Black Amethyst Smell Like? by Ryane McKinnon
I’ve always wondered who writes the descriptions of lotions, perfumes, or shampoos. I mean, it must be someone’s job to write something like, “Indulge your senses with soft lilacs with this luxurious moisturizing wash.” Or maybe, “Let the scent of apple blossoms transport you to a place of beauty and tranquility.” Those were surprisingly easy to come up with, but might have made the literary part of me die a little. As terrible as these beauty … Read entire article »

Liz’s rant: Hold your horses
Remember that saying? Me, too. And here’s how that phrase relates to today’s column. I am a tired puppy after a four-day non-stop adventure to our nation’s capitol. And oh, what an adventure it was! I may even share a few photos of the trip later this week. Just not today. I need a bit of recouping time. Except that I’m not about to get it. Because Kate and I have a cookbook that’s going to … Read entire article »

Liz’s rant: College-bound
Last Friday was the big day – the day I moved my daughter into her dorm at college. Luckily, the drive was only an hour or so. On arrival to her new “home town,” we were greeted with numerous signs, welcoming the students. A fast food restaurant piped in a local radio station, that devoted its broadcast to all things campus. We topped off the drive with a wait in a line of cars in a … Read entire article »

Kate goes on an adventure to the Demolition Derby!
Well, I did it again! I got my white trash fix for the year at the annual county fair demolition derby this past weekend. Really, can you think of any single event that is more white-trashy than watching spray painted clunker cars smash each other to smithereens? Nope, I didn’t think you could. And before you get all up in arms here at my use of the term “white trash”, let me assure I mean … Read entire article »

Liz’s rant: Liger on the loose
Leave it to the hometown of both Kate and I, where Cynthiana has made the news with its own version of Big Foot. That’s right. In Cynthiana, KY, the county seat of Harrison, there is a critter that is yet to be identified. Some say it’s a lion or bobcat – maybe even a cougar or tiger, and have named it a liger, playing off the movie Napoleon Dynamite. Others wonder if it’s just an over-sized … Read entire article »

Liz’s rant: The return to the era of the Flintstones
Just when I think I’ve seen it all, I have to confess I was wrong. Seems some professor has engineered (using the term loosely) a new human-powered car. That’s right, a crank-and-go vehicle that resembles a cross between something from the town of Bedrock and oh, I don’t know… a centipede. Assuming you have four people in it, cranking away as needed, you should be able to avoid being rear-ended, reaching speeds as high as 60 … Read entire article »

Kate goes on an adventure –
Guy Fieri style (Diners, Drive-ins and Dives)
I confess to being a fan of the Food Network show, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives with Guy Fieri. Really, who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned, high-fat, carb-laden meal from a hole-in-the-wall greasy spoon diner once in a while? A few months ago while on our family vacation, we took a day off from Disneyland to slow down with a relaxing trip to Ventura, California. When lunchtime came, much to my family’s chagrin I steered them past … Read entire article »
