Drink It Like a Man (Chicken Kabobs)

I recently fell in love with a bartender who absolutely stole my heart. But, as usual, it came with a price.
Margie tended bar at Mo’s Slop and Ale. It was a kinda half-restaurant, half-bar joint. Although I’m a beer connoisseur, for her I made my drink of choice white wine spritzers thinking I would impress [...]

Clean Sweep (Barbequed Pork Ribs)

When I answered the door on that sunny Saturday in Sidney, South Dakota, I stood face-to-face with a young blond. She asked if I would sign a card for a chance at a drawing her company was having. I did. She was sexy.

One of the last race days that Dad [...]
