Nobody’s Home

Sadly, utterly abandoned. Some of them aren’t too far gone, if only someone cared enough to invest their time and money.

Ghost, Shadow, or Prank?

What do you think?

“Some are calling it a “ghost,” while others are dismissing the shadowy figure as a reflection — but no one really knows for sure.

“The video footage, taken during a match at the Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz, Bolivia, shows an unidentified figure running quickly through the stands and seemingly going right through a barrier at a steady pace.

“The video has gone viral.”

News & Updates

Announcing a brand new website on the Internets! Culinary Craftiness, the category I established here in September 2012 is now a full-fledged recipe site. I love cooking and sharing the dishes I’ve whipped up. I hope you’ll find the posts appealing and give them a try. Please click on over and check it out! I have many more recipes to post over the next few weeks so don’t be alarmed by the avalanche. I promise, it won’t last long and things will settle into a somewhat hit or miss routine. LOL...

I’m “Thunderstruck.” Are you? :D

Sadly, Utterly Abandoned Detroit

How sad is this? A whole city on the brink of becoming a ghost town.

Shortcut Super Savory Meatball Subs

I got the idea for this from my buddy Abigail over at my other hang-out spot, Chicklets in the Kitchen. She put more time and effort into her version, and while I’m sure hers are loaded with love, mine were pretty packed, too, even though I went as semi-homemade as possible.

For some reason, I want to say “meataballa” whenever I think of these. Let me tell you, they were sooo good and filling it was impossible to eat more than half of one even if I wanted to. (I made footlongs – or whatever...

Sadly, Utterly Abandoned: The Haunted Green House

I went home for a visit back in July of this year and heard the sad tale of a house that played a big part in the lives of a lot of my family. It’s not a large house or one that’s architecturally noteworthy. It’s just a regular old house built in 1910 in my little hometown of Morristown, Indiana. We’ve always called it “the green house” because it was a deep pea green for probably 30-40 years or longer, but someone in the last 30 panted the old shingle siding white.

A Hawaiian Delight: Spam Musubi

I’d never heard of this or even thought to search out any Hawaiian recipes until a good old friend from my hometown (who has been a resident of the Aloha State for many long years now) suggested it. Bill and I were emailing back and forth and the subject of cooking came up. No doubt I asked if he had any good recipes, but until that moment, it didn’t occur to me that the peoples of those gorgeous Pacific islands would whip up culinary masterpieces so very different than what we eat on the mai...

Sadly, Utterly Abandoned Filling Stations

We’ve all driven by countless deserted gas stations. Had I ever thought about it in years past, I would’ve taken pictures of dozens along the highways and byways of our travels. I’m thankful that others have better presence of mind than me. I find them all interesting and wonder about the people who owned them, worked at them, stopped to fill their autos up, and maybe bought an ice-cold bottle of Coke. Soda pop in a plastic container with a twist-off lid just isn’t as refreshing.

A former gas...
