The Exhausted Menu

Thoughts on life, food, and the moments in between

  • Spaghetti Thursday

    I have two regularly occurring meals on my weekly rotation – Taco Tuesday and Spaghetti Thursday. These are the two days of the week where it’s a) easy, b) no complaints, and c) cheap. So, when I tell people that I plan my weekly meals a month out and hear gasps, I explain that eight…

  • “Hello, boys!”

    “I’m baaaack!” I’m terrible at keeping up with things. I usually say that won’t do it if it’s not on my calendar. Even remembering to breathe sometimes is a calendar event.

The man across the street, wearing sunglasses, board shorts, a KISS tank top, and flip-flops,…

That’s partly why I’m here. Therapy helps, but maybe yelling into the void will ease the worry. And hey, yelling into…

Hi There

I’m a bit of a dangerous combo. I love my family (those I’m stuck with and those I choose), food (especially cheese), and I run my mouth. You’ll see all that here and more. We started the ride at dawn and I’m glad you’re here for the adventure.
