So of late, I’ve tried to make scratch-built mashed potatoes. Well, at least “bachelor cooking” mashed potatoes. And I think I found out what I’ve been doing wrong all this time. I’ve nuked potatoes in the microwave and then tried to mash them with a fork. Doesn’t work. I’ve tried roasting tinfoil-wrapped potatoes in the…

Full frontal nudity on Yellowstone last night.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I binge-watched the first three seasons of the modern Western drama Yellowstone. The show’s good, I’ll give you that. It’s got sweeping cinematic vistas, it’s got complicated storylines straight out of Dallas or Dynasty or Empire, and Kevin Costner chews the scenery every time he’s on camera. Oh yeah, and because…

I was inspired to write this blog after reading a tweet from my friend Jerry Papandrea (he’s the guy who has the DerryX YouTube food channel). Yeah … no.

Read MoreLive life like you’re Evel Knievel.

I need to tell you this story. It’s all true. And nearly 45 years after it happened, it still hurts inside. As many blog readers know, I had a very difficult childhood. The home life was tough, and classmates in the South Colonie School District (otherwise known as Schools 7, 9 and 10 of The…

Let’s have a short pop quiz. What is one of the most annoying things that Chuck has dealt with over the years? There’s someone in the back who’s got his hand up, and doing his best Arnold Horshak imitation right now. So let me explain. I have scribbled many blog posts about those annoying, unstoppable…
