Inside the Cave In another century it seems (well actually I guess it was – strictly speaking) I did the “Take Your Child to Work” day every now and then with Jessi…back when it was “take your daughter to work day”, in the late 1980’s to mid-1990’s. I taught her about what I did, and as we are now in 2015, the tables have certainly turned, and now she’s teaching ME! Back last century, Jessi would come to work listen to some of what I was talking...
The Championships have come and gone…now the Super Bowl is coming up quick! Get ready for another Pig skin Pig Out with a Man Cave staple = BACON! Come on, it goes with darn near everything. To further heat up the crowd before the kick-off – “Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers!” (Jackie and Bill’s favorite!) These sweet and smoky poppers have just the right amount of sweet and heat with brown sugar bacon and spicy chili powder! Ingredients: – 12-15 jalapeños,...
Outside the Cave – Over the years we got into a teenager tradition in the kitchen with the kids. Every now and then we’d have some leftovers in the fridge, and we’d all declare – “Tonight’s Left-overs are Tomorrow’s Omelets! What better way to use up delectable leftovers, than to have them for breakfast the next day? This awesome omelet idea could also be breakfast for dinner. Omelets are quick to make, and completely customizable to even the fussiest eaters…(and...
Inside the Cave – FOOTBALL IS BACK BABY!!! I love the NFL games, Fantasy Football, and watching good games with good friends. Put out a nice spread to graze on and have fun! I recently did a BBQ before a great game and used a friend’s recipe for sausages with a seriously tasty topping. My friend George is probably one of the best BBQ’ers and chefs I know, and he has an onion and mushroom recipe that is totally KILLER for topping his signature barbecued Sausages . 3P...
Inside the Cave – It DID happen to me and my family. September is National Preparedness Month. I read a lot, and I’m a pretty cautious “Cave Dweller” most of the time. For many years I kept looking at my own “Disaster Kit” that I’d put together for myself and family, and over those many years…I never used it. You look at it year after year, and think “is this worth the effort?” I lived in the coastal area and then later in San Fernando Valley of...
Outside the Cave – We’ve been working with the Las Vegas Harvest Festival – Original Art & Craft Show on their Advertising, Public Relations, and Community Involvement for 18 years or so. I spend a lot of time at the show each year, and from a “guy’s perspective” I love every minute of it. It’s an event the whole family can go to. You can shop with your kids, they can sample food that they like, enjoy very funny stage entertainment and take them to a special...
Inside the Cave – Blue Cheese is one of my favorite foods, and a salad that combines all of my favorite flavors is right up my alley! For the Man Cave’s Go-To-Salad: you can’t go wrong with a wedge! I love it when Jessi makes the salads, it’s time consuming and she does a way better job on scoring more “presentation points” than I do! Alas, sometimes it does fall back on me and I do my best, however my good friend John just reminded (and served) all...
Inside the Cave – As we all spend more time on-line and become increasingly interested in it’s endless opportunities…shopping there is easy, time efficient, and let’s face it…there’s lots of great stuff to choose from! The Man Cave’s suggested sites as Father’s Day approaches: 1) The World’s Best “Man Cave” Glass – It’s NEAT! A few months ago we posted about a truly unique and incredible gift idea. With Father’s Day approaching, we definitely...
Inside the Cave – It’s May! 91 degrees here in Las Vegas, and – BBQ TIME! We got back from Southern California visiting with our great friends Nancy and Tony Nemer not too long ago…stayed in Encinitas/Cardiff and discovered the – Mother of ALL Tri-Tip’s! The Seaside Market in Cardiff, California has been offering a special Burgundy Pepper marinated Tri-tip for years, and it’s so popular (and addictive!) with the locals...
(Note: After reading this post, watch the actual 1974 race by clicking the link below!) Inside the Cave – I have been VERY fortunate to have had two wonderful experiences in my life regarding this Event; and can’t wait to watch this spectacular horse race every year. My parents owned a few race horses in California during the 1970’s and 1980’s, and one of them, AGITATE was a “one in a million” purchase, a tremendous success in the California race circuit...
