Gravel Road – Seagrove Beach
Gravel Road – Seagrove Beach

Back in Omaha we had a favorite breakfast place… Bailey’s.  Even though I never officially reviewed them on this blog, they were awesome… in fact, the last day we were in Omaha we started off breakfast there, as we did at least a few times a month (I ended up taking photos for a review, so look to one in the future).  Ever since arriving in Florida, Jess...

Chili – Mark I
Chili – Mark I

Nothing helps fix a cold day quite like a bowl of chili, you know? The weather here in Northern Florida continues to stay in the 30’s and 40’s so I needed something pretty warm to keep me going throughout the day as well as fill me up right.  I was digging around my spice cabinet and decided that I would make chili, but instead of using a recipe or “chili...

Garden ‘10: Weeks 1 – 4
Garden ‘10: Weeks 1 – 4

Tomorrow will be the fourth week since attempting my garden this year.  All I have going so far are peppers, but I plan to get a few other things going here in the future.  During my first gardening attempt last year, I bought 99% of my plants already as seedlings and while that worked out pretty well, I had a problem doing that this year.  You see, while Omaha had a ton...

New and improved!

In honor of our upcoming first year anniversary, less than one month away, I’d like to welcome you all to the new and improved Food Geekery!  When first building the site I was in a rush to get it done and didn’t really focus that much on usability… mostly just content.  Unfortunately over time as the site got more and more visitors, I just wasn’t...

Potato emergency!
Potato emergency!

Let me set the scene.  I just had a long day at the office, Jess is at home, and to be  nice she decided to make dinner so I didn’t have to.  I knew it was some sort of meat pie, but hadn’t exactly read the recipe… it was to be a surprise, I was told.  I’m about 5 minutes to my door and my cell starts ringing.  It’s Jess.  The next words...

Durian – Hail to the King, baby.
Durian – Hail to the King, baby.

When most people think of tropical fruit they think of bananas or mango or even guava… most don’t think of the durian.  To tell the truth, many people in this part of the world have never heard of this fruit, but once you see one, they’re pretty hard to forget. Seriously, check this beast out… it’s like a punk version of a coconut: Hail to the...

Remembering Omaha
Remembering Omaha

Originally this was supposed to be my last post before leaving Omaha.  Unfortunately due to a wedding, car trouble and horrible weather, we had little time, ended up leaving a day early and taking three days to drive what usually takes 20 hours.  More bad luck struck as I lost my Godfather just days after arriving and left to attend his funeral. Luckily the dust is settling...

Let’s get moving!
Let’s get moving!

I’m sure more than a few of you have noticed a slight slowdown in the number of updates going on the site. This actually isn’t because I have little to say, rather, it has to do with the fact that I’m moving. That’s right folks, in just a few weeks this blogger will be posting live from sunny Florida, rather than snowy Nebraska. The reason for the move...
