Don’t be jealous, but Mionetto Prosecco asked me to share another post with you today. Of course I said yes…because hello? It’s Mionetto. (read: SO GOOD.) So, sit back, take notes, and get ready to make this sweet little celebratory drink yourself! There’s just something wonderful about this time of year. Of course, I […]

Dunkin’ Donuts Sweet Black Pepper Bacon Breakfast Sandwich
December 16, 2016 by ·
It’s not every day that Dunkin’ Donuts asks me to give one of their products a try. I mean, I WISH they did, but at the same time, I’m also a hermit, and having to drive a couple of miles EVERYDAY would mean PANTS EVERYDAY, and we all know that isn’t happening. I mean, come […]

To My Grandfather, Who Never Read My Blog
October 26, 2016 by ·
We buried my grandfather today.I’m not sure how. Physically, I mean. How can it be possible that a man so big, so massive in his demeanor, so impossibly alive, could be contained? I’ve never lived in a world where he didn’t exist. It’s strange to think about that. But it occurred to me as I […]

October 19, 2016 by ·
Okay, stop the presses. Did you know there’s thing called Wok Wednesdays now? Yep…#WokWednesday. To follow #TacoTuesday, which follows #MeatlessMonday. I really need to invent a day. Like #3OldPicklesAndCheesestickThursday, which, in our house, could literally be just about everyday, because I am the laziest dinner-maker I know. I’m not sure what Rust must think of […]

This is Mr. Texas, a guest here at doughmesstic.com. By now, you all know my real name, and if you don’t, well, sorry, it’s buried in the abyss of previous posts. That’s not important anyway.
