Dining in Columbus, Indiana
On Thursday afternoon we were starting to lick our chops, ready to think about our first food destination. As we had already charged past our ultimate destination in order to go shopping not far away we looked on both sides of the highway. The question was asked what do we want to eat? The usual…

April
This month has always been a busy month for my family. Especially the Alsman Family. There are at least no less than 5 birthdays. The first was actually the day of the Total Eclipse with one of my Mom’s cousins. Then together there was Grandpa’s and Lilly’s and then there is another lull until Uncle…

A Week of Uncertainty
Life is uncertain. People, jobs and money all come and go throughout our lives. Ecclesiastes talks about this: another book written by Solomon in the Old Testament. Sometimes I feel adaptable and other times that I can’t even do anything for myself because of that very concept. Anyway it seems like a lifetime ago already…

Deli-Style Food
A year ago when I was training for DaVita there was a restaurant behind our hotel I really wanted to try. My fellow trainee and I were in Illinois and it was the night before our last day there. We had made the deal to try that place for our supper. While I took a…

Using Dad’s Taste Buds
For weeks Dad has been saying how much he wants Ham and Beans. James, my youngest brother somehow discovered he does not like any type of bean. Which is kind of funny cause he’s the last one who needs more beans in the family. He’s ornery and expects special treatment is all I know, it’s…

Morning Blues
My Mom and I had to get up awfully early this morning. My uncle’s MRI was scheduled for 8:30 am. This means we all had to be up early. My alarm clock on my phone went off like clockwork at 6:30 am although things didn’t go quite as expected. After my alarm was silenced I…

Cravings… for Subway
Earlier this month was the milestone that I once held firm on remembering with a subway sandwich. Grandpa Freddy made Chicken Teriyaki one of our favorite sandwiches and the ‘Sweet Onion Sauce’ a favored sauce. This year I didn’t continue that in memoriam of him until today. All month long I have craved anything really…

Listen For The Crickets
Back in World War II it was difficult for my Grandpa to admit how hungry the men got in those stalags. My parents remember him telling them about having to eat some bugs for protein. It wasn’t a source of pride for him to admit this fact it was simply his hunger pains. I still…
