I know that I have written about crazy days in the kitchen on a couple different occasions in here but this past Wednesday was absolute mayhem… good-ish mayhem… but mayhem none the less. Alright… the officers have decided that Tuesday is some variation of “Crispy Chicken Sandwich” day so every Tuesday we batter and fry […]
I have a bit of a “guilty pleasure” that I look forward to on Saturday mornings when I don’t have to work. One of the homeboys in the unit gets People Magazine and when he is done with them… he passes them along to me. I have to admit that I look forward to these

I have discussed the importance of this many times over the past couple of years but this past week it was front and center when I looked back on the week and thought about what came to mind. As I discussed last week… it was a rough one in here to start the month… just
