The other day, I was in Random Carryout Restaurant with my girlfriend. While we waited for her order of French Fries, I began my usual survey and inspection for cleanliness, food handling, storage, etc. I did not expect to find this sign: I could not believe my eyes. I knew they were deceiving me, so [...]

Thursday, I learned that I am being watched by a woman I call Abrasive Barista Girl (ABG). ABG’s presence and personality had the audacity to make me feel like I was 2 feet tall–for a moment. Evidently, ABG has been watching me for some time now, and she made it known, loud and clear in [...]

Sunday, after church and tying up loose ends for this week’s relaunch, my girlfriend and I decided to enjoy the remaining DC area sun and spectacularly dehumidified weather. Our evening led us to the new National Harbor in beautiful Ft. Washington, MD. Our original plan was to eat dinner on the harbor, and enjoy the site from dusk until nightfall. [...]

I’ll always remember what I believe was my first Easter Basket. My Godmother walked through the door, and presented me a colorful basket filled with pastel colored candy buttons stuck to a strip of paper, a large lollipop (that I never saw again because I think my Mom or Dad ate it), a coloring book, and [...]

Though these processes vary in nature, the common denominator is consistent…the participants must be actively involved. Let’s take a look at the cooking process, for beginners. If I asked you to write instructions for making any meal [...]

If you read this week’s LBJ’s Short:”Oink Out the Truth“, you learned that I have a slight dilemma in the office with a staffer that claims not to eat pork. Brown Baggers, I am developing a bubbly, burning desire inside to finally just call her on the carpet and say what needs to be said! Thankfully, I don’t [...]

Last week, I started LBJ’s Shorts and you all absolutely loved them. Since the test run went so well, I’ve decided to give you a short story, off the top of my head, every week! Here goes… I believe that hospitality runs through my veins! Each time I get folks together I always take into [...]

Recently, I went to dinner with my Girlfriend and her family. Her Godmother was in town with her children and she decided to treat us to dinner at a restaurant that shall remain nameless. So, here’s what happened. We placed our orders. Everyone seemed satisfied with their selection and the typical conversation began. About 15 minutes [...]

I must tell you this story. I think I’ve shared it at least 15 times since Christmas. You know I have to share it with you! Since my maternal Grandmother scaled her cooking regimen back year ago, I can always remember my family has gathered for potluck dinner for cookouts and holidays. No matter who [...]
