I’m going to tell you something straight from the jump; this is not going to be a negative review. If you were hoping for one of my 0 out of 10 eviscerations, I hate to disappoint you, but this will not be one of those. Before I tell you that this soup and sandwich combination … Continue reading Collingswood Review: Maria’s Bread Sandwiches NJ Tomato Soup & Mushroom Grilled Cheese

Review (in progress): Fatherhood Pt. 4
Status update: Ivy is three years old. Ivy is about the size of a five-year-old. She enjoys pizza, lollipops, strobe light dance parties and television. Her favorite phrase is “why daddy (or mommy)?” Her favorite word is “why?” Her favorite question… “why?” You follow? Ok. She also seems to be reaching a concerning state of … Continue reading Review (in progress): Fatherhood Pt. 4
The Collingswood Review: Haddon Ave Smash Burger
I must admit that, for some reason, I was wary of a burger from Haddon Culinary (HC) prior to having it for the first time. Sure, HC is a chef-inspired specialty food market which has satisfied my taste buds on many occasions with a broad range of delights from soup to sandwich and around the … Continue reading The Collingswood Review: Haddon Ave Smash Burger
Review (in progress): Fatherhood Pt. 3
I recently went back and re-read part two of this Fatherhood series and reflexively tilted my head to the side and thought “aww.. what a sweet boy. I remember that doe-eyed, lovestruck simpleton I used to be. What a kind soul he was” and so on. Well, that shit is over. I’m just as in … Continue reading Review (in progress): Fatherhood Pt. 3
Target – Expect Nothing. Pay Everything.
Let me begin by saying that I’m aware of my own insignificance in all of this. Target is worth tens of billions of dollars and I still roll my toothpaste tube to get every smear of my money’s worth from it. But that is what makes this so goddamn frustrating. Here’s the synopsis: I go … Continue reading Target – Expect Nothing. Pay Everything.
Review (in progress): Fatherhood Pt. 2
I’m just over a year into this crazy venture and already the newsworthy milestones grow farther apart. Ivy’s 13 month mark came and went with little fanfare. Subsequent baby teeth just don’t seem to emerge with the same pizzazz as the first one or two. The milestones that do make the grade, though, really shake … Continue reading Review (in progress): Fatherhood Pt. 2
Review: White Chocolate
Thanks for voting this in as the topic of this installment of True Jest and all that but I’ve got no patience for pleasantries today. Let’s do this. Counsel Bullock rises from the sturdy oak chair, re-positions the documents in front of him to perfect parallel alignment, then unconscionably tosses his ink pen haphazardly upon … Continue reading Review: White Chocolate
Review: Glitter
Hey, reader! How’s your day? I bet you feel as good as you look. I wanted to start off this review with a glimmer of positivity because, henceforth, none shall materialize. I seek structure in most things; it’s just my nature. Congruently, prior to writing an article, I invariably create a detailed outline to follow. … Continue reading Review: Glitter
Review: Cilantro
No. Thank. You. Wait… let me back up to provide some historical context. Records of the usage and cultivation of cilantro date back to a time pre-Ancient Egypt but it was first brought to the British colonies of North America in the mid-1600s. Relatively large-scale commercial cultivation of cilantro coincided with the increasing popularity of … Continue reading Review: Cilantro
Review: Ice Cream Sandwiches
The ice cream sandwich: simple perfection. Invented in the 1960’s by noted Atlantic City treatsmith Tiberius “Scoops” Barnett, who pondered: “Tis wafer less noble a vessel? Tisn’t rectangle as worthy a shape?” Dissatisfied with the current progress in ice cream technologies, Scoops sought to take a bold step forward. Ever the opportunist, and somewhat the … Continue reading Review: Ice Cream Sandwiches
