Even stores boasting their tall and slim options don’t seem to measure up. So what’s a guy to do? Continue reading “Simple Alteration DIY: Button Up Shirt Sewing Tutorial”

Hummus Recipe for Cheaters
Let’s get one thing straight. I hate cheaters of all types except on two occasions: during diets (no dessert makes people cranky) and while cooking. All recipes can be adjusted and substituted when cooking in my kitchen, especially when it comes to weird ingredients… Like tahini. Continue reading “Hummus Recipe for Cheaters”
