Grilling vegetables takes bit of precision
By Paul Suplee, MBA, CEC, PC-3 Who doesn’t love a good snooze alarm? I mean, it’s only nine minutes, but what a glorious stretch of dreaming can be gleaned in such a short time. In fact, I am pretty sure that I have conquered Rome in some nine-minute segments of siesta. No, I do not… Read more »

Chef Suplee serves up fried alligator bites
By Paul Suplee, MBA, CEC, PC-3 I was a nerd as a child. Hell, I am a nerd now, so I guess not much has changed. I adore history. When I step off the plane and make my way to the French Quarter, or St. George Street in St. Augustine, or a castle in Heidelberg,… Read more »
