So two things, I went and found the Alton Brown rant. As much as I enjoy the man, I agree that a lot of the make your own beef jerky using a box fan and two AC filters is kind of silly. Just buy a dehydrator if you really want to do it. I just guessed he does that stuff for the TV. And he's more creative than I am.

Two, my wife and I have lived in KC our whole lives except a three year jump to Phoenix and back, and we had never heard of tomato and mayo sandwiches. And boy are our lives changed. Thanks for that!

I am also tormented by a Night Robin. I don't know if it's true, but I read somewhere that the bluish tint of some LED street lights makes them think it's daylight.

Dahling Liz,

Contrarily & Inversely to some, I'm an eater who writes at least three meals a day.

Now, regahding your "safe to say that I won’t be registering a trademark any time soon." . . .

Ahh, not so fast .

You may still be able to trademark your magnificently appetizing Blog Column -

because trademarks are granted to protect confusion from similar products - not merely

similar names.

Since your Breathtaking Blog is unlikely to be mistaken for a fizzy drink or dispensary medications,

(and vice-versa or verse vicea) - you just might have a clear shot at a Trademark.

And how cool is that ?

Here's the official procedure on that --

and my preference - the unofficial, but much clearer in depth --

As I lay here at 3:35 AM, I am tormented, not by a night robin, but by the question “What is the best dipping sauce for crispy crowns?”

Liz how dare you post a throwback to a rant on Alton Brown but not link it. I am going to spend the rest of my day digging around for it.
