My First Time At: Steak 'n Shake
Before I get too deep into this I would like to clarify: there are some places I have visited in my travels I will not review. The reasons for this will vary from "a review is not appropriate" to "I do not review large chains." This falls to the latter. The Steak 'n Shake restaurant is a fairly sizable chain with over 500 restaurants nation wide and is just getting larger. I recently had the opportunity of going to a Steak 'n Shake for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised.

Wintertime is basically synonymous with "soup season" for many of us, and during the spring, a fresh broth can't be beat.

3 Ways to Spruce Up Pasta
Who doesn’t love pasta?! It is a great and versatile dish that can be made countless ways. It can be made for lunch or dinner and scales easily from a single portion to feeding a large crowd. The cook time is relatively fast and it doesn’t require a lot of fancy equipment (no, a pot and a strainer are not fancy. Plus, you don’t even need the strainer if you can use the pot lid to separate the pasta from the water). But as great as pasta is, after making it too many times, it can get a bit stale and boring. So here are some quick and easy ways to spruce up your pasta and impress your friends and family (as well as your stomach!)

Gender, Age, and Rationing
The traditional family structure in its idealized form has the father working and earning money to support his wife and children, the wife running the home, and the children going to school and playing, blissfully innocent and carefree. In the best case scenario, the father is able to provide for his family and they benefit from his labor, but the best case scenario very rarely reflects reality. In times of war, the traditional workers and breadwinners are sent off to fight and the civilians at home must step out of their usual roles. Women take on jobs outside the home to help the war effort and to support themselves and their children. A child’s innocence is threatened by the harsh and brutal realities of war. Both have to do without the pleasures they had previously enjoyed and often suffer from outright deprivation. The experiences of civilians during the First and Second World Wars, especially in rationing and the efforts to keep them fed, illustrate how war reverses society’s roles: In peacetime, men work to support women and children while in wartime, women and children must fend for themselves.

Restaurant Chains that Are Almost Extinct
As a restaurant critic, I've been told I have an unusual fascination with restaurant chains. I love learning their stories. I love watching old restaurant chain commercials. Heck, I even love looking at old chain restaurant menus—especially from restaurants that no longer exist.
