Ghoulash For Dinner on Halloween!

Friday, October 31st, 2025 is Halloween. So, just what do you plan on making for dinner?

This video is proof that I have done a lot of things in my radio career that I really wasn’t fond of doing. At some point while working at WOOD radio, someone decided (other than I), that I should do some cooking segments. Keep in mind I HATE cooking. I find no joy in it. I only do it out of necessity and even then I’m usually cursing my way through it. You will never find me just cooking something up because I enjoy cooking.

So here I was with the task of coming up with a cooking segment every week! Ugh. I would have rather run my figures through the blades of a running blender — but I took on the task and made the best of it.

I dug into the archives and found this old cooking segment from 15 a years ago. I’m having Ghoulash!

 

(Pay no attention to the references to the old blog on WOOD Radio’s website…it does not exist anymore.)

I’ve always been the kind of person who notices the things other people overlook — strange roadside attractions, forgotten pieces of history, unusual places, odd trends, and the little things in everyday life that make you stop and say, “Wait... when did that become normal?” That curiosity is really what this blog is all about. I’m especially drawn to the stories hiding in plain sight: a forgotten piece of Michigan history, a roadside attraction you’d never know was there, an old building with a story behind it, or some completely ordinary part of modern life that suddenly seems ridiculous when you think about it for more than five seconds. Some days you’ll find a fascinating history story here. Other days I may take you along on a road trip, dig into something weird from Michigan’s past, share an interesting discovery, or simply rant about something in modern life that makes absolutely no sense. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I just enjoy asking the questions, digging around for the stories, and sharing the interesting things I find along the way. My goal is simple: Keep looking. Keep learning. And keep things interesting.
