March 13, 2013 How can you tell if a man is lying? If he says he goes to "Hooters" for their great Cobb salad. No, the "Hooters" chain of restaurants have long been thought of as the ultimate man cave eateries but now the company is preparing to become more female friendly. How?
March 12, 2013 Most of us are trying to find signs that spring is near. Polly Wogg had the grill going this past weekend and Matt in the Morning is seeing robins. Now add to the list, Bonomo's Dairy Creme opening in Kirkland.

March 11, 2013 My wife and I were driving on Commercial Drive in New Hartford over the weekend when I noticed she was becoming noticeably excited. She told me her heart was racing and her pulse rate increasing. No, she wasn't having a medical emergency, we were just passing the construction site of the soon to be open Olive Garden restaurant--her favorite--in New Hartford.

March 5, 2013 March is "National Frozen Food Month" (no, it's not a paid holiday), and I'm sure if you looked in your fridge, you'd see plenty of frozen food items. But, frozen foods don't keep forever, and some need to be tossed after a bit.
March 4, 2013 Putting up with winter weather in the Utica-Rome area, we need ways to warm up. How about homemade soup? It's definitely soup season, and here's an easy recipe for homemade vegetable soup.

February 28, 2013 It is that most wonderful time of year! No, not Christmas, Girl Scout cookie time. Scouts across the country will be selling their fabledcookies to support the various scouting programs but--as famed as they are--there are probably some things you never knew about them.
February 21, 2013 At Big Frog 104, we always like to bring consumer alerts and recalls to your attention. This time, it's organic spinach.
