Can't take that trip to Italy this weekend? Maybe you might want to consider the next best thing. How does an Italian Culinary Weekend in Branson, Mo. sound?

The Hilton Branson Convention Center is inviting guests to taste a little bit of Italy close to home with an Italian Culinary Weekend Feb. 26-27.

With packages starting at just $429 a night for two for deluxe king or double queen accommodations, it's a great couple's weekend away, with a reception Friday evening featuring antipasto, hors d'oeuvres and fine Italian wines. Then on Saturday, you'll be treated to a cooking demonstration featuring Friday's treats as well as some of the items in Saturday's five-course dinner. You'll even get to take home a bag filled with goodies for the home chef.

Between all the Italian food fun, you can take advantage of Branson's other features and entertainments. The area features 49 live entertainment theatres, outlet malls, beautiful lakes and golf courses. The hotel's also located within walking distance of historic downtown Branson. Or you can stay warm and cozy inside the hotel and take advantage of the indoor pool, fitness center and hot tub.

Reservations for the Italian Culinary Weekend must be made by Feb. 23, so don't delay!

As promised, my rant against the gay marriage bans

I haven't taken the time to outline this post, so it will probably start to wander all over the place. Consider yourself warned. But here's my rant on California's Prop 8 and the two other gay marriage bans that were enacted by the voters on Tuesday. Let's go over the standard arguments against gay marriage, and I'll address them one by one. (Thanks to the jackasses at nogaymarriage.com for making this easier.) Maybe it'll help keep this a little more organized, but I still don't promise not to stray a bit. * God says it's bad, according to the Book, anyway. We have no business legalizing behavior prohibited by God. Alright, I'm going to get the God argument out of the way right now. We're not talking about church doctrine, we're talking about law - as in man's law. The church doesn't apply on a legal issue. Each church has the right to decide whether or not they will bless the union of a same-sex couple or a heterosexual couple, but

Sunday dinner: Garth Brooks' mother's cabbage rolls

So, last weekend at my mother's house, mom, the girls and I got onto the subject of food - naturally - and Gin mentioned that she would like more things with cooked cabbage. ... Yeah, I know, right?

She found it years ago somewhere, touted as the recipe for cabbage rolls that Garth Brooks said his mother made for him. I looked it up online and saw it appear in a few forums, but I didn't see an "original" anywhere, so I thought I'd go ahead and list it here, too. If objections happen to come down the pike at some point, I'll be more than willing to take it down, if there are copyright issues or something. I'd love to credit the original source, but I don't know wha
