M.L.Edwards

M.L.Edwards last signed in Oct 20 2009 and has been on Bukisa since Jun 04, 2009.

About Me:

Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, I'm a thirty-something husband of a wonderful woman and father of two fun-loving young children. I've been known to skip a meal or three for an uninterrupted opportunity to read and write.

My fiction reading preferences lean towards speculative fiction, particularly cyberpunk, though I enjoy a good novel or short story no matter the author or genre. Not surprisingly, my fiction writing shows similar tendencies, though I do take pleasure in trying my hand at horror short stories. The more zombies, the more fun.

My non-fiction reading preferences include anything that can hold my interest beyond the title. My non-fiction writing often involves some of my favorite things: sweets (in the form of food reviews), house music (in the form of DJ interviews), and travel (in the form of creative non-fiction).

Oh yeah: I'm (also) addicted to parentheses. (Really!)

Food Review: IHOP’s Butterscotch Rocks Pancakes

by M.L.Edwards | in Food & Drinks > General

After an encounter last Saturday afternoon with the International House of Pancake’s (IHOP) new-to-the-menu Butterscotch Rocks Pancakes, my taste buds can say with all honesty (if they had tiny mouths and could speak) that they still have yet to experience a preparation too heavy on the sugar. But then that’s what they live for.
