OK, this post is totally random (but it’s my blog and I can write about whatever the hell I want to); one of the little news tidbits I heard today was that Brittany Murphy’s final movie is being released—more than 4 years after her death. I always liked her. Maybe because back when I waitressedContinue reading Musings on Brittany Murphy

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Brian’s been hitting the bottle (and the catnip) all day long. He’s a hot mess. Look at him, he can’t even stand up straight. So how has your St. Patrick’s Day been thus far? It’s snowy here. Again. At work there was another delay; which was good because I have a cold and getting upContinue reading Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Chicken Cooked In Wine
Did anyone know that IKEA published their own cookbook back in 1979? I don’t know why this surprises me so much…
A Song for Everyone on the East Coast
Don’t let the weather get you down! I love Cannibal the Musical! I highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it. Maybe it’s available online. Perfect for today!
Happy National Jell-O Week! (Brian bonus included)
It is once again that time of year. Yesterday began National Jell-O Week. Or at least according to the random holiday website that I just linked to. But anyhoo, National Jell-O week is, for me, and some other folks (I’m looking at you: Mimi, Ruth, and Brian) one of the happiest times of the year. It givesContinue reading Happy National Jell-O Week! (Brian bonus included)

Happy Birthday, James Spader!
Screw Ducky. Screw Blane. (His name is Blane? Blane?) Can we all just agree that Andie should have ended up with Steff in Pretty in Pink? Well, he’d be my pick. Maybe I’m such a fan of Less Than Zero because there is not only Spader but RDJ, too! Another gem with them both: TuffContinue reading Happy Birthday, James Spader!
Best Super Bowl Halftime Show of ALL-TIME
It’s that time of year again. Let’s take a moment to remember one of the greatest performances in the history of performances. *NSYNC shot flares from their hands. Nelly danced with Steven Tyler. Britney wore a gym sock as a glove. Mary J. Blige showed up in a giant fur thing. It made no senseContinue reading Best Super Bowl Halftime Show of ALL-TIME
Good Tidings & Cheer…
…from Brian and me! I hope that you find everything that you wished for under your tree (Brian just got covered in sap). Merry Christmas yinz guys!
Yes, I’m still alive
Hey kittens. Sorry that I’ve been AWOL. The time off really messed with my writing mojo and I did a lot of partying over the break. I have no idea what day it is anymore. But don’t fret, I did some cooking over Thanksgiving (can you say Shrimp Sputnik?), I just haven’t had a chanceContinue reading Yes, I’m still alive
Your Moment of Halloween Zen…
I just can’t stop watching (and sharing) this video. Because it is the best Halloween clip. Ever. Happy Halloween, kittens!
Friday Fluff
I’m sorry that I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been busy working on another writing project and just out and about and having fun–gallivanting about Baltimore. So I don’t have anything for you today food-wise. When I put it to a vote last week, you guys overwhelmingly said “why the hell not?” to meContinue reading Friday Fluff
John Travolta Was Staying Alive While Barely Clothed
Karen Carpenter Died For Your Sins gives you one of my all-time favorite movies in just 5 photos. Far from over, indeed! P.S. I will SO have a post tomorrow.
Foodie Pen Pals: June
OK, this kinda snuck up on me. So I apologize for this very brief post. Foodie Pen Pal Reveal Days deserve a little more thought than this, but, well, this is the due date. I was sent a lovely collection of dips/toppings from Ashlyn in Las Vegas. Here was her note: These are from FreshContinue reading Foodie Pen Pals: June
Jam(s) of the Day!
I stole this idea–no! I mean, I was inspired by John, a.k.a. The Food & Wine Hedonist. He just did a run down of some of the best line dances of our time and I realized that one was missing. This isn’t a line dance, per se, but it always becomes one of sorts–with ass shakingContinue reading Jam(s) of the Day!
Happy National Picnic Day: Potato Salad
Hola, friends! Happy National Picnic Day! This food holiday snuck up on me, so I don’t have anything brand-spankin’ new for you, but here’s a delicious dish from June 2011 that fits the bill. Perfect for picnics and cookouts, and it has BACON (and we all know that bacon makes everything better). Here it is,Continue reading Happy National Picnic Day: Potato Salad
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Brian sends you taco kisses and margarita dreams.
Roast Lamb & Kale Curry a la Leftovers (with chutney Jell-O)
Every year for Easter I have a big ol’ roast leg of lamb. And then every year I end up with a whole mess of leftovers. But that’s not a bad thing because every year I make lamb curry. This Easter was no different. Oh, but this year I added a Jell-O mold. The bonelessContinue reading Roast Lamb & Kale Curry a la Leftovers (with chutney Jell-O)
