On Saturday I received one of the greatest gifts ever: Yes, that is an autographed photo of Tom Selleck in a Speedo. And a visor. This was a housewarming gift from my cousin Chuck, his wife Christine, and their boys, Charlie and Henry (you may remember them from my Orioles Magic Cheese Ball). I initiallyContinue reading Best Wishes, Tom Selleck

Yinz Sound Like Jagoffs
It’s official. Yinzer, a.k.a. the official language of Pittsburgh, has been voted the WORST ACCENT IN AMERICA! I am oddly proud. Here is a fabulous example of the horrendous accent: As is this: I chose this Pittsburgh Dad one because I will be making a sojourn to IKEA this weekend–for my new hause n’at. IContinue reading Yinz Sound Like Jagoffs
GIF of the Week (one day early)
I don’t know why decided to start doing these on Fridays. Oh, no, that’s right, it’s because I’m lazy and can’t find the motivation and/or time to write as of late. And, yes, I know it’s not Friday, but in anticipation of tonight’s Steelers vs Ravens game, I thought I’d share this gem from last week’sContinue reading GIF of the Week (one day early)
Joan Rivers’ Toast
This recipe sounds like a winner. Especially the holiday version. Joan was a brassy, brash, resilient, smart, funny, ballsy broad with no fucks to give (and she liked big jewelry). She’s definitely one of my role models. I want to grow up and be this awesome (Birkin bag and shiny scarf included): I wantContinue reading Joan Rivers’ Toast
Oh Hell NOKCupid
It’s been a while, hasn’t it? The last time I treated you to tales of my dating woe was The DejaDate back in March. I know how much you love hearing about my OKCupid dates, so I opened my good ol’ datebook and looked back to see what I’ve been up to since then. Now weContinue reading Oh Hell NOKCupid
It’s an Absolutely Fabulous Friday!
Today marks the start of Pride Weekend here in Baltimore. So it just seemed appropriate to kick it off with something Absolutely Fabulous. And by Absolutely Fabulous I mean, Patsy Stone & Edina Monsoon: How sweet are these tea towels? Yes, they are tea towels. I commissioned them for my best friend Jamie’s birthday. WhoContinue reading It’s an Absolutely Fabulous Friday!
What Would Brian Boitano Do?
Is anyone going to watch the Winter Olympics? I guess I will. I am a fan of figure skating. Although I couldn’t name any of the current skaters. I miss the days of Nancy Kerrigan, Viktor Petrenko, Elvis Sojko, Kristy Yamaguchi, Katarina Witt, and, the greatest skater of all time, Brian Boitano: No, not thatContinue reading What Would Brian Boitano Do?

Happy Birthday, Nicolas Cage!
OK, I am one day late. And for that I feel ashamed. I should really know that yesterday was Mr. Cage’s birthday. Just like I know that today is Elvis’. I had an Elvis post in mind for today (I made dishes from Are You Hungry Tonight?), but it just didn’t happen. Anyway, it seemsContinue reading Happy Birthday, Nicolas Cage!
2013 New Year’s Resolution
Yep, 2013–because this is all stuff from earlier this year that I never published. Oh, go read it. It’ll make sense. January 12, 2013 On cable I just watched “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”–a film I only ever saw once, in the theater. It’s such a well-written, beautifully realized, and wonderfully acted film (really,Continue reading 2013 New Year’s Resolution
The Knoxapocalypse is Nigh! Olive Wreath Mold
So I did another gelatin challenge. Do you remember the first one? When I made the Swedish Jellied Veal? Ah, good times! Well, me and some of my internet friends decided to test our mettle with another gelatin celebration. And isn’t Labor Day–summer’s last hurrah–the perfect day to serve up some Jell-O salads? The correctContinue reading The Knoxapocalypse is Nigh! Olive Wreath Mold
Canape CanaPleaseTellMeThatDidn’tHappen
Dear friends, yet again I am serving up a dish that I can’t really tell you much about. So I am just going to use these canapes as an excuse to further illustrate the clusterfuck that is my love life. I probably shouldn’t even be sharing this story because it is so embarrassing; but it isContinue reading Canape CanaPleaseTellMeThatDidn’tHappen
