TV. Food. Pop Culture.
“LET ME TELL YOU A SOMETHING ABOUT MY FAMILY: we ALL enjoy a good volcano love bowl once in a while.” It’s Tuesday; so that can only mean one thing: time for more Real Housewives fun, and as usual, I’ve got some preview clips. In the video above, Caroline celebrates her wedding anniversary with her …

One of the banes of this site’s existence has been the commenting system, which has always sucked no matter what I’ve done to fix it. It’s still far from perfect, but last night, I installed new commenting software that no longer necessitates leaving the page for the verification process. Now you can submit your comment …
The other day, my friend Howie announced that the Artisan Cheese Gallery would be serving his self-created sandwich vision, simply titled “The Howie.” I had no idea what the Artisan Cheese Gallery was, but after some thorough investigation (ie. reading more than the first line of his email), I discovered that it was a neat …

It’s been a while since I’ve done an Adventure in Domesticity, but I figured that with the debut of The Next Food Network Star last night (starring one of my all-time favorite reality show judges, Susie Fogelson), I owed it to myself and the Food Network to whip up a meal based almost exclusively on …

That’s too bad because they’ve …

Earlier this week, MTV aired a Very Special episode of The Hills. Not only did it serve as Lauren Conrad’s last appearance in the franchise as a regular cast member, but it also ushered in the newlywed era of Speidi, whose nuptials were documented for the world to see. And yes, it was all just …

This past winter, I attempted to grow a lush bounty of parsley, only to have it all die off within three months, the victim of my poor farmer skillz (or perhaps Ikea’s worthless seeds). We’ll never know what exactly went wrong in that lil parsley cup, but I must admit — I was a little scarred …

With E3 wrapping up later this afternoon, I thought we could take a look back at the glory days of the Wii, when the sheer novelty spawned countless YouTube videos of people punching at air and breaking their TVs. Here’s one that’s been unearthed by m_ruv. It’s of yours truly flailing about in the most …
