I recently purchased Fuchsia Dunlop’s Sichuan cookbook Land of Plenty and have been slowly working my way through various recipes (see pics from my first few tries here). So far I’ve been happy with the results, but it wasn’t until I took on Strange Flavored Chicken that I felt I had truly hit a home …

For the past several months, my friend Sly and I have been trying to see the film Winter’s Bone, but thanks to Sly’s unpredictable nature, we were never able to nail down a time to see the flick in the theaters, and thus we missed it. Thankfully, the DVD arrived in my mailbox last week, …
The Gleeks were out in force last night on Facebook, unanimously praising the Gwyneth Paltrow episode with exclamation-points and raves. There’s so much buzz about the ep, in fact, that it makes the last buzzworthy Glee moment — an a cappella version of “Teenage Dream” — seem almost like… a dream (perhaps a teenage one). …

Usually Lisa and I get together on a Friday to do our nifty podcast, but this time around, we caught up on Sunday night at her place where she not only cooked me up a lovely dinner, but also a generous mug of cocoa. With our stomachs full, we then got around to bantering, and …
The buzz today is that The Beatles have finally come to iTunes. Yeah, yeah, yeah — that’s cool and everything, but what truly got my attention instead was the bizarre and catchy free Discovery Download. It’s a song called “Baby Monkey (Going Backwards on a Pig)” by Parry Gripp. Listed under “Children’s Music” and with …

It’s a good thing I don’t run a NFL Betting Podcast because I can assure you many people would lose lots of money on my predictions (see my woeful fantasy football teams for proof). There’s really only one thing I can bet on with authority when it comes to the NFL, and that’s to never …

What happens when you take a robot penguin and stick it in a pen with real penguins? Flappy chaos followed by bizarre order. I don’t know what prompted this prank (aside from the fact that playing pranks on penguins is, like, THE BEST), but it’s from a Japanese show of some sort; so we really …
