Ding dong the bitch is dead! Or at least headed back to Staten Island. That’s right, Angelina finally packed her bags and marched out of the crab-den that is the Jersey Shore South Beach home (oh sorry, spoiler alert), thus allowing us to have perhaps a few episodes of peace and quiet before this Florida …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Smoked Shrimp and Peppers
Not only did I receive a salad spinner from CSN Stores this week, but I also nabbed a smoker too. It was a random purchase, and quite frankly, I don’t know what had inspired the decision. I wouldn’t call myself someone who yearns for smokey cuisine on the regular, but the deed was done, and …

Taking Salad For A Spin
As some of you know, the wonderful people at CSN Stores have been sending me gift cards to use on their sites in exchange for me reviewing the products I order. This has proven to be an exciting partnership as over the past few months I’ve procured an ice cream maker, a slow cooker, a …

Of Tag Controversies and Chinese Walmarts
IndianJones, quietly awaiting recognition. About forty-five minutes ago, I posted an item about Chinese Walmarts that had been sent to me by my true friend Neil. No sooner had I posted it than my other friend IndianJones popped up to remind me that the link was in fact “OLD NEWS” on account of it apparently …
