ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Jalapeño Cocktail Hour

Yesterday, I posted photos of an epic grocery trip here in Los Angeles where my friend Malibu Judie and I procured thirty-three pounds of fresh produce and two pounds of shrimp to be cooked over the course of the weekend. Well, on Saturday of this past weekend, we put many of those purchases to use …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: The One Where Natalie Falls Into A Pool Of Her Own Vomit

Shocking news: CBS actually put up some stills from the latest episode of Big Brother. Actually, they’re more like professional photos, clearly taken behind the mirrors. Not great, but better than nothing. Most of the pics center around the endurance competition for HOH, which Russell eventually won after striking a deal with Jeff to keep …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Monster Groceries Edition

There have been many Adventures in Domesticity on this blog, but none rival the size and effort put forth this past weekend in my kitchen. In fact, it was such a process, that multiple kitchens across the city of Los Angeles were employed. Well, only two others really, but that’s still legit. Here’s the backstory: …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: How You Gonna Have Some Poetry With No Poet?

And they’re off! Yes, The Real Housewives of Atlanta are back, and they truly are better than before. The second season premiere hit the ground running in a frenetic, dizzying way — a far cry from those lazy early days of the franchise pre-zeitgeist. It’s almost impossible to recap everything that happened in the hour, but …

Hey HEY Hey: 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' Are Back Tonight!

It’s only been about a month since the latest Real Housewives franchise wrapped up its season, but man, what a boring, dull month it’s been. NYC Prep is okay (I’m entranced by the one girl who looks like she’s a thirty-five year old with baby teeth), Miami Social is a bit ehhhh, and I can’t …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Someone Needs To Shake Up This High School

It’s sad that the only way I can seem to do photocaps these days is if I wait for the one time a week when CBS posts pics from the HOH’s digital camera. Alas, that’s the best we can get; so I guess I’ll make the most of it. Actually, there are some amusing trends …

FLIGHT BLOG: New York to LA Live!

Well, here I am. On another plane. But unlike my recent Alaska and Jetblue excursions, this time I’m on American Airlines, and you know what that means — GoGo in flight wireless! That means that I am writing to you live from the skies, relaying useful and petty information AS IT HAPPENS. The glories of technology. …

MISADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: IndianJones Kitchen Fiasco

My friend IndianJones is a surprisingly adept chef. Despite questionable knife skills (he fears chopping his already small digits off), he can put together a solid meal. Heck, the kid can even bake a thing or two (he supplied our clique, a.k.a. the Lametourage, with homemade soda bread on St. Patty’s Day). But IndianJones’s recent …
