TV. Food. Pop Culture.
As I sat down at the TV tonight, I wondered how Fox would be able to cram thirty-six acceptances into one hour of American Idol. Turns out they couldn’t, which is why I’ve now found myself coming off of two full hours of wannabes laughing, crying, hugging, and occasionally singing. Yes, it was a bit …

I gotta say, The Real Housewives of Orange County was a bit dullsville last night. I have barely anything to say. Wait, wait… nope, I have nothing to say. It was just… bland. The producers have a great cast and all, but when none of them interact for an entire episode, it can be a …

I just don’t know why the videographer didn’t record a longer clip. Bastard. If I had a trampoline, I’d leave all sorts of …

Guess what? Today is World Nutella Day! That’s right, today is the day we celebrate Nutella, that glorious blend of hazelnuts, cocoa, and skim milk. The spread, which has been a childhood favorite of mine ever since I tried it at my friend Ed’s house, can be used in many different ways, but usually, I …
