TV. Food. Pop Culture.
With Yom Kippur finished and my stomach full of food again, I now return to blogging with none other than a Project Runway photocap. Wednesday’s penultimate episode was quite good, and I must say, when it came down to who was going home, I really didn’t know who’d get the ax. Thankfully, the one I …

Over the past several months, Starbucks Coffee has been revamping its stores and practices, and among the many changes customers have seen, one of the most peevish has to be the new plastic lids used for cold beverages. At first glance, they look like all the other standard lids, but upon further inspection, these plastic …
In a campaign littered with ridiculous controversies, here’s one that ranks near the top of the pack in terms of sheer silliness. The issue at hand: Newsweek’s un-retouched cover of Sarah Palin. According to Republican media consultant Andrea Tantaro, the brutal close-up image is a “clear slap in the face at Sarah Palin,” especially when …

Bravo kicked off its third iteration of the Real Housewives franchise with the premiere of The Real Housewives of Atlanta last night, and it did not disappoint. Despite a frenetic first half which betrayed the show’s signature laid-back tone and pace, the episode eventually settled into its groove and provided a wonderful showdown between breakout …

I was really hoping that CBS would have some photos up from last night’s HI-larious Amazing Race so I could do a photocap (so much material!), but alas, the webmaster over there seems to be a tad slow/lazy, and as a result, there are no pics. Even worse, they’re not even streaming episodes there after …

As my Big Brother posts decline in frequency, an inversely proportionate amount of cooking entries seem to be popping up on my blog. Such is the case with this latest adventure in domesticity in which I endeavored to cook an entire Rosh Hashanah meal all by myself. Why did I take on this mammoth feat? …

I may not have been writing about it as intensively as before, but Mad Men still rocks my world. Last night’s episode was no exception, even if Joan was once again kept on the sidelines. That’s okay though. She doesn’t have much to do most episodes, but her handful of lines and furtive glares usually …

Last night’s Saturday Night Live will certainly be remembered for its hilarious Vice Presidential debate parody, but also deserving plenty of attention is this gut-busting take on The Lawrence Welk Show. Again, it all comes down to Kristen Wiig, who absolutely sells her role as, well, I don’t want to ruin it. Enjoy.
Saturday Night Live has been on a much publicized role with its coverage of this fall’s campaign season, and that’s mostly thanks to Tina Fey’s instant classic take on Sarah Palin. Last night’s episode proved no exception with a razor-sharp opening skit that skewered not only Palin, but Joe Biden and even Gwen Ifill (played …
