Oh my gosh. Downton Abbey has wrapped up its second season, and I’m in official withdrawal. Literally, when the episode ended, I fantasized for a good five minutes about living in a lush, British country home replete with dark green walls, wooden accents, paintings of hunting dogs, and plaid as far as the eye can …

Hi all! About ten days ago, I posted a contest where one lucky winner chosen at random would receive $50 and other assorted goodies, courtesy of Cash Cab. I was going to announce the results on Banter with Ben and Lisa, but then Whitney Houston died, and the world as we know it changed. Actually, …
Soap operas are in a sad state. I think there are only two? Three? left on the air, and the audiences keep shrinking. Perhaps in an effort to stoke viewer interest in this wheezing genre, NBC has posted an amusing photo gallery titled “Salem’s Hottest Hunks,” which claims to be chock full of “your favorite …

I am 100% behind on all my recapping this week, but hopefully this video will tide you over for a little bit. Great work, Ronnie!
Lisa Timmons (Banter with Ben and Lisa) joins Ronnie, Matt and me to discuss all the crazy Housewives happenings of the week. From Kim’s alleged recovery on Beverly Hills to Vicky’s drunken ferry ride on Orange County, we dissect it all in great detail. Plus, we can’t forget the ladies of Atlanta going on safari …
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve blogged about cocktails (and it’s been an even hotter minute since I stated a blog by saying “It’s been a hot minute…”). Nevertheless, I’m here to buck the trend. Last night, my friend IndianJones and I attended a “tasting bout” sponsored by Tequila Herrandura and UrbanDaddy at Los …
PBS gave us quite the surprise on Sunday. Not one but two crazy hours of Downton Abbey, and they were crazy. The show at times verged on jumping the shark, what with its medical miracles and soapy romantic complications. That’s okay though. It was still highly entertaining, especially thanks to the Dowager Countess who spent …

A month ago, my friend Nicci brought over a humble batch of brownies for the Golden Globes, and within one bite, I knew they were some of the best brownies I’d ever had. I don’t say that with exaggeration. These brownies were darn near perfect – chewy on the outside, fudgie on the inside, and …
