Back in late April, I posted about Oxo’s garlic peeler, promising that I’d give a free one away to whomever submitted the best tasting garlic-centric recipe. I shockingly did not receive a huge amount of submissions, but nevertheless, there were entries, and I did eventually whittle them down to two finalists. The contenders: RachWho?’s Roasted …

The Huffington Post just ranked five excellent choices to enjoy a summer cocktail outdoors in Los Angeles, and now I feel compelled to add to the list. Suggestions after the jump.
It may be the height of summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, but it’s the Holiday Season on Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Big Brother is back, and based on the first episode, I think we’re going to have a fun summer. CBS has delivered us eight new contestants and six returning ones, and so far I’m really digging the blend of personalities. We’ve got Shelly, the tough-as-nails mom, who I already love. We also have Cassi, who’s …

We’ve all written off LuAnn De Lesseps’ latest trifle as something of a drag queen treatise on the good life, but here’s the surprising news: LuAnn isn’t releasing her spoken-word songs on some random label willing to cash in on her reality fame. She’s actually with Ultra Records, which also is home to the omnipresent …
