My orange-colored culinary journey around the world continues! Last week, I detailed my attempts to make butternut squash soup and domoda. Now my cooking adventures take me from East Hampton and Africa all the way to Thailand as I deign to take on one of my favorite curry dishes: panang curry. Sounds daunting. Will I …

As I mentioned last week, Burger King has this nifty new promotion for its new item, the Angry Whopper. Just drop ten friends from Facebook and get a free sandwich! How can I turn that down? Last week, I dispensed of two hapless souls. Over the weekend, I managed to drop four more people. Their …

Last month, while watching Survivor: Gabon, I was inspired to cook an African dish in honor of the veteran reality series wrapping up its run. Unfortunately, I didn’t get around to doing this until about a week and a half after Bob walked away with the million dollar prize. No matter, I was still up …

Second to go down: “Squirtle Squirtle” Reasoning: This Pokemon-esque creature added me a while back, and for some bizarre reason (probably drunkenness), I added it. I always felt I should drop it, but I knew I’d have to wait for the right moment. I’m glad I waited. 20% there!

Last June, I brought you images of an R2-D2 cake baked by my friend Mark Randazzo (with help from his wife Leslie), and within a few days, the thing had gone viral. Well, now I’m proud to announce that according to Starwars.com â€â€Ã‚ the official Star Wars website of Lucasfilm â€â€Ã‚ Mark and Leslie’s cake has been …
Just under eight weeks ago, as part of a Hills promotional tie-in, I posted a contest imploring people to state their worthiness to win $25 of free Sonic fast food. I really didn’t expect much of a response, but I must have vastly overlooked the draw of free food and perhaps underestimated the quality of …
