TV. Food. Pop Culture.
Because the weather in Los Angeles was so beautiful last night, my friend Sly moseyed on over to my place, and the two of us ascended to my rooftop where we split a bottle of Rioja which we had purchased in Harbor City as part of our paella adventure many moons ago. Suffice it to …

The Los Angeles crew lost a vital member of its community today. And by vital, I mean “stocky, even-keeled, and generally assholish.” Yes, I’m talking about the beloved IndianJones, who is currently driving northward to the icy climes of San Francisco where he has taken a job with Internet giant Yahoo! (exclamation theirs, not mine). …
Two nights ago, I attempted to make a simple batch of blondies and was met with pure disaster. Well, I shouldn’t say that. My baking follies gave way to the creation of an entirely new dessert / ice cream topping: Blondie Crumble. However, as lovely as that penicillin-esque discovery was, it still could not provide …

In honor of last night’s season finale of Big Brother (photocap to come), I decided to bake some blondies — partially in support of Jordan, but mostly in support of my sweet tooth. Unfortunately, things didn’t turn out quite the way I was expecting them to, and sadly, the blame falls squarely on me. Photos of …

Last night was not only the season premiere of Monday Night Football, but it also marked the triumphant return of Tom Brady, who played his first regular season game since nearly having his knee utterly destroyed last year in the season opener. As you can imagine, this was a thrilling occasion for my friend IndianJones, …

What if the workers at Sterling Cooper were a bunch of Massholes? Well, that’s what this brilliant Mad Men parody envisions. Fans of the show and Boston jerks (ahem, IndianJones) should certainly give it a watch. Language NSFW. Thanks to Plethlaura for the link.
Yay yay yay! Last night’s episode of Big Brother was a thriller for a variety of reasons, and I’m happy to report that I was actually there in the studio live for the eviction. Yes, it just so happened that the one week I got tickets for was the most electric live show of the …
Last month, the good people at Jim Beam contacted me about their new product, Red Stag black cherry bourbon. They offered to send me free booze, and of course, who was I to turn that down (memo to other companies: feel free to send me similarly complimentary bottles of spirits). Anyway, this very adult shwag …
Yesterday, I posted photos of an epic grocery trip here in Los Angeles where my friend Malibu Judie and I procured thirty-three pounds of fresh produce and two pounds of shrimp to be cooked over the course of the weekend. Well, on Saturday of this past weekend, we put many of those purchases to use …

There have been many Adventures in Domesticity on this blog, but none rival the size and effort put forth this past weekend in my kitchen. In fact, it was such a process, that multiple kitchens across the city of Los Angeles were employed. Well, only two others really, but that’s still legit. Here’s the backstory: …
