I'm not sure I'll get to making all of it, but I am set for the following menu for Thanksgiving. There are a couple of extra chairs at the table if you're interested! Now I'd better get prepping because so far all I've made is the cranberry sau...

So Wrong, But Tastes So Right

2009-11-25T04:10:21Z

Who knew Coolio had a cooking show? On the web, but still... This video is in pretty poor taste, but it's funny and it is hands down the best way to make a delicious turkey. Here's our bird from last year coming out of the fryer. Yum! Last ye...

What I Wouldn't Do

2009-11-19T22:10:07Z

I Don't Like Any Of These People, And Yet...

2009-10-07T21:42:13Z

I don't, or didn't, watch "Jon and Kate Plus 8" and I don't care for Nancy Grace one little bit. Yet, because I am addicted to celebrity gossip pop culture, I am familiar with the lives, dramas and personalities of all kinds of people who I have ...

2009-10-04T19:18:26Z

A Buddhist teacher I follow on Facebook posted this today and I watched it three times, tears of laughter streaming down my face each time. There's just something about juxtaposing this old Laurel & Hardy clip with the Gap Band that cracks me up....

Buddha And The Chocolate Box

2009-10-04T04:54:05Z

Intentional Chocolate. Apparently it's the first chocolate the Dalai Lama ever tasted. It is the founder's intention to "reintroduce the ancient wisdom of embedding conscious intention and love into food." All Our Chocolate is Embedded With T...
