The Bacon Bowl

HOLY CRAP! I can’t believe I didn’t think of this myself.

Megan Reardon (aka: Not Martha) is my new personal hero. 

This has got to be the top nominee (thus far) for the Greatest Invention of 2008:

The Razzies!

February 28, 2008

Now, I’m not looking for any condolences or pity, but I am having an absolutely awful work week.

Thankfully, The 28th Annual Golden Raspberry (Razzie) Awards have come out, reminding me that as awful as my job’s going…it could be worse.

Hops Shortage Spiking Up Beer Prices

February 26, 2008

Severe weather ruined hops production in Europe, causing many farmers to plant corn instead for ethanol production. It all means hops are now going for $35 to $40 a pound instead of the $3 to $5 this time last year.  Barley rates are also up 25 to 40 percent. 

The production costs are just now trickling to consumers.  Whole Foods has posted a sign saying beer customers can expect “dramatic price” increases, about one to two dollars on every six pack.

The Tony B Machine

February 13, 2008

I’m outta town ‘beginning tomorrow (and not comin’ back ’til Monday), so you won’t be seeing any new content ’til Tuesday (unless my party companions can’t keep up – which could happen).

During the hiatus I highly recommend to spend some time over at Tony B’s (click the picture), where you can explore your musical side a bit…

Cookin’ With Coolio

February 12, 2008

“When it comes to the kitchen, I’m on a mission…I’m the neighborhood ghetto witch doctor superhero and I’m gonna make you forget about every other cooking show you’ve ever seen.”

Yup, you read that right. Coolio’s gonna teach your ass how to cook in his brand new internet cooking show on MyDamnChannel.com.

Unlike Martha Stewart or Rachael Ray, though – Coolio goes beyond the normal template of showing simple recipes and instruction. 

Perhaps in a nod to tomorrow’s ominous “holiday”, Coolio’s first show starts slow and easy (great for both the advanced and the cullinary-challenged) with a quick and romantic dish. Its especially perfect if you or your girlfriend happen to be “one of those those salad-eatin’ bitches”.

Click here to watch Coolio (and the Sauce Girls) teach you how to make Coolio’s Caprese Salad - a salad that “looks better than yo’ mama’s titties” and is guaranteed to “get those panties right off”.

Watch and learn people – and remember, “an oily salad ain’t shiiit”.
