Life ain’t much if you can’t review your own perspectives from time to time and change your opinions as necessary, Sometimes it’s fun to hide your freshened views and let folks go on thinking you’re a dickhead on certain issues. Other times it’s just better to come clean – especially if …

Here’s a sweet video sidetrack for your day – The War of Game. It involves some actors you may be familiar with, including Ric Barbera. Ric is the 21st Century’s incarnation of the Devil from Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita. Like any good Mephistopholean being he is hilarious; the creativity and …

Mango-Carambola* Tooth Polish

Another hot sauce recipe and the reason for that is that I’ve devoted a couple of posts making noise about ginger and how to deal with it – might as well cough up a recipe or three that include ginger. That and I like hot stuff. And summer is waning so I might as well cling to thoughts of bright, happy foods before winter. December isn’t too far off now and by the advent of that bitter, gray month I’ll be telling everyone that the best, all-around condiment for food is oatmeal.

TIBETAN BBQ – espionage –
 
So I guess they like spicy BBQ up there in political detention.  Oddly enough, this has a lot in common with American ketchup-based barbecue sauces, particularly in the way it’s ketchup-based.  The original bottle of sauce from which I deciphered the recipe says nothing about …

So, early on I made some criticisms of TV chefs touting the spoon as the ultimate ginger peeling tool.  But I neglected to go all the way down the line and trash Ming Tsai’s lesson in mincing the root (See How to Peel Ginger for Ming’s video).
In that clip Ming takes …

Having just written some politically related gunk I figured it needs to get balanced with some silly shit. Go here and watch Ric Barbera play a wizard who saves plants. 

One thing I’d been keen to know was: Who dropped the load in Bristol? Was he some wealthy, date-raping, prep school prick who’d already boned all of Bristol’s friends? Do they have over-privileged kids in Alaska? Perhaps the dad to be is a Southern Comfort swilling salmon fisherman who was too cocked to slip a jimmy hat on before pounding little Ms. Palin. Or maybe, it being Alaska and all, the baby-goo had been “donated” by somebody who’s last name was also Palin.

Hot freakin’ dog! Metallica has finally given us a new single. The richest boys in metal finally decided it was time to serve us salivating dogs a freshly re-heated second helping of St. Anger! Yay.
It’s been said that the geriatric, wealthier than living fuck, whiny thrashers from the Bay have …

I rinsed my hands fast and looked at the lemon. No freaking way. If things got bad I’d have a tough enough time explaining chiles in my kid’s bum to an EMT, let alone a big squeeze of citric acid in there. What the hell was I going to do? Take him outside and put a hose in his rectum? His face had gone purple in agony while I raced into his room looking for some sort of balm

Anyhow, I recently caught a snippet of Simply Ming, starring Ming Tsai. The network must love this guy – tall, prettyboy Asian chef whose smug, captain-of-the-tennis-squad English doesn’t immediately make viewers pull the skin back on their temples and giggle out “Honey! You wan pan fly noodoo tonight?” As the antithesis of Martin Yan and a Chinese-American male embodiment of Martha Stewart there’s nothing funny about him. Viewers are likely to take his show seriously, regardless of any substance in his cooking lessons
