Lazy Matzo Ball Soup
Nothing wrong with semi-homemade food. Life gets in the way. But resorting to a box or can doesn’t have to completely suck.
I love Matzo Ball Soup. But I always crave it unexpectedly. The problem with pre-made stuff is that it always lacks the little touches. A.D.D. Matzo ball soup needs three things to make […]
Andrei Codrescu & his bellydancing, burlesque friends

I’m working on a cool project w/ the L’Pow girls I hope to announce soon.
From the event’s description: “You probably know him for his sardonic wit and addictively rich Romanian accent on NPR. But tonight you will be introduced […]

Not About Wine: Afro Samurai
A little line cookie before bed:
Spike TV interests me not, but Studio Gonzo interests me greatly. They have a new animated series on the aforementioned network, called Afro Samurai that plays loose with samurai anime, throwing in a little steampunk and hip hop and Samuel L. Jackson for good measure. That’s right, Jackson plays Ninja […]
Bubbles To Get You Through Nuke-U-ler Winter
…or at least Friday. OK, a few days back I did a mini-review about the Segura Viudas Aria Pinot Noir Cava, the black label. It’s different from the Normal Aria Cava you see by the glass and on the shelf. It’s pink and delicious.
But I’m following up on that minx because dammit if it didn’t […]
Climate Change and Your Wine, nah, just the Grandkids’
whoa.
It’s like all those territories in Risk that are a bitch to keep–Urals, Yukurtsk, Northern Territories–are gonna be perfect for Pinot Noir in 80 years.

Note to Haters:
Listen, I don’t accept snail mail from unknown sources. I consider it rude, stupid, an invasion of my privacy, and borderline stalking. If you want to send me an email asking if you can mail me something, go ahead.
Hard to understand my position on this? A) Tough shit. and B) I don’t care.
But just […]
I eat my words. Medium-Rare, with onions & Cheddar
Childless by Choice am I, but I will brave the little snot-sacks for some things, like kick ass beer. My apology to the most excellent Elliott Bay Brewery Pub:

Two Sucks, One Blow, and a BIG WOOT!
ONE: It’s too bad that Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations sucks. His PNW show was, blimey, so boring. He didn’t used to suck…until his producers sucked the life and spontaneity out of him. Gnaw your arm off, Tony. Get out of that contract, and produce your own show for public television.
TWO: The movie Perfume both sucks […]
