Yes, I watched this. Damn this Netflix on the Wii is addicting.
What might have been an interesting biopic was marred by an extremely unlikeable modern tale of spoiled white brats whining about their horrible lives in New York City. This is the second such movie that I've seen that stars Meryl Streep, and in both she is the only saving grace.
Any interest in what's going on in the Wentzoverse? Then read on.
I just made lunch, and it looked so damn good I had to share.
The third installment of this serial submits one of cerealdom's most confused—and yet undeniably tasty—grain-based breakfast victuals. Why so confused? How can a breakfast cereal suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder? It can. Read on.
Invariably when mentioning the words "Poland" and "food" in the same sentence here in the United States, people will immediately say and think "pierogi." While these dumplings of potato or cheese or spinach are indeed delicious, there is also a more finely-tuned and in fact complex world of Polish cuisine. A good place to start sampling is one of Greenpoint's most prominent restaurants: Karczma.
In some recent travels to West Africa, I had the chance to relax and take in life at the speed of Dakar, the capital of Senegal. It takes a few days to fall into this rhythm, a less hectic and pressed schedule that is not only physical, but mental. It might be less productive to our standards, but in the end you actually acheive much more and do not drive yourself crazy with frustration. If it happens, it happens.
Every year in late November, the blond Danish masses of New York City gather in Brooklyn Heights for the a chance to celebrate Christmas in the manner they are used to: With massive amounts of open-faced sandwiches?
My first taste of anticuchos and picarones in Perú comes before our visit to the fountain and light show. Before we can sit down though, there is a fight to get us to eat in each particular section.
Halloween is not so far behind us yet. So before all things spectral completely slip from our minds under the crushing weight of recent Election Day, upcoming Christmas, and to a lesser extent the imminent Thanksgiving....let us take a brief moment to look upon a cereal incorporeal for most of the year but found with greater frequency during the harvest season (and at affordable cost, too).
Blueberries and disembodied spirits. Like chocolate and peanut-butter, this humble planet of ours spun many times before someone realized these two things need to go together somehow. Boo Berry® was that means.
In honor of Halloween, I will begin my new serial, Cerealization, with a review of Count Chocula®. I don't normally buy "sugar cereals"—and I was very rarely allowed to have any as a kid—but I may make an exception for the sake of this serial.
Chocolate. And vampirism. Two great things that taste great together.
