Russian JUNKtion
Last week my mom went to Saint Petersburg and she brought me a few little goodies today. In contrast to the countries surrounding Russia, like China and India there’s really nothing good to say about the culinary qualities of the former republic. And for once I don’t think we can blame Lenin and his comrads…

L’Officiel Umamimart Whore Teacup
I was checking up on the backend of Umamimart the other day, and noticed something peculiar– someone had landed on this here blog by Googling the keyword phrase, “whore teacup.” After a little Googling myself, I came to find that Lady Gaga had posted a naked photo of herself on Twitter with a teacup that […]

Happy Hour: Name That Cocktail
 Last week I wrote a post on the CKTL Jam event that took place at the Astor Center in NY, and I promised that this week I would share the recipe for the second of the two improv cocktails I created, as soon as I figured out what to call it. I still haven’t figured out […]

Happy Hour: CKTL Jam! (Plus It’s Hot As Fuck!)
As I mentioned last week, the theme here all month long is HOT HOT HEAT! And judging by the mercury-topping temperatures this week here in New York, it appears Mother Nature keeps up with this blog, because she’s definitely doing her part to keep the theme as relevant as possible. But unlike all the whiny crybabies out […]

I Am Ficus, Need Hot Lay
Fig season is upon us! They are like fleshy pink dewdrop kisses that look like… don’t make me say it. Don’t! … Fine, they look like VAGINA, ok? OK?? Happy now? God, you guys are such perverts! No seriously, they do, right? They are such sexual creatures! Turns out, they really are quite the promiscuous […]
The Plumming Project: Jarring + Clean Up (FML*)
PREFACE: Ingredients + Recipe Prep + Boil I’m not sugarcoating this. I need you to understand what a truly, utterly, and horrifyingly HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS this entire project is. When browsing the I N T E R N E T for recipes, no one ever tells you that this is such a life-consuming […]

The Plumming Project: Prep + Boil
This is one of those projects that I always think I can handle, but it just turns into dread, and ultimately only goes to prove what a huge procrastinator I am. Since I picked up the plums from Christi a week ago, it’s just been this nagging thing that’s been clawing at my brain EVERY […]
