In Your F**ckin’ Face, Mayo! Miracle Whip is the Shizz-NAY!

If anyone can find me an embeddable copy of this new Miracle Whip commercial, please let me know. This thing made me laugh out loud, as one of the stranger attempts at edginess that I’ve ever seen.  Yeah, man, my condiment choices have really been limiting me.  For the record: Nobody wants you to tone [...]

How To: Dry-Rubbed Spare Ribs and Crack on the Cob

I’m making dinner right now, featuring the titular ribs and roasted corn on the cob with a version of Diana’s Dijon and Dill Butter Sauce.  The sauce is so good, you’ll need to keep eating corn just so you can feel alive.

All Up in the White House’s Grill…Literally

Regular readers of this blog know that I’m something of a foodie, so you can imagine my excitement at scoring the culinary scoop of the centuminute.  I’m referring, of course, to the apparent Official Cookout Gear of the White House, the Weber Sputnik.

Today’s Quickies and…From ‘House’ to White House

House spoiler alert! Actor Kal Penn was killed off on House last night, paving the way for him to become my newest co-worker, sort of.  Kal will be working at the White House as Chief Tiny Hamburger Procurer.  Or something.  I gotta give him props for taking the pay cut, and right in the prime [...]

Quickies and…Mmmm…Squeeze Bacon

Caleb sent me this.  I don’t know how I feel about it.  Bacon is awesome.  Things that are supposed to be bacon, or bacon-y?  Not so much.  Update:  It is actual bacon.  I’m on board. Birfers birth a new, weirder conspiracy:  Obama made up the controversy to distract everyone from…all the shit they wrote about [...]

I Have Seen Bi-Partisanship!

Its name is “Bacon-Wrapped Banana.” I was watching “Chopped” on the Food Network, and one of the contestants made these. OMFG! I might have to go out and buy some bacon and bananas right effing now. I am drooling like Homer Simpson. So, the bacon is obviously the Republicans. I guess that makes me the [...]
