Recipe Sunday: Pasta Amatriciana
Today I am sharing with you my go-to pasta recipe. We eat this meal at least once a month, not only because it is delicious, but also because it is so easy to make. Everyone should have a go-to recipe that you make when you are tired and hungry, that only takes a few ingredients that you usually keep in your pantry. I think the original recipe came from Emeril, and I have tweaked it throughout the years. - Read More -

Photo Phriday: Sock it to Me
Do you go out of your way to look at people’s socks?
Maybe you appreciate a pair that perfectly matches the outfit. Maybe you give an inner fistbump.gif to the dude who dares to wear fuchsia socks with his nice tailored suit. Or maybe you are a Dread Overlord of a self-aggrandizing website and you have a thing for monkeys. Who knows! - Read More -
Midnight Movie Reviews: Summer 2014 Movie Preview

We’ve got a slightly less crowded docket than usual this year with superheroes, AI’s, giant monsters, giant robots, and a talking raccoon, so let’s get right down to it.

Kono Pizza: I Tried It For Science
I usually ignore fast food advertising, but I recently got a flier in the mail that grabbed my attention. A new place has opened nearby called Kono Pizza that serves pizza in a cone. Pizza. In a cone.
New Jersey has some of the country’s best Italian fast food. There’s a mom-and-pop pizzeria in just about every strip mall. You can buy a $2.50 slice or a $14 pie as big as a manhole cover: delicious with a fragrant, firm, yeasty crust that stands up to generous amounts of delicately seasoned marinara and gobs of salty mozzarella, plus whatever toppings you please (unless you’re into freaky things like sweet corn and shrimp. If that’s the case, you can just get on the Turnpike, get off at Newark Airport and fly back to wherever they think that kind of thing is okay). But fast food chains are also ubiquitous, and we have Domino’s and Little Caesars, which has never made any sense to me. So it’s Kono Pizza’s turn to pitch up and give it a try. Okay, why not? - Read More -
Meet “Lammily”, the Correctly Proportioned Average-Sized Doll
We are all well aware of the bizarre proportions of Mattel’s “Barbie” doll. Last year, artist Nickolay Lamm became internet famous for creating this correctly-proportioned “Barbie” doll concept. Building on this publicity, Lamm refined his “real Barbie” prototype and created “Lammily”, the beautifully average doll. And now he wants to crowd fund her into existence. - Read More -
