This is it, kids. The final eight episodes of Breaking Bad are about to drop like a jacked ATM on your dome. Though it should go without saying, I’ll say it anyway: there will be spoilers in the comments of this post so stay out unless you’re watching with us and want to comment. Continue reading
Do you know what’s delicious? Olive oil, parmesan, nuts, lemon and a lot of black pepper. Oh, and something green in the mix too.
Last week I was talking to my mother on the phone, when she happened to mention that my cousin had made kale pesto for the family over the weekend. I promptly filed that away in my head as “something I’d like to try.” Continue reading

Welcome to the latest attempt to get Crasstalkers talking about what they are reading: Book Pub. Once a month, check in with your fellows to see what’s interesting in their literary lives. And get smashed.* Continue reading

The world is filled with accents and so we all have an accent to someone else. Today you’ll practice some other person’s accent. Maybe you’re an Aussie and you’d like to give Jimmy Stewart a try. Or you’re a Yank and want to try on a bit of East London. Go for it. Continue reading
Crassers were way over cronuts by the time the general population was just hearing about them. Good for Dominique Ansel for creating something so good and for his PR team for creating such a hype. I planned to hit up the bakery when I was in NYC in July, but by then people were lining up for hours to just get their maximum of two cronuts. Fuck. That. Shit.

All it took was just a few words from Ryan Adams on Twitter to set Sean Hannity off on a tirade. What could have caused such a tirade? Oh, just this one tweet.
Johnny Manziel is a legend and he’s 20 years old. In his opening season with Texas A&M last year, he lead the team to an epic win over Alabama during the season, demolished Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl, and capped off the season as the first freshman Heisman trophy winner.
Manziel is a hero around Aggieland and all over the country, but just being an athlete isn’t what makes you a legend. The guy rolls around town with multiple fake IDs in case one gets taken up. He could have spent the offseason training and working in his game, but fuck that noise, then he’d just be another quarterback. Manziel is anything but just another quarterback, he’s Johnny F’n Football. Continue reading
