The Best Tomato Pie You Will Ever Eat


Several years ago, we heard a recipe for tomato pie on the radio as the Mister and I were driving into the Blue Ridge Mountains to go camping. As soon as we got home, we started looking up recipes and testing them out. This is a savory pie that is a fantastic side for any summer meal. I like it hot, Mister likes it cold. It’s amazing either way. Continue reading →

Scofflaws at the Hedgerow

Police logs in small town newspapers are usually pretty amusing, but by far the best I’ve encountered is in The East Hampton Star. The Star is an old, family-run newspaper that’s got a mix of stories covering small town Hamptons life, such as it is, as well as more worldly concerns. Whenever I’ve been able to spend time in the area, the first thing I do is pick up a copy of the Star, make a giant pitcher of gin & Frescas, and dive into the local police logs. Continue reading →

Crass at the Movies: Love Affair

Don’t call it a chick flick. This classic film has stood the test of time crossing ages and cultures to be remade not once… not twice… but three times most famously as An Affair to Remember starring Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant. Let’s hope it bypasses the current run of Hollywood remakes because if I have to even think about Kristen Stewart and Zac Efron as the leads I might have an embolism. Continue reading →

PhotoPhriday: Show Us Your Euphemism

While I think it has taken time for many of us to swallow all the information offered in yesterday’s OT re: deep exploration of certain activities “down there,” tonight seems like the perfect time to push harder and thrust ourselves into a pictorial climax of sexual innuendo.

Your assignment is simple: go get Freudian and find the phallic and the yonic (yes, yonic, thank god for Google) in your home, office, yard or town and post the pictures here. If you’re too inhibited to expose your own personal euphemisms, feel free to scour the internets: there’s a world of wood and fur and pointy things out there just waiting for you to dive into (or onto, depending on your persuasion).

And when you’re done, don’t forget to wash your dirty little hands. Continue reading →

Web Diving: Steel Stomachs are Required for What Lurks on HorriblePinterestRecipes’ Tumblr

Berf. Like seriously, what are people thinking? Yes, we know Pinterest is the bestest most spectacular website for finding anything from teeny, tiny bedazzled baby shoes, mason jar centerpieces, to, I dunno! Button bracelets or two Chihuahuas sitting in a small pink roadster! Don’t ask. But did you know some of the most disgusto recipes we’ve come across in a long time happen to live there? And by live there, we mean slowly mutating, replicating and plotting to destroy the world with its noxious ingredients and frankly, mockery of all things edible? Like the Crescent Taco Bake shown above. No, we’re not kidding. Follow after the jump if you dare. Continue reading →
