eggplant is such a pain in the ass to get it the right consistency.  But moussaka is like, the best.  I make a version that blitzes in some kale in the sauce (for extra healthiness) and substitutes greek yogurt for the topping.  Mmm.  Might need to go back on the rotation.

@avclub-4f18f486a356810b3ef8008243bcba7a:disqus I also don't like frying stuff and frequently buy the frozen breaded cod from Trader Joe's.  And then feel all virtuous about baking it.

Real question: How do they get it chicken flavored?  Are they coated with ground up bullion cube? Fried in salty schmaltz?

The mouth of my Teddy Ruxpin fell off mid-story.  God, that toy was crap.

@avclub-a452630477eb936fd36fc9a9542d4598:disqus for that, Taylor Swift has condemned you to hell using her magical country-pop-harpy powers.  The wisdom of Katie Couric  (who is "brave and inspirational" for leaning forward while interviewing and pretending to be sympathetic) must be followed!  The Swift demands blood…

Hey, having the studio make you redo it takes time and money.  Nothing's more expensive than first go-around incompetence.

@avclub-33beffd09a1b020d1187c6b4b264014a:disqus you've just successfully crowd sourced the pitch for the Final Destination Reboot.  Congrats!

I used to be able to recite it entirely from memory.   Every time I get to this:

I unapologetically love Tennyson.  In a fit of grief (larger than life grandfather's illness and the subsequent family disaster), I started laying in bits and pieces of Ulysses with Dylan Thomas's "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night."  I am still surprised by the fact that it kind of, sort of, worked. 

This is my favorite historical slam poem: HD for the win!

I'm waiting for the race-bending article and ensuing whitewashing controversy.

Once upon a time, I attended a capoeira demonstration lead by Robert Thompson, a 70 year old art historian.  It was possibly the best thing ever.

Take it easy Bob!

@avclub-554c0a0cbf2801f5b0ae39d67b921606:disqus that episode did happen!  there were people with red turbans and cows pregnant with human fetuses in both episodes and they aired one after the other on a Friday night.

I thought the same thing.  ABC's considering her pilot so…yeah.  It ain't gonna happen.

I really wanted Rebel Wilson to be part of the cast for an American remake of Pulling. 

TV Execs are a sad and desperate lot. 99% of the things they say yes to fail outright.

@avclub-af08cd66f82d1b9317433323b7c69320:disqus How would that work…?

@LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus I got an All-Clad dutch oven ages ago that's the battle axe of my cooking repository.  Expensive as hell, but super easy to care for. I also have a lodge enamelware dutch oven that's got the benefit of being a pretty orange color and being inexpensive.  
Staub's are great, but their colors kind…

@avclub-97d6c074b974838257db17a02f8784c4:disqus 1) Only you know if you're ready.  When I broke up with The College Boyfriend, I spent a year trying to figure out who I was outside of my relationship and was a horrible flake (or worse) for all the poor schmucks who ended up in my orbit.  And that was for a…
