When I was stationed in Korea, the Shin ramen was the go to, especially if you added a heaping tablespoon of Korean crushed red pepper, a dash of hot oil and a slice of cheese. The cheese makes the pepper coat the noodles, your mouth, and the rest of your GI tract. I used to buy cases of this stuff.

For a long time I remembered this song as just another angsty 90's tune. It stood out for me most for its creepy Full House backstory and that Dave Navarro and Flea played on it: the song has a killer bass line.

When I was a kid, my mom found a recipe for pork chops in an Italian cookbook (Romagnolis’ Table), with olive oil, rosemary, garlic and white wine, a little salt and pepper, in her electric skillet. Nice little recipe. Unfortunately, she was old school and convinced all pork could give you Trichinosis, so she cooked…

“Lord I am so privileged”

Too bad the Presidents Trophy <> Stanley Cup. Being a long-time Caps fan, I know the sphincter-clenching soul-crushing horror of my team losing in the playoffs after cruising through the regular season.  As for the Bolts, they will need to be ready for the physical game that every team will be bringing to them.  Best…

Damn Julia and her browned pearl onions and lardons of bacon! Never realized till just now that boeuf Bourguignon is just Coq au Vin by another name (and another meat). Oh, it’s on now! With Coq au Vin, once I replaced the browned pearl onions with just, wait for it, chopped onions, and the browning and simmering of…

I’m not a professional chef, only a semi-competent home cook, and my only commercial kitchen experience was washing dishes in a horrible Italian restaurant when I was younger, but his prose and recipes have improved my cooking immeasurably, mainly by infecting me with his swashbuckling attitude towards food. The more…

Is “Human Centipede Devin Nunes” trending yet? The only way this could be better is if the the Twitter handle was “Devin Nunes’ Goatse”

“(the) belief that a too-large suit can hide a pear-shaped body” 

Some years ago, I’m minding my own business having lunch in a Ledo Pizza just off River Road in Bethesda, MD. From my seat up against the window, I have a perfect view down the handicapped spot and into the intersection from the street. I have a square piece of pizza in my mouth (pep, mush, bacon?) when I see a Volvo…

Now you are saying this is just the new-Age version of a Nepalese bus service, with riders hanging out of windows, on the roof, perched on the bumper, or just sitting cross legged on the hood blocking the drivers view, all exceeding the maximum safe capacity by around 1000%, right? When I see a Tesla as it trundles…

I was watching Face the Nation for the first time in forever, and I kept thinking “Damn, CBS is green-screening hair back onto that guy’s fishbulb-shaped head” as I flipped pancakes.

If laughter is the best medicine, lots of the good stuff* down in the comments. Get better soon.

Who let Vox Day in here?

I was hoping that this was a tale of a vasectomy gone awry, but he’s already been down that road. Get better soon, and at least it’s not exploding balls, amirite?

Look, DC sports talk just takes the lead from the game booth guys, who if you just listen to them, the Skins are doing great all the time. If not for the occasional blown coverage or missed block here and there, etc... the Skins would have executed that play just perfectly, instead of throwing a pick, giving up a…

Since he’s Dan Snyder’s Jim Acosta, until I noticed the lack of gratuitous snarky commentary about Redskins ownership, management, the pimping out their cheerleaders or selling 8 month old World Cup beer in the bathrooms, I was thinking this had to be a Dave McKenna piece. That Lauren was able to craft a neutral report…

These shitty videogame movies almost always make money, and can frequently make a lot of money.

All I want is Lil Jon to have Dave Chappelle, Colin Kaepernick, and Dennis Rodman on a panel discussion show. I’d watch that.

Shake scratch it more than twice, you’re playing with yourself.
