Ooh  it’s like peanut honeycomb candy. Sounds delicious.

Jackie Daytona!

There was an excellent coffee table book a few years back about the album art of Hipgnosis. Well worth searching for.

Wrap a slice or two of bacon around the onion before wrapping and then grill/bake. Oh my.

I love Brown Bread (with raisins). 

Fun fact: TMBG may have given out blue canary nightlights to people who joined ... something.

In a way I like the threat of a double elimination, I just wish there a way to not require one. Other shows (RPDR, PR, etc) have used the double quite effectively when it’s obvious the contestants in the bottom two are both terrible and the others need to have a fire lit under their chiffon. But knowing that with ten…

I’ve been a longtime Noel fan, but when he scribbled a speech balloon on a baker’s sketch containing the work “FUCK” I knew he was going to have some fun with this show.

In the Everything Old Is New Again department, I always felt that Putney Swope in some ways represented a lot of people’s worries when Obama was elected. Did they really expect his cabinet meetings to become jive-talking happenings staffed by gentlemen in their finest pimp attire? Of course not (although I would’ve…

I finally watched Return to Oz after the Scissor Sisters did a song that is purportedly about it, but in reality was about the New York gay scene and the effects AIDS and crystal meth had on it (with bonus Skeksis reference).

For me it’s got to be The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman by Laurence Sterne. Long, rambling, metafictional - hell it’s volume 3 before he’s even born. But in there he gets circumcised by a falling window and Sterne includes quite a few bawdy jokes for an 18th-century clergyman. I’d even recommend the…

I first read it in my early 40's and it really resonated. Ishmael starts off the book basically experiencing a mid-life crisis and resolves to go whaling just for the fuck of it.

My wife is a big Roy Rogers fan, and one of her main reasons is that the drag the toasted roll across the jus roller to slightly moisten to bread. 

Screw that tree scene. Not terrifying, but a helluva good jump scare.

Makes me think of Aomame and want to reread 1Q84.

I saw Paula last fall in concert (a really fine show to be honest) and she told the story in exquisite detail. When I came home I tried to look it up and the best I could find was a Reddit thread about her story and the utter lack of evidence. Very strange.

I’m pretty sure they’ve been friends for a while. I accidentally caught an episode of Triple D where they were visiting Guy’s Johnny Garlic’s. He mentioned developing one of the recipes if not a lot of the menu with the Samster.

It’s such a celebration and then the ending is so poignant. Amazing film.

So what is cachaça supposed to smell/taste like?

I thought it was “and Germany.”
