While You Were Sleeping…I was cooking my ass off you lazy bastard

White Christmas and Miracle on 34th Street have been playing as a double feature for the last couple of weeks on the Sundance Channel, so I tried to get into the classic holiday movie spirit (like Rina) and settled in for some “inspirational” viewing.  Four hours later, I was less than inspired to come up…

Small Dice Challenge: Rotisserie Chicken, Part 1

My husband purchased a toaster oven recently, because our microwave caught on fire.  It involved a sponge and me pushing the cook button instead of the timer.  Microwaves really aren’t good for you anyways.  So, apparently, my husband liked that the oven had a lot of special features on it.  Of course, I don’t know…

Small Dice Challenge: Gigi Edition

It’s almost Thanksgiving, and my family came up from Texas to visit.  My mom, aka Gigi, who I have mentioned before, is a master in the kitchen.  She always kept us well-fed growing up and then some.  I decided to challenge her for this week’s Small Dice.  I chose the following: Organic Dark Sweet Cherries…

Follow the Nose

  In Ocean’s Thirteen, nothing smells sweeter for the crew than revenge, especially when it involves getting justice for one of their own.  This time the one who has been wronged is Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould), who is conned out of his rightful stake in Vegas’s newest and brightest hotel casino The Bank, by his…
