Fontina has an Ohio heart and Philly spunk. She loves giving you recipes for hearty food, pop-culture puns and a hell of a lot of craft beer. You can find her in the kitchen, at the bar, on Twitter or marathoning episodes of Shin Chan or Bob's Burgers online.
Netflix added Sixteen Candles last week and I’m super stoked. (Apparently so is everyone else. It’s one of the top viewed things on Netflix right now.) I am a big fan of all of the John Hughes movies, but especially the Molly Ringwald ones. That girl is pure magic. Not to mention the music in…
I remember seeing the trailer for Keanu for the first time. I was so unbelievably stoked that we were getting a Key & Peele movie… ABOUT A CAT. My old cat lady heart grew three sizes that day. Make sure to go see it in theaters, TODAY (Friday, April 29th)! Key & Peele on Comedy…
“Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle.” –Jon Snow to Arya Stark before parting ways Game of Thrones spoilers ahead. All the spoilers. Show. Book. Inner-most thoughts of GRRM. Maybe not that part. But run away now if you don’t want to know things. If you’re a fan, the fact has not escaped you…
“Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle.” –Jon Snow to Arya Stark before parting ways This is a blog post about events in the HBO show, Game of Thrones. If you don’t want it spoiled for you, slowly back away now. There are few constants in this world. One I think we can…
When I first started this blog in 2012, my vision was pretty clear. I wanted to make simple comfort food (with a natural emphasis on grilled cheese sandwiches since they are so bomb). Over the years, the website has evolved. Much like my life, it was bound to grow, spread it’s wings, backslide some and eventually expand…
The Bat Cave vs. the Fortress On my recent travels, I came across a couple of restaurants, very similar in style that I wished to review. The style being… stark, heroic, epic… trying to achieve something grand. The first, was a little basement-level space in the city of Gotham. It’s down a dark alley but…
I’d say I have a handful of guilty pleasures, but I don’t really care for the term. I have a handful of interests that lie outside of the spectrum of sophisticated entertainment and I am not ashamed of it. (I actually have way more than a handful of these, but that’s not as poetic-sounding.) I…
Well… I didn’t intend for this to be a Game of Thrones themed dish, but there’s no question that it is. I really just wanted to combine the saltiness of prosciutto and the sweetness of figs in a luxurious and fresh chicken dish. I wanted to roast it in a bit of dark saison to…
If you missed the memo, Netflix has ordered a season of a little diddy called Fuller House: the sequel to the classic from my childhood, Full House. I don’t even know if I’ll watch it … just from the trailers, I’m already oh-so-sick of much they used “how rude” and I think they are relying…
Looking through the thick curtain of trees and darkness, Daryl thought about what he’d done. It had been several months since he left the group and went back down to Georgia. He left behind his family. The only people, save Meryl, that he’s ever cared for. But what could he do? He was so sick…
