Two quick things about me. I love Harry Potter. I love Gene Wilder. These are relevant to one another, I promise. Just give me a second. So, when I was a kid, we’re gonna say 4 years old, definitely not a teenager, the first Harry Potter movie came out. I hadn’t read any of the…
How psyched/bummed are you guys for Logan tomorrow? Or maybe tentative/bummed, depending on your general outlook and attitude on the Wolverine movies. I’m fucking psyched. I love that they are doing a film that is loosely based on the Old Man Logan comic series. I am SUPER bummed that not only is it Hugh Jackman’s last film,…
Halloween is upon us and I don’t give a flying witch’s ass. I hate haunted houses. They are dark and I’m clumsy. I hate people and these people get all up in your face like it’s their job or something. I hate carving pumpkins. Where is the fun in this? You think it’s going to…
I’m going to be upfront with you. I’m not a full-time food blogger. I have a day job. Sometimes, it’s a time-consuming day job. Sometime I don’t have a lot of time to write a full-on story here about why I made a recipe and what it means to me. I made coconut mango rice…
I guess you could call me a craft beer enthusiast… as in, I’m enthused about drinking delicious beers and lots of them. Not usually all in one setting, but occasionally I over-serve myself. Usually when this happens, I’m out at a bar. I can tell you exactly how it goes down. Around the time I…
When I started Bacon & Legs, I was more of a pun fan than a bacon fan. Sure, I loved it. Who doesn’t? ESPECIALLY recovering vegetarians. It was a remarkable treat. But the blog was more or less about fun comfort food with some wit. A few years later and bacon has woven itself into…
Lots of show spoilers. Duh. Two years ago, I made Lord Varys’ No Bean Chili and Jon Snow Balls to gear up for Season 3 of Game of Thrones. Last year, I dedicated two columns to the Season 4 premiere: A Feast of Ice and A Feast of Fire. Season 5 is fast approaching and…
Spoiler Warning: Maybe don’t read this (or anything else on the internet) if you aren’t caught up. Tomorrow (Friday, February 27th), Netflix is giving us the gift of President Underwood. When the second season ended last year, our favorite southern democrat had hand-crafted and manipulated every situation in Washington to bend to his will. Through…
Saul Motherfucking Goodman is back. I don’t know the stats on how many people watched Breaking Bad, but it was approximately a metric shit ton. While fans of the show pretty much all agree that Vince Gilligan could do no wrong, I’m of the specific opinion that one of the best things he did was…
The concept of comfort food is really dependent on your life experiences. But whoever you are, there’s nothing better than comfort food in the dead cold of January. Personally, I love grilled cheese, mashed potatoes, baked beans, mac and cheese, chicken pot pie… shit, now I’m hungry. Which is why I’m happy I did this……
