For the safety of myself and the people around me, I need to get the fuck on outta here for a minute.  I’ve never fought anyone in my life, but I’m pretty sure I’m a good week away from murdering your face if I don’t get some sun and fun up in my life, for [...]

As you may have noticed, I am primarily a bourbon and whiskey drinker. The Brooklyn, one of my all-time favorite bourbon cocktails, is a fine warm-weather treat, but due to the magical warming properties of whiskey, fits the bill perfectly year-round.
Recently challenged to make The Brooklyn, a somewhat labor-intensive cocktail served straight up in a [...]

There are a lot of theories as to why people find things funny. According to an anonymous Austro-Indonesian Pastor’s wife on the venerated site www.answerbag.com, humor or “humour” as she cleverly refers to it is “subjective”. While that may be true in Indonesia, and she might actually be a pastor’s wife (show me the ring), [...]

Since we never had the traditional wedding, we wanted to do something significant so we could finally celebrate this relationship with our friends and family. Initially, we looked into having a party in an event [...]

Fake It to Make It

No, not love-making related faking.  I know you might have thought that since The Holiday is upon us. But yeah no, I’m not really going to write anything about that. Not in, like, a bitter way or anything.  It’s just that I’m single and have no creative ideas to suggest, so go have dinner and [...]

New Year’s Eve just isn’t New Year’s Eve without that *POP* of the cork. All year ’round, whenever I crack open a bottle of bubbly, I say (usually to myself) “Happy New Year!”
For some, though, drinking champagne all night long could be a dangerous and/or costly proposition. By mixing things up a bit and offering [...]

Especially if you’re in tight quarters, or on a budget, mixing custom drinks for everyone you’re entertaining (or for yourself while you wrap) can get exhausting, messy, and expensive. Serving one “specialty” cocktail is always a good way to avoid the headache (and price-tag) of an “open bar” at your place. Today’s cocktail recipe is [...]

Always a fan of fried potatoes with salt, I love latkes, but due to the fact that they contain eggs, I rarely get to enjoy them. OMFGstyle contributor Ann Cohen, in the true Hanukkah spirit, generously shared her mom’s potato latke recipe with me. I was faced with the challenge of veganizing it. I have [...]

It’s Part III of It’s The Freakin’ Vegan, and today I’m here to discuss the cornerstone of any successful spread, vegan or non: pickles n’ olives. Oh, and I threw in some miscellaneous vegan snax that are easy and crowd pleasers. I hope that’s ok with you.
Olives
