Regarding the Whole Twinkie Hysteria

Everyone just calm the f**k down.  It's going to be okay.

Peace and ho-hos,

Hey Cupid....Stuff It!

Hi gang,

It's almost Valentine's Day and while some of us will be consuming our body weight in chocolate candy, others will be preparing delicious meals for loved ones.

Is anyone still looking for ideas?  Maybe wishing there was some source out there to provide inspiration?

You're in luck!  My insanely talented friends at Herbivore Productions have a video to help you!  Herbivore Productions makes awesome movies, and now, awesome cooking shows.

Watch, laugh, learn, and tell your friends.  I told my friends.  Hello, friends.

If you like the video, show them some love where it counts....on Facebook.  Like 'em here: Feed The Beast

Enjoy!

How to Carve a Turkey

Watch what this guy does and try to do the same...you'll feel like a champion of poultry.

Less than one week from ultimate face stuffing!

Peace, love & birds,

Melissa

It's Almost Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving!  A holiday devoted to gathering people you love, feeding them until they fall asleep and leaving them with small pox...no...wait....that was just the Pilgrims.  Scratch that last one.

Seriously though, I love Thanksgiving.  A day of loved ones, laughter and food without guilt (did you hear me?  NO DIETS!).  For one Thursday, once a year, we are free to be gluttonous slobs and we give thanks for it.  Amen!

I am hosting Thanksgiving dinner for some LA friends this year and I'm making scalloped potatoes as a side dish.  The wonderful Saveur Magazine website has once again proven to be the golden cooking god at which I bow my mortal head.  Too much?  Sorry, I'm an actor, I'm dramatic sometimes.  Anyway...this video has helped me with the recipe and the most efficient way to prepare said recipe.  Maybe it will help you too.

Look forward to posts about bird carcasses, how gross I find bird carcasses, fall veggies and crying over the next week while I prepare for the annual day of turkeys.

Happy holiday prepping!

I'm in Love...

I love garlic.  It's wonderful and good for you and scares away vampires.  It's one of the best things about eating. 

Know what sucks though?  Peeling that sh**!! 

But now, oh, but now....this champ has shown me a better way and it would be horribly unfair to keep this knowledge secret.

If you already knew this secret, please don't brag.  Nobody likes that.

Enjoy!!
