Forking Fantastic: a Cookbook for the Rest of Us

Recently Oliver, our Resident Bargain Whorespondent, introduced me to someone saying, “This is Stuart, he cooks less than anyone I know”.  Which is probably true.  Just last night I convinced…ahem, attempted to convince my lady that I was a culinary genius because I made an aioli out of Sriracha, mayo

Go to Fish Bar and be Happy

My friend said he was “free like a bird.” I pointed out that we were at Fish Bar, and he shouldn’t be talking about birds. He then claimed to be “free like a fish?” We decided it was best to stop changing cliches to be about fish. Then he said,

The Patriot Saloon

Nothing Comes Between Me and My Bean Bag

The other day, I was pondering what the greatest invention of all time has been. Penicillin? Ground breaking, but what’s a little syphilis between friends? The light bulb? Sure it all fun and games, until it’s last call at the bar and they flip on the lights for you to
