Two Word Reviews: Innis & Gunn Canada Day 2012 Beer

Innis & Gunn Canada Day 2012

Innis & Gunn Canada Day 2012

Those two words?

Oh. Yes.

Said in the following style.

Note this is only a two-word review temporarily, because I liked the bottle they sent me to taste so much I finished it all without taking notes and ran down to the liquor store to get more. They were sold out. Further, possibly somewhat more refined, tasting notes coming soon. PS: if you can’t get this stuff in your country, I pity you.

Merry Christmas Cookies!

Remember this year to OccupyChristmas and support home-made goodies over store-bought ones. Hey, with the jobless rate it’s not as if you have anything else to do with your time!

Here’s how to troll Big Cookie and triumph in your (secretly competitive) neighborhood cookie wars:

Fantastic! Now that that’s sorted, we can move on to building home-made gingerbread houses and quaffing eggnog with Hannah from My Drunk Kitchen.

White On: what a fruitcake

Sure, a lot of people hate fruitcake (a lot of people whose friends need to buy more expensive fruitcake). But really, to challenge one to a rap battle?

I think, as well, to then lose to the fruitcake? That, my friends, is no way to celebrate Christmas.

Oh Little Lard of Bethlehem

That’s not kosher!

HalloWHAT?

Women laughing "alone" with salad Halloween Costume

Women laughing "alone" with salad Halloween Costume

If you’re at all like me (and who would admit it if they were?) you’ve got a stack of Self magazines head-high taking up the space where your life-size Aragorn used to stand proudly, and what have you got to show for it except an exhaustive knowledge of the phytochemical composition of any grocery item, the ability to perform a flawless  plié squat, and about ten million pictures of Women Laughing Alone With Salad.

Well, now you can put that collection to practical use as the model for a cheap and un-constricting Halloween costume! Bonus cultural literacy points for timely meme reference that only about 25% of your friends will get, even if you’re all on Tumblr.

If putting on and keeping on a happy face is too much for you, then you could always fall back on our suggestion of last year.

Happy Fourth of July from Manolo’s Food Blog!

There’s nothing like a summer picnic, is there?

Here’s wishing you all bright colors and delicious foods in great profusion!
