Sometimes you can't beat the classics. This is one of those instances. Don't mess with latkes! Serve these with homemade applesauce, organic sour cream and freshly snipped chives. Incredible. Simple. Classic. Unbelievably good!INGREDIENTS:2 cups coarsely shredded baking potatoes3 eggs2 Tbsp flour1.5 tsp salt2-3 Tbsp shredded or finely minced onionFreshly ground pepper to tasteOil for shallow

Wow. Deja vu!Is the McCain campaign getting strategy ideas from Batman reruns? It would seem so.

This is a fantastic and incredibly easy gumbo. It's a nice dish to serve if you're trying to please a group that's a mixed bag of vegans, vegetarians, seafood-lovers and meat-eaters. You can make the vegetarian gumbo as a base and then have everyone top it as they please at the table: with soy cheese, shredded Monterey jack, grilled shrimp, sausage, you name it. No matter what you have on top,

Special Guest blog by Jeff!We had a delicious meal last night from a recipe out of a 1970s vegetarian Italian cookbook, authored by the incomparable Romagnolis, the currently out-of-print "Romagnoli's Meatless Cookbook,' about the little-studied, little-known segment of Italian vegetarian cooking called cucina di magro.They call these "priest-chokers." They are little bite-sized balls made of a

My sister told me about this "Daily Show" parody of the annual Barney Christmas video, i.e. our retarded, soul-deprived president's annual attempt to humanize himself with a video of an unwitting and un-consenting dog. (Hello, PETA? Doesn't this qualify as cruel exploitation of an innocent animal?)The actual parody comes in at about 5:30 on the vid if you're in a hurry, but the five minute, 30

"You'll either love it or hate it," has become a total cliche when it comes to describing movies, but in the case of the Russian film 4 by Ilya Khrzhanovsky, it probably holds true. Whichever way you end up feeling about it, it does tend to provokes strong emotions... Considering which, I'm surprised the film didn't seem to make a bigger splash here in the US (maybe I just missed it.It's rare

I typed out "Happy Days are Here Again" in my most recent post, and when I did, it totally reminded me of the existence of this little clip.If you're not happy already, this clip will help get you there. So cute! Why isn't TV still like this?

I don't know any Republican politicians, but if I did, I'd serve them up a nice big slice of this recipe... Humble Pie... to mark the one week anniversary of the best political event of the past decade. (On the other hand, you might find this way too delicious to ever share with Republicans.)It's a great "winter pie" in that there's no expensive fruit or nuts to buy. You probably have everything

Shady's back, ya'll!My friend Cindy brought me about 2 pounds of cherry tomatoes from her parents' garden, all different shapes and colors: red, yellow, green, tear drop round, oval like little jewels. And like little jewels they sat inn my fridge. And sat. And sat. I couldn't think of what to do with them. No one eats that much salad. Finally, I hit upon the idea of turning them into sauce. I

I saw this totally surreal ad for a totally surreal product on CNN the other day.It reminds me of an ad that characters in some dystopian sci-fi movie might be subjected to. You know the kind of movie I mean, like Farenheit 451 or BladeRunner, where mindless masses are manipulated by mega-corporations into buying useless products, drawing attention away from the obvious signs that it's a

If you have a life, you may have missed this little cat fight between the execrable cast of The View and the divine Miss Sandra Bernhard as she goes OFF on Laura Bush. Watch as that blonde-haired fascist clone-freak Whatsername leaps to Laura's defense. Things get downright chaotic.Love her. Love HER!

Joni Mitchell and Johnny Cash are two totally iconic performers you don't often think of together. Here they are performing the beautiful and haunting "Girl from the North Country" on Johnny Cash's TV show in the late '60s.

I don't usually shill for products on this site, but here are two I can't resist putting up on my blog.First there's these cool coffee mugs. Instead of leaving those unsightly coffee stain ringmarks, they leave patterns in a lovely floral design.And then there's this awesome Yoda backpack, allowing the wearer to look and feel like a Jedi in training a la Empire Strikes Back (at least that's the

My recent, very fun trip to New York City planted the sneaking suspiscion in my mind that the prevailing idea that New Yorkers are rude and pushy might be a myth.Now science has confirmed my observation. New York, despite a reputation as a fast-moving, tough-talking town, ranked as the world's most polite major city in a recent study conducted by Reader's Digest (Well, I know it's not the Lancet

I'm not huge on astrology, but it can be amusing and fun, especially when you find that the descriptions of the various sign-types match up, eerily and accurately, with the personalities of the people you know.It's even more fun if said descriptions are sung as groovy pop tunes by a slightly tone-deaf tuxedo dude while a Go-go girl dances interpretively in the background.Follow this link to find
