04.19.08 by Widge @ 2:46 am  Here's something useful. No, really. If you find yourself with nothing to eat but a cryptid of some sort, and you're keeping kosher, what's off limits? Never fear: Evil Monkey is here and has consulted an expert. Pope Lick Monster - A: "I don't know what that is." EM: "I think it's a monster that licks the Pope." A: "If it's licking the Pope, it's probably treyf."
Is the choice of quoting that one in honor of somebody visiting New York? Maybe. But I wouldn't lick Palpatine. I mean the Pope. Sorry. Categorized as: Food

04.14.08 by Widge @ 12:22 am The Great American Dessert Experience hit Atlanta this past week. And they promised coffee, tea, and dessert. So you know damn well we were there. Like we could stay away. There were dessert demonstrations, competitions, and more...but we wanted to check out the wares of the exhibitors. Here's some highlights:  Wine Cellar Sorbets had an interesting array of products. First…well, you can guess what came first: their namesake. We tried out a Pinot Noir sorbet and it was excellent. They also have other variations, like Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangria Rojo and Champagne. They also have the Van Gogh line of gourmet sorbets, and they're all caffeinated. Because when I think of Van Gogh, I think of…well, never mind, I don't know the connection, but that hardly matters. You could have called the line of sorbets Steve and I wouldn't have cared. Tried the Espresso Chip and it was exceptionally tasty. Dark chocolate bits, smooth taste of coffee (surprisingly smooth) all in a sorbet. Nicely done. Their website is here. Categorized as: Food

02.02.08 by Widge @ 4:10 am  You know, after our last YGAW (Your Government at Work) post about energy drinks, I'm sure there were some of you out there that thought, "Gee, Widge, things aren't that bad with government. It's just Kentucky. That's one state. Surely it's just the lawmakers in Kentucky that have inserted their heads up their own rectums." Right. Submitted as Exhibit B: House Bill 282 from the State of Mississippi. The following text has been retyped to actually be in upper and lower case letters so it doesn't look like the bill in question is shouting at you even though, in reality, it is: "An act to prohibit certain food establishments from serving food to any person who is obese, based on criteria prescribed by the State Department of Health; to direct the Department to prepare written materials that describe and explain the criteria for determining whether a person is obese and to provide those materials to the food establishments; to direct the Department to monitor the food establishments for compliance with the provisions of this act; and for related purposes."

01.13.08 by Widge @ 4:42 am  Our love of all things classic Muppets is second only to our unhealthy obsession with zombies. So we rejoice in these furry monster cupcakes, which Evil Mad Scientist Labs took a step further and dubbed "Mupcakes," an allusion, of course, to this. Categorized as: Food

01.09.08 by Widge @ 1:41 pm  Coming in February to the Food Network, it's the new Culinary Masters of Horror line of TV movies. A pair of twins, who want the same man, come to a bitter and sweet end...find out what happens when Willy Wonka meets House of Wax. That's right, it's John Carpenter's HOUSE OF CAKE. The two taglines being used for promotion are "Here Comes the Bride...and a knife to serve her with!" and "This red velvet tastes a little funny..." ... Or, you know, it could just be a woman who got a wedding cake that looks like her. But which sounds more interesting? Categorized as: Food
