TV Connoisseur: TV Dinners and Dishes: Watching LOST for the First Time (Part 2.5)
http://tvconnoisseur.blogspot.com/2010/06/watching-lost-for-first-time-part-25.html
Saturday, June 26, 2010. Watching LOST for the First Time (Part 2.5). Finished the first four eps of Season 3. Will have more insights later. Just a quick comment to make:. She is so badass and awesome and you totally know she's secretly tortured, but not in an annoying Kate way. Not to mention, I don't even know why, but even though she totally emotionally tortures Jack in his little prison cell, I ship Jack/Juliet hard. Not simply a girl/love interest, and that's incredibly refreshing. Also, she wishes...

Monday, October 27, 2008. Recap: Smallville 8x05 "Committed". Chloe and Jimmy have one of those photo cakes which I totally hate because even though the photo part is edible, it takes like plastic. What's wrong with delicious frosting, America? Not novel enough for you? Jimmy cuts off Sugar Photo Chloe's head. Now that's what I call foreplay. The next thing you'll tell me is that bacon is bad for me. Mmm. Bacon. Jimmy Olsen hates puppies. There. I said it. That douchebag.". Also, how effing. Lois wakes u...

Saturday, March 28, 2009. The Shipping News: Nate and Vanessa. Oh, show. Why are you equally amazing and frustrating? I agree that the plot of the "The Grandfather" was mostly flawed (really, Serena? You haven’t talked to Dan in a week? Don’t you have school with him? Why is Dan even hanging out with Nate and Vanessa? And Chuck, remember when you used to try to rape people and now you’re too in love to have Blair “that way”? Vanessa was actually an incredibly supportive girlfriend in this episode. I mean...

Saturday, September 27, 2008. Recap: NCIS 6x01 "Last Man Standing". This week had just about everything I ever wanted. It was a great season opener, definitely better than last season's fake Tony death which was so contrived and unbelievable and stupid. Although I would have liked to see a little bit of mourning for Jenny, the story and all of our players put forth such a great show. I'm really excited about this season. And DID she. Her voice is beautiful and she looked SMOKING. Who were you meeting?

Thursday, May 14, 2009. Smallville "Doomsday" Play-by-Play: TiVO Style. So since there was a huge wait on the TV Room today due to an inordinate amount of finales ( Bones. I had to wait until four hours later to start watching the season finale of Smallville. I have managed to avoid all discussion of what has happened, so I am full of anxiety and dread and have NO IDEA what's going to happen. Watch as my faith in the show is either restored or smashed to pieces! It's going to be a trainwreck, people!

TV Connoisseur: TV Dinners and Dishes: Pasta Risotto-Style with Spinach and Mushrooms
http://tvconnoisseur.blogspot.com/2010/06/pasta-risotto-style-with-spinach-and.html
Saturday, June 26, 2010. Pasta Risotto-Style with Spinach and Mushrooms. So this recipe is loosely based on one from the New York Times. Columns, and this one in particular really caught my eye. As a college student on the run (thank you, stage managing/research assisting/class taking), I was always looking for quick and easy ways to make things flavorful. Cooking pasta in broth? GENIUS. In no time at all, I was suddenly elevated from pasta with. 1) I'm cheap and. As are most people, right? Getting the p...

TV Connoisseur: TV Dinners and Dishes: Watching LOST for the First Time (Part 2)
http://tvconnoisseur.blogspot.com/2010/06/watching-lost-for-first-time-part-2.html
Saturday, June 26, 2010. Watching LOST for the First Time (Part 2). Just finished Season 2. Seriously. It feels like it's becoming a way to a) crudely shock the audience and b) keep the monstrous cast budget down. First of all, Mr. Eko/Charlie is totally Locke/Boone v. 2.0, only without Boone's beautiful eyes. This does not bode well for Charlie. What also doesn't bode well for Charlie? Moment she had sex with Sawyer to get his gun? Did the show not realize the kid was going to grow up a lot faster than ...

TV Connoisseur: TV Dinners and Dishes: Taco-Stuffed Tomatoes
http://tvconnoisseur.blogspot.com/2010/06/taco-stuffed-tomatoes.html
Tuesday, June 29, 2010. How can this go wrong? The answer is, IT CAN'T! This is a little more intensive than most of my meals. Stuffed foods take a lot of prep work. It's just sort of a fact of life. But they are totally worth it. Servings: 1 (with some extra filling to nosh on). Also, beef and celery. Side note: Uncle Ben needs some oil-absorbing sheets to get rid of that shine. Onion (a 1/4 inch slice should be enough). Garlic (1 small clove; I used half a large clove). Beef Greatest. Meat. Ever. PS So...

TV Connoisseur: TV Dinners and Dishes: My Life with Food: An Introduction
http://tvconnoisseur.blogspot.com/2010/06/my-life-with-food-introduction.html
Saturday, June 26, 2010. My Life with Food: An Introduction. I finally decided that I would try my hand at food blogging (I want to call it flogging, but that might be insensitive to Paul Bettany in The DaVinci Code. Not that I readily associate myself with anything Dan Brown related, but I can't resist Mr. Bettany's unrepentant awesomeness). I've always loved food, but until about a year ago, I didn't have a lot of experience when it came to cooking. Luckily, I had the pleasure of having two wonderful a...
