[Note: Stock Photo Used as I didn’t take photos of this dish for some reason] Now, I love Mexican food. I don’t eat it as often as I’d necessarily like but it always hits the spot. The thing is, other than Tacos I rarely make Mexican food at home. Which is a shame, because it’s…
In what might be history’s most audacious case of “dress for the job you want, not the job you have,” Charlie Chaplin plays both a mild-mannered Jewish barber and his exact doppelganger, Adenoid Hynkel, the power-hungry dictator of Tomania (subtle, Charlie, real subtle). Our story begins in the trenches of World War I, where our…
Part of a side project where I’m sketching / drawing various D&D monsters based on images from the monster manual. Seen here is a brass dragon – frequently seen in deserts and quick talkative (according to the lore)
Alright, homies and hustlers, strap in and pass the dutchie, ’cause we’re about to dive deep into the smoky, bass-heavy world of Dr. Dre’s “The Chronic.” This ain’t just an album; it’s the sonic equivalent of California rolling up the entire early ’90s in a blunt and hotboxing hip-hop for generations to come. Dropped like…
My father is an immigrant from a town near Naples called ‘Torre Del Greco’ or Tower of the Greek in English. I’ve seen old black and white photos of the place and have heard a few stories but I’ve always wanted to go to there. Especially since I have family there I’ve met only once,…
OK – this one was a gimme. In fact, I was seriously considering making it 100 books since I’ve always been a heavy reader – as a small kid I remember sitting up at night with a flashlight reading cheesy sci-fi novels under the covers to get that little bit of adventure before going to…
Alright, cool cats and jazz aficionados, it’s time to dim the lights, pour a finger of whiskey, and lose ourselves in the sublime soundscape of Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue.” This isn’t just an album; it’s a portal to a smoky, late-night realm where time slows down and every note hangs in the air like…
Alright, gather ’round, you jingle-jangle morning chasers and poetic puzzle enthusiasts. We’re about to dive into the lyrical labyrinth that is Bob Dylan’s “Blonde on Blonde.” This isn’t just an album; it’s a Rosetta Stone for decoding the human condition, wrapped in a double LP that’s as thick as a Midwestern accent and twice as…
Buckle up, Beyhive, because we’re about to dive into the sweet, sour, and downright electrifying world of Beyoncé’s “Lemonade.” This isn’t just an album; it’s a cultural reset, a visual feast, and a masterclass in turning personal pain into artistic triumph. When “Lemonade” dropped in 2016, it didn’t just break the internet – it made…
Alright, space cadets and glam rock aficionados, strap yourselves in. We’re about to blast off into the stratosphere of musical innovation with David Bowie’s “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.” This isn’t just an album; it’s an intergalactic rock opera that’ll make you question your sexuality, your fashion choices,…
