    Classics Innovated at The Union Kitchen

    I don't quite understand how after four years of living in Houston, I only just visited The Union Kitchen. And it's only five minutes from my school. Shameful, shameful. My "good restaurant" radar finally picked up on the restaurant after I stumbled on some enticing online photos of its appetizer ... More >>

    Five Cocktails You May Prefer to Mix at Home

    Photo by John Kiely​Classic cocktails are called that, not because they're old, but because they are delicious.

    ​After mastering a tartly correct margarita three years ago, I decided to keep going, and make every classic cocktail that doesn't involve weird liquor. Sixty-nine, so far.

    Rachael Ray's You Won't Be Single for Long Vodka-Cream Sauce: Part 1

    ​Who doesn't love Rachael Ray -- with her big smile, bouncy hair and corny jokes? Even if you find her constant perkiness annoying, she's too nice too really hate.

    Pop Rocks: The Celebrity DUI Conundrum

    ​I've always preferred brunettes. Aside from making me not a gentleman, this simply meant I favored Jaclyn Smith over Farrah Fawcett, Lynda Carter (or JoAnna Cameron) to Deidre Hall, Yasmine Bleeth to Gena Lee Nolin, and Jane Seymour over, well...just about any of the other Bond Girls.
