Lunchtime Poll: Summer Can Suck It

I know, I know, there are many summer-lovin’ readers out there. BUT. This summer has been brutal and I can’t take it anymore. I love fall, like any good Northeasterner, and I can’t wait to be wrapped in its crisp embrace.

The World’s Easiest Fudge Sauce

I am all about doing really simple, but really impressive, things in the kitchen. And so it was that I discovered that you can serve pretty much the world’s crappiest ice cream, and if you top it with homemade fudge sauce, you are a culinary wizard in the eyes of your friends and family.

Recap: Community, Episode 3.19, “Curriculum Unavailable”

Well, I certainly had been wondering where they were going to go with the “the gang gets kicked out of school” semi-cliffhanger from last week. Turns out, they’re running with it.
