How To Make Stuffed Mushrooms.
Here’s my recipe for stuffed mushrooms, which has gotten a surprising number of requests. Like at least three.
I make these for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year, because my habits are my comforts and if you fuck with them you die. (And also because it’s one of the few dishes my family completely trusts me with.)
You can take my directions as general guidelines. The beauty of stuffed mushrooms is that they’re incredibly hard to get wrong, no matter what you do to them. Do not fear the stuffed mushroom. Read More…
Classic Christmas Commercials, Volume 9!
I’ve curated another batch of ancient Christmas commercials. Keep reading if you enjoy Chicken McNuggets, Chex Mix and copper top battery testers. Don’t if you don’t.
McDonald’s: Scrooge’s Christmas! (1984)
Ebenezer Scrooge is so giddy over Chicken McNuggets that he drops his usual humbuggery to become the host with the most, pushing McNuggets on everyone from Santa Claus to semi-transparent ghosts.
Okay, THAT IS THE GREATEST.
This was just one of several McDonald’s commercials that presented Chicken McNuggets as the go-to appetizers for holiday parties. I’ve not once seen that happen in real life, but as a kid, the idea fascinated me.
Whenever I imagined adults celebrating Christmas, it was basically the office party from Scrooged, but with 20-packs of Chicken McNuggets all over the place. It still sounds like bliss. Read More…
10 Awesome Things About Home Alone!
It’s been a blink-and-you’ll miss-it holiday season so far. Thanksgiving is in less than a week and Christmas is barely more than a month away. I can’t stand it.
Maybe I’ve been spoiled by those three month Halloween celebrations, because I feel like I don’t even have time to listen to Wham sing their song. Guess I should try to stop and smell the roses, and hope that the roses smell like peppermint.
The good news is that I’m finally over the hump with this uncharacteristically busy November, and ready to let Dino Drac glow red and green on a more frequent basis. (Just in time for 106.7’s annual switch to Christmas music — yes!)
Let’s get this party started with a brand new episode of The Purple Stuff Podcast! This week, me and Jay from The Sexy Armpit pay tribute to Home Alone, one of our favorite holiday movies. (And really just one of our favorite movies period.)
We tackle ten awesome things about the movie, and almost none of them are super obvious. From Buzz’s amazing bedroom to Little Nero’s delicious pizza, it’s an hourlong Home Alone love fest.
Give us a listen by clicking the giant, ugly play button down below!
