Doublecheck Your Head – for FREE!
12.04.2009

That’s right, friends. Currently available for FREE download is a mash-up of vocals and samples of the Beastie Boys’ Check Your Head album – Doublecheck Your Head, all courtesy of remix master, Max Tannone. I know, awesome, right? He’s also created two Jay-Z/Radiohead mash-up albums that he’s offering up for FREE! Jaydiohead and Jaydiohead: The Encore. And at the mere age of 23, he’s definitely an uber talent in my book! Because even if you don’t particularly care for any of these musical artists, who doesn’t like free music?

Holy S! Thanks to The Purple Foodie, I’ve finally figured out how to make my oven baked fries super extra crispy! I made these last night and they were so good I wanted to slap somebody!

GARLICKY BAKED FRIES
image and recipe via The Purple Foodie
8 garlic cloves, minced
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 russet potatoes (about 8oz each), each cut into 12 wedges
3 tbsp cornstarch/cornflour
1 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- Preheat oven to 475° F.
- Combine the garlic and oil in a large bowl, warming it until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Transfer 5 tablespoons of the oil (leaving the garlic in the bowl) to the baking dish, coating it well.
- Add the potatoes to the bowl with the garlic mixture and toss to coat. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and microwave on high power until the potatoes are translucent around the edges, 3 to 6 minutes, shaking the bowl to redistribute the potatoes halfway through cooking.
- Combine the cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the hot potatoes and toss well to coat.
- Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake, turning once, until deep golden brown and crisp, 30 to 40 minutes.

Flipper discs
12.01.2009

Blu-ray/DVD “flipper discs” are ready to hit the market! They are single, dual-sided discs that have Blu-ray on one side and regular DVD on the other. The Matt Damon “Bourne” trilogy will be the first movies to get the dual-sided treatment, with all three being released on January 19.
I’ve never even thought about this before but it makes perfect sense. We just bought a PS3 and were so excited to watch HD movies on it, but then quickly realized that we also have a portable player for trips that sadly, can only watch regular DVDs. And apparently that’s one of the biggest drawbacks to Blu-ray movies – that you can’t play them in regular DVD players. Which, as we quickly learned, can be a real pain in the arse for locations other than your home theater (car, plane, bedroom)!

Sweet yet perverted.

That is Locher’s Paris. Something your mother wouldn’t wear and your daddy shouldn’t see. Basically, it’s perversion with a touch of class.

Bejeweled!

Giving too much thanks

This is pretty much how I’m feeling after Thanksgiving. Bursting at the seams is a good way to describe it. Good lordy and the holidays are only just beginning. Kill me now.

Cookin’ with Coolio

“[My mom's] fried chicken would literally put on tennis shoes and run the fuck into your mouth.”

Yes, this is actually a real book. From someone who deems himself, “a kitchen pimp” at that. With recipes like “Drunk-Ass Chicken,” the book will change the way you think, and perhaps more importantly, talk about cooking. Just take a look at a few of the new and exciting words you’ll learn:
A.C.P.: Assistant Chef Pimp
Blasian: Black Asian
Dime bag: The gangsta’s equivalent of a tablespoon
Ghettalian: Ghetto Italian
Nickel bag: Half a tablespoon
Pimpron: An apron for a pimp
Pimptry: Pantry
Salad-eatin’ bitches: Vegetarians, or any individual who regularly enjoys salads
Shaka Zulu!: an exclamation of deliciousness or pain, a kid-friendly version of “Motherfucker”
Skin like Hannibal: Peel, as in cucumbers or carrots
Spin it like a stripper on a pole: Stir
And the fun most certainly doesn’t stop there. So run, don’t walk, to your nearest bookstore and pick up a copy for yourself today!
