  • Tummy Trouble from Tuca and Bertie

    Tummy Trouble from Tuca and Bertie

    Tuca and Bertie is a (comedy?) show about friendships, career development (or not), discovering what you want in a relationship and coming to terms with your past and your mistakes. It’s enough to give you tummy trouble. Of course, it’s also a show that features beak watering baking in every episode. Listen, I’m a writer…

  • Why Hasn’t My Twinkie Turned Into Liquor Yet?

    Why Hasn’t My Twinkie Turned Into Liquor Yet?

    Well, it’s been almost five years and…still no liquor. I’m beginning to think that The Simpsons might have been lying to me about Twinkie liquor.

  • Peppermint Patty from Archer

    Peppermint Patty from Archer

    I realize the Peppermint Patty isn’t a particularly unique drink to make in this crazy, weird realm of “making stuff from popular culture”. I’ve seen quite a few others recreate this drink, however in those instances things like whipped cream and shaved chocolate were added. Don’t get me wrong, whipped cream and chocolate are delicious,…

    Red Mocho Kooler from The Venture Bros

    Oh Dr. Venture! So many of your inventions sound amazing on paper, but sometimes the execution of those inventions are…less successful. According to the extremely helpful Venture Bros. Blog, here is how you make a Red Mocho Cooler: “You get Kahlúa and you put in Hershey’s syrup and it’s thick, almost undrinkable. And then you…
