WHAT-A-RECIPE - Lobster Rolls

I actually never heard of Ben Sargent until I read an article on CNN, where this guy from Massachusetts was "shelling out 150 rolls a night from his snug Brooklyn apartment to the lobster-loving masses - well, that is until the Department of Health paid him a little visit and scrubbed his whole shellfish stint."

According to the article, Sargent was offered a job on the Cooking Channel, where he hosts his own show, "Hook, Line & Dinner."

Luckily for me and you, I saved the images from the article, because I didn't want there to be a chance I couldn't find the recipe.  The following images not only offer a step-by-step guide on how to cook a lobster, but a recipe on how to make Sargent's delicious Lobster Rolls.   They really do look quite delicious - I can't wait to try the recipe sometime.

Check out the slideshow I made, it's pretty cool... (enlarge to read the captions)


The recipe and ingredients, courtesy of Ben Sargent are after the jump.

The Tree of Ages

I absolutely love this picture.  It's hard to imagine that some trees can live for thousands of years, but this one in particular is quite special.  

The picture below is a cross-section of a tree in America that lived through Mohammed being born, Joan of Arc, the discovery of our country, electricity, and the civil war, until it was cut down in 1891.

What a Hot Mess: Bang Bang & Boom Boom

I know that July 4th has already passed, but I couldn't help but post this hot mess of a commercial on my blog.  

Seriously?  Who all wants to go with me and visit Bang Bang and Boom Boom?  Oh. My. God. What a hot mess!

Isn't This The Truth? "The Secret's Out"

It's sad, but the comic below actually is quite true.  Why pay for a gym membership, study law, rent a house, or buy food, when you can get it all for free in prison?  I mean, sure you'll have some burly man, cozying up to you at night, but you can't beat the benefits anywhere else.  Everything is paid for!

TNT's "DALLAS" - First Look

If you missed last night's "First Look" on the return of "Dallas" to the small screen, then wait no more... I have the trailer from TNT right here.  If you're a fan of the old series, or remember the characters, this will definitely take you back to yesteryear, and we absolutely loved it!

The preview starts with Bobby (Patrick Duffy) with his all too familiar voice, "All those fights over Ewing Oil, and Southfork. We laid waste to everything in our path, J.R., and for what?”

OMG! This is Priceless!

Entertainment Weekly said it best:

"There was a shot of a liver-spotted hand, then a glimpse of some wildly overgrown white eyebrows — why, it was J.R. Ewing himself! Hagman sat in a chair in a darkened room, looking as though he was trying to turn Southfork into a set for The Godfather."

Most of the lines were from Bobby, but you got a sense of all the drama that would ensue.

“I am sick to death of this family devouring itself over money!” said Bobby.

“No drilling on my ranch!” said Bobby to Henderson’s John Ross.

The Good-looking and hot-tempered son of Bobby and Pam, Christopher (Metcalfe) angrily says, “Oil’s the past, John Ross.”

“Couldn’t disagree more,” snaps John Ross. “You’ll never be a Ewing, Christopher!”

The trailer cuts back and forth between J.R. and Bobby, and the new brood of Ewings.

“I don’t want them to be like us,” said Bobby, talking about the new-new-new Ewings.

And I also agree with Ken Tucker, from Entertainment Weekly, responding to Bobby's suggestion of not wanting the kids to be like them:

"Well, I do. The more the new young punks act like the ruthless barons of the 1980s hit, the better this series will be."

And this is exactly true, the more ruthless and scandalous John Ross and Bobby are, the stronger the show will be.  This is what made "Dallas" a powerhouse back in the 80's. 

It was also great hearing the infamous theme song in the background as the words, “Money,” “Power,” and “Rivalry” blazed across the screen.

You also have sense of betrayal, when a brief close-up of Sue Ellen telling John Ross, "Think of me as your ally," flashes across the screen.

For those who remember the original series, the last 5 years of the show, Sue Ellen was always siding with Bobby, or finding ways to get back at J.R.  So I'm interested to see what she meant by saying "ally" to John Ross.  I mean, he is her son after all, what won't a mother do for her son?

And finally, one of the most memorable lines from last night, “Bobby was always a fool” and “I’m the one who belongs on Southfork. It’s mine, and only mine.” J.R. proclaims.

Don't Make Lemonade!
