David Chang & Anthony Bourdain team up for: The Mind of a Chef

 

Found a fun new show to watch that I think fellow foodies will love. Check out the preview above. 

Talking Funny: Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais & Louis CK

Comedy's biggest names — Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais and Louis CK — sit down for a revealing chat on this HBO special. They discuss comedy, how they first got into the business, the merits of on-stage profanity and the science behind getting a laugh.

This is part 1 of 4. Click through to YouTube to see the rest.

The Cosby Sweater Project

This site instantly put a smile on my face. I grew up thinking my father was the Eastern Euopean version of Bill Cosby. And the show overall had a way of making me feel the future would be good.

The Midnight Special 70s Music Infomercial

While trapped in a hotel in Chicago earlier this week due to a cancelled Porter flight – I came across this infomercial for The Midnight Special. I am soooooo ordering this.

Portlandia delivers laughs

 

Going through withdrawl

Do you watch this show too? It's quirky and charming and I love Ken Jeong in it.

Interesting factoid about Jeong – he's a fully licensed MD

Fav New British Show: The Trip

Burned through all of the episodes so quickly that I'm already going through withdrawl!

And now, the Thin White Duke

 

Currently addicted to watching: The IT Crowd

 

Party Down: "This wine tastes like sticks and rope!"

My new favourite show. Seriously funny. Watch it!

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage

As someone that shops daily at Kensington Market and only buys fresh, never frozen, local organic meat from Sanigan's Meat Locker, my neighborhood butcher – I'm was excited to be introduced to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage by my darling MB - who is one of the most sincere and conscientious foodies I know. We've started watching from the beginning of the series, which aired back 1999 and are working our way to the present. So far, I am addicted! Hugh started living in the original River Cottage in rural Dorset in 1998, determined to start growing and rearing some of his own food. Today his efforts have expanded and are as strong as ever. If you're a fan of what Jamie Oliver is trying to accomplish with Food Revolution, this is right up your alley.

Mint and pink with a hit of silver or gold = happiness.

This is Fig Newton – how insanely cute is this cat?


Anna's coat is perfection. Prada me thinks...

First movie I remember seeing in the theatre.

She did that for his birthday. Sweet isn't it?

LOST: "The island is the cork"

Found here.

Still love Tom Baker

I have such fond memories of watching Doctor Who with my brother as a child. I think I developed a fear of spiders specifically because of that show! <:-)

My friend Matt Watts posted a great little interview with the ever charming Tom Baker. Listen to it here.

HBO's Rome – A must see!

There's nothing worse than finishing a good book or a TV series you love – you just never want it to end. This weekend I finished watching season 2 of HBO's Rome and now I'm sad! It was an incredibly gory and sexy series with a production design that absolutely floored me each episode. I don't think I have ever seen a TV show so beautifully shot – it was very cinematic. And even though the second season was not as strong as the first, I would recommend you see this if you haven't yet – it's quality programming.

Hello, Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce

The Mad Men season 3 finale did not disappoint! I love new beginnings and especially the starting of new companies. The dynamics are already changing. I particularly loved Peggy putting Roger in his place when he told her to fetch him a coffee – and of course that Joan is back. Although, I really do hope she negotiates a more significant role for herself. She proved how capable she was running the media department before, so hopefully she will take on something more stimulating than being the office manager.

With regards to Betty and Don, I'm glad that their loveless marriage is finally over. That said, how totally creepy is that Henry Frances character?

If you're a fan of Mad Men:

Came across this nifty little blog that deconstructs episode themes, ads, fashion and art with examples from the period.

MAD MEN starts soon so I iconed the whole family...
