An empty pantry is the mother of invention, right? On a warm evening a few summers ago I promised my daughter s'mores, forgetting that I had used the marshmallows the day before for making Rice Krispies treats for a family picnic. I had the grill primed for roasting those marshmallows and panicked when I opened the pantry to find no 'mallows in sight.
In a moment of pure desperation I threw a few of the leftover Rice Krispies treats on the hot grill and then topped the slightly charred squares with shaved chocolate. The results were nothing short of magical. The Rice Krispies treats charred slightly on the outside, making them crispier and chewier, while the interior became soft and gooey. Honestly, they didn't even need the chocolate.
This moment of panic has since become my most beloved backyard barbecue treat and something I look forward to making again each summer.
I am going to this and I am so excited. More excited for this than I am for Beyonce and Jay-Z, for reals. When I was in middle school, Nickelodeon started showing reruns of the Monkees and I used to go to Aimee Wainio's house after school every day to watch. We've seen every episode multiple times together and next month she's coming here to go to the show with me. <3
From the earliest days of the Monkees, Micky Dolenz and Michael Nesmith had a special bond. Their harmony blend was a crucial part of the group's signature sound, and on the group's television show they shared impeccable comic timing and loved nothing more than to go off script and improv with one
A woman who accused Formula One driver Kimi Raikkonen and a member of his entourage of sexually assaulting her at a bar during Montreal’s 2015 Grand Prix weekend is now the subject of a police complaint from Raikkonen claiming harassment and extortion, according to reports. But the woman who made the allegations on…
Not so sure about the tv show, but this cover is excellent
Kelly Clarkson adds a gospel touch to classic rock hit "American Woman" in her new version of the 1969 Guess Who song.
The track opens with a lush vocal arrangement before erupting into the song's signature blues-rock guitar riff. The Voice coach adds a modern touch to the single with
Fuck you Bill Clinton. You don't have to come to grips with shit. That young woman you took advantage of has been living her life as a joke for the better part of 25 years now and you can't even fucking apologize to her?!?
UPDATE: Bill Clinton said he "was mad" at himself for how he handled a Today show question about the #MeToo movement and his affair with Monica Lewinsky during an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Tuesday. Colbert asked Clinton if he wanted a "do-over" on his answer and pressed the former president to address how the #MeToo movement has changed how he
Man, falling off an escalator in a mall is the LEAST rock & roll way to die.
Josh Martin, who was the guitar player for Anal Cunt circa 1996-2001 and 2006-2011, tragically died in an escalator accident on Monday night in a Providence mall. According to reports, Martin fell off the escalator and into the food court, where he suffered severe head trauma. He died later in the evening. A witness told police that Martin was “clowning around and riding the rail of the escalator.” Martin is the second person to die on an escalator at that mall. Martin previously made news last Fall by heckling Gene Simmons. At that show, Simmons was being awarded the keys to East Providence city, and Martin yelled out things including "“Ace is better than this!” Simmons went out into the crowd to apparently fight Martin, but no actual blows were exchanged.
When filmmaker Bart Layton first began to investigate the story of four young men who tried to steal $12 million worth of old books from the Transylvania University library, he intended to make a documentary. Then he started exchanging letters with the guys, who were – spoiler alert – sitting in prison, their crime having failed spectacularly. That's when his plan changed.
OMG YES. We had this weird smell in our basement for a while. I thought some kind of animal had gotten in and died somewhere. It was there for weeks and driving me crazy. Finally my aunt was visiting and said it smelled like bad breath (?!?) and not dead animal, so that helped us narrow it down to the food shelf. Turns out my mother-in-law had put some garlic into tupperware to "save" it. It was horrifying, we had to throw out all the non-canned foods on the shelves to finally get rid of the smell. It was a giant relief though!
Okay, a few years back my eleventh grade Chemistry class began with Ms. Serevetas handing out textbooks. A small woman wearing big glasses and a big labcoat, she just introduced herself and then began calling us up, one by one, to the front of the room.
It was the first day so nobody had the guts to just start talking or playing games in the back. Honestly, we just sat in mind-numbing silence while each person shuffled up, signed their name, collected their ratty old book, and shuffled back down.
It was a slow and painful ordeal until something really funny happened: one guy’s book stunk.
Honestly, it just really stunk. It was terrible. A steamy hot funk filled the room and people started giggling. Some laughed, some pointed, but Stinky-Book Guy stared straight ahead, pretending nothing was happening.
Unfortunately for him, the buzz and chatter quickly built to a point where Ms. Serevetas was forced to take action. She did so by looking up at Stinky suspiciously, and then scrunching her eyebrows with a pained grimace until he was finally forced to began fanning through the pages while everybody stared on in anticipation.
And remember: we were bored out of our minds here so this Mystery of the Funky Textbook captivated us like nothing else. The room got quiet and tense and everyone craned their necks and stared at the stink, the book, and the guy, with tingly anticipation.
Stinky-Book Guy fanned through the pages slowly at first, and then quicker, and then quicker, until a few pages slapped real fast and told us all that the mystery stench had been found.
So we watched with teeth clenched as he peeled back the page to reveal an old … rotting … piece of salami.
Yeah, apparently someone had the good idea to drop a thin slice of cured meat between two pages on Boyle’s Law for a nice, long sit in a musty storage closet all summer. Now that once beautifully speckled slice of spice was gray and slimy and smelled like a fish market the Tuesday after a long weekend.
Anyway, at this point there was only one thing to do and Stinky-Book Guy did it: he bit his lip, nodded forcefully, and then peeled that salami off, walked over to the garbage can, and dropped it right on in.
And so — whether it’s the old can of salmon in your kitchen garbage pail, the toilet that didn’t get flushed before a long vacation, or the pool of dirty water collecting under the carpet in your basement, how does it feel to find that stinky treasure and just ditch real fast?
One makes delicious grilled food and the other is for lazy people who hate themselves.
The battle of charcoal versus gas grills is one for the ages — and the grilling enthusiasts in your life are sure to have strong opinions. But if you're considering buying a grill for the first time or, perhaps thinking about making the switch from #teamgas to #teamcharcoal (or vice versa), what are the key factors you should consider? We've laid it all out here.
Dog Party have announced the release of their fifth album. It will be out June 30 via Brat Music and is called Hit & Run. The band released ’Til You’re Mine in 2016.
Hi! It’s me, Editrix. I hear you guys have been wilding in the comments, and generally sniping at each other like it is Twitter instead of the world’s gentlest momblog, and that you maybe need a good nap and a stuffed bunny.
I don’t have a nap for you, and our stuffed bunny’s taken, but I figure here is a cocktail and I stole it from here. If you’re a Friend of Bill, smoke some weed instead!
Noble Hostess calls this “The Griffith” for some uppity place in Los Angeles, but we call it a Golden Poppy because it feels like home. The recipe is SO EASY, but first you got some liquor to buy.

Shake them with ice, and don’t drink anything else all summer or ever again.
Because you guys, we are all so tired. We’re all exhausted. It feels like they’re winning, and we’re losing hope, and we’re taking it out on each other and ourselves. And we can’t. We have to go out in the sunshine, and breathe, and drink a lovely beverage and pat a cat or a dog or a child or a husband on the head. Have some sex if you can stand it. Watch some (non-politics) TV if you can’t. Get a massage. Take a walk. Be in touch with your body and look at the moon.
Because we’re not going to make it if we’re turning on each other — and that goes quinfuckingtuple for Bernie v. Hillz. Nice things have happened yesterday and today! The courts are with us! Primaries turnt out as fuck! Michael Cohen WILL go to jail, and our hearts WILL go on!
In the meantime, be gentle, Terrible Ones. Because 50 people canceled their Wonkette accounts in May, and since I don’t want to worry that they lost their jobs or we just suck now, Ima have to blame you.
Stay gold
Drink up, cheers, we love you, NOW BREATHE and have your OPEN THREAD!
Padma Lakshmi, holy shit. OMG. Seriously. Look at her. LOOK AT HER.
I’m going to be honest: I had to turn off the Billboard Music Awards a few moments in, unofficially because Westworld was starting, officially because I could not deal with Kelly Clarkson as host. That doesn’t mean I didn’t flip to the ultimate queen and my birthday twin Janet Jackson when she performed; it does mean…
This is why I won't swim in public pools. I am so grossed out by this story, OMG
Hotels set the stage for nearly a third of all disease outbreaks in the United States linked to chlorinated or treated water -- such as pools and hot tubs -- between 2000 and 2014, according to a new government report. During that 15-year period, a total of 493 outbreaks linked to treated recreational water were reported in 46 states and Puerto Rico, the report indicates.

We're just a couple of short weeks from the unofficial start of summer, which means it's almost time to start thinking about covering ourselves in SPF 10,000 and spending Saturday afternoons at the beach or at the pool.
It's also time to start thinking about how we'll let everyone else know that we are LIT MILLENNIALS, which means we'll either have to talk loudly about our avocado slicing injuries or mention that we're getting VIP tickets for the Pizza Museum.
"Squad anthem", Rolling Stone? Why are all the articles about queer women so goddamned coy? There's literally a lyric in this that goes "I steal your bitch and have her down with the scissor". IT'S ABOUT LADIES FUCKING EACH OTHER, ROLLING STONE.
British pop singer Rita Ora stakes her claim for song of the summer with "Girls," a catchy squad anthem featuring Cardi B, Bebe Rexha and Charli XCX.
Reminiscent of Jesse J's "Bang Bang" or "Lady Marmalade" from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, "Girls" showcases each vocalist's distinctive style, from Rexha's nasal coo to Cardi's hilarious assertions ("Tonight I don't want a
