Growing up in the province of Milan, the presence of various panettoni in the house was reliably the earliest indicator that the Christmas season had returned. My father would receive a couple of panettoni as a gift from his workplace, my mother would bring one or two home she received from some the people she visited as a nurse, and my grandmas would always give us some of the ones they received since they couldn't eat them all. Occasionally, right before Christmas, ...

Let’s face it, I’m married with 3 kids and pushing 40. My New Year’s Eve will be spent hunkered in by the fire, watching movies and probably falling asleep by 10pm. The littlest one around here won’t see any need to start January 1st with a resolution to sleep till 9am. The 6 am wake up on the first day of 2017 will come just as it did in 2016. And really, I’m ok with all of this. In fact, it ...

Another year another edition of Brasserie Dupont’s Saison Dupont Dry Hopping. This is the 4th year it’s been released in the United States. I’ve reviewed the previous 3 versions: Saison Dupont Dry Hopping 2013, Saison Dupont Dry Hopping 2014, and Saison Dupont Dry Hopping 2015. Each year’s new edition starts life as the classic Saison Dupont until it gets a special dose of dry hopping.

December is the month for feasting. Aren’t I right? Feasting and treating, indulging and not for one second feeling guilty about it (ok, I definitely feel guilty when I indulge, but it’s way more acceptable to do in December). So with a month pretty much all about festive foods, it got me thinking about what my fave seasonal bites are. So here it is, my top Christmas food picks… Pigs in Blankets – seriously, why don’t we ...

Watch The Primitives lip-syncing their way through Crash on long running Dutch TV show TopPop. They named themselves after the Ersatz band (consisting of Tony Conrad, Lou Reed, Walter de Maria and John Cale) that was put together to try to cash in on the Lou Reed song The Ostrich in 1964 and 1965.

Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I imagine most people are looking forward to some festive holidays of one kind or another. And probably looking forward to the end of this year as well; 2016’s been quite the curve ball, hasn’t it? I’m tempted to take it back and see if I can get a refund. Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, I hope you are feeling as peaceful as this beautiful illustration by P. J. Lynch.

There is nothing better than a hamburger cooked in a screamin' hot cast iron skillet. And, this great american diner grilled burger patties and onions proves that prior statement hands down. You don't need much seasoning when you start with a grass fed ground beef. Then, add some nice sweet onions that caramelize just a bit and still have a hint of crunch and you're on your way to a great dinner.

The kids are all home. It’s snowing. The perfect day for listening to favorite carols, finishing up secret projects, and getting my holiday baking done – nothing like the smell of gingerbread in the oven.

A few months ago, Banbury North Signal Box was a crucial part of the railway network as well as a landmark for train passengers. Now, it's boarded up and awaiting demolition. However, I was fortunate enough to visit on 2 October, the last day before its contents were removed and preparations for demolition began. 

A flight of steps led up to a large, window-lined room overlooking the tracks. The long row of levers were the heart of the ...

“Abandoned Farmhouse”
He was a big man, says the size of his shoes
on a pile of broken dishes by the house;
a tall man too, says the length of the bed
in an upstairs room; and a good, God-fearing man,
says the Bible with a broken back
on the floor below the window, dusty with sun;
but not a man for farming, say the fields
cluttered with boulders and the leaky barn.

Gareth Edward's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story bases its entire narrative upon a single line of text in A New Hope's opening scroll: "During [a] battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR..." And from that little bit of exposition, a film was born. Ultimately, Rogue One functions as a story about those who rebel and the sacrifices, both physical and ...
