Joe Millionaire Reporting Live

Guest Post By: Oliver Spicer

One of my biggest pet peeves– of which I have many – is the general inaccuracy of the television media. This is, of course, the only media an ignorant blue collar boy from B-Veg ever consumes.  We don’t read papers, we don’t listen to radio, we watch television.

My Life Without Cable


By Andrew

If you’ve been following our earlier posts, you will have noticed that I decided to cut cable television out of my life upon moving into my new place.  This was not an easy decision as I was a Discovery Channel and Nature Channel fanatic, but my final decision was made based on several factors:
  1. Cable TV is fairly expensive if you are living on a budget
  2. TVs use a relatively large amount of energy
  3. It’s easy to waste away the hours staring at useless programming
  4. I have better things to do with my time

by Braeden

Crème fraiche is the French version of sour cream that tastes better and is much more versatile. On the one hand, it is pretty expensive to buy. On the other, it is very easy to make at home if you're up for a low maintenance food science experiment.

Sergeant Pepper, Leftenant Salt

by Braeden

“I'm a terrible cook.”

I've heard variations of this line from dozens of people. W\e often carry negative associations with cooking because of an unsuccessful attempt at following an overcomplicated recipe. The recipes we find in books, online, have 20 different ingredients, none of which we have stocked in our cupboards. To buy all of the spices in the recipe, we spend a fortune, a gross misrepresentation of the amount of savings accrued from cooking meals at home. Making matters worse, the directions are ambiguous and our attention spans do not have the capacity to decipher culinary code come dinner.
