Chocolate Chip-Nutella Banana Bread

This is going to sound strange, and may possibly cause some of you to lose mad respect for me, but this whole Chocolate Chip-Nutella Banana Bread business began with last week's episode of Jersey Shore. Let me explain. In last week's episode, Snooki and Deena get in trouble, and in danger of being fired, for completely blowing off their job and disrespecting their boss Danny.  The usual stuff, right?  But to...

The Popcorn of Your Dreams

Here's a funny fact about me:  I'm obsessed with popcorn.  When I was in high school, I used to eat one or sometimes two bags of microwave popcorn each day.  It was my favorite snack for after school and/or nighttime.  Since then, my addiction has subsided to a normal person's intake of a few bags a month, and certainly with every movie I watched.  It wasn't until a few years ago that I learned about the...
