Bio: I'm an obsessive TV watcher, jumping head first into my favorite shows (which have included Twin Peaks, Buffy, Angel, Deadwood, and Lost). I've also been known to force my love of TV onto others. Blogger by night, by day I spend my time designing medical products as an engineer (I know, don't hold it against me).

Pomegranate and Chocolate – Perfect Pairs

It seems like every now and then a certain food becomes very trendy. A while back it was sun dried tomatoes, then portabello mushrooms, and a couple years ago it seemed like Manchego cheese was on every menu I looked at. These days, the pomegranate has pierced the food zeitgeist. I’m not complaining, mind you. […]

Food Network doesn’t want you to forget about Mom – Food on the Tube

Recently an e-mail from the fine folks over at the Food Network came across the computers at the CliqueClack headquarters. It seems that the network is releasing a bunch of new DVDs and they think your mom would love one. Join me after the jump as I peruse some of the titles that I think […]

I hate Girl Scout cookies – Eat, Drink, and Be Snarky

It’s that time of year again! Yes, it’s girl scout cookie season! It seems like everywhere I turn there are tiny boxes of crappy cookies. That’s right, I said crappy.

Ina Garten’s Chocolate Buttercream – Recipe Test Drive

I had been wanting to try my hand at homemade buttercream for quite a while and thought this was the perfect opportunity. I had always been intimidated by buttercream, as most recipes I’ve found looked […]

I’m nuts (and chocolate) about Nutella

I’m always shocked, and a little appalled, when I start talking about Nutella and someone doesn’t know what it is. How can someone live their life without knowing about the existence of this amazing chocolate and hazelnut spread? It’s sweet, creamy, with chocolate overtones and hazelnut undertones. What’s not to love? For my money, Nutella […]

Tropicana bends to my will (and the will of many others)

If you aren’t a drinker of Tropicana orange juice, then you probably haven’t noticed the change in packaging that they rolled out a few months ago. When it first came out, I wrote about the new packaging and how much I hated it. In short, it looked generic and the distinguishing features between each different […]

I am Bob, destroyer of food processors – Eat, Drink, and Be Snarky

That’s right, everyone, I have killed my food processor. I was recently making some super delicious scones and decided to use my food processor to mix the dough. I don’t have a standing mixer and I think that the food processor cuts the butter into the dough better than a mixer can, anyway. The problem […]
