With the campaign for the 14th season of MST3K falling short of their goal, this year's post-Turkey Day has dry and bittersweet leftovers.

While Joel and Company optimistically regroup, we have 13 seasons to be thankful for - also RiffTrax, The Mads, Mary Jo Pehl, etc.

I liked Denzel Washington. I haven't seen Queen Latifah’s version. Still, I had forgotten how much fun it was/is watching the original Robert McCall - Edward Woodward, his co-star New York City with theme music by Stewart Copeland and an occasional appearance by Robert Lansing.

Virgin Mary with Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives. Can an apéritif be a non-alcoholic beverage? A Bloody Shame.

The Universal Monsters Ultimate Creature from the Black Lagoon Color 7-Inch Scale Action Figure arrives this October. These 7-inch scale Classic Monsters Collection action figure series are top-notch. as good if not better than previous contemporary Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees horror figures.

From my files labeled “tried and true,” perfect meals I've successfully made myself - Chicken Vindaloo. This Indian chicken dish turned out so well. Afraid I would ruin it on the second attempt, I have never tried to make it again.

Chicken Vindaloo: Diary of a Foodie : gourmet.com
Removing the skin from the chicken legs allows the spices in vindaloo paste to penetrate the meat, while yogurt locks in moisture during cooking.

These days, I seldom challenge myself in the kitchen/dining arena; from selecting a reliable non-stick skillet to best-canned tomatoes, Milk Street & America's Test Kitchen can help anyone make more confident cooking decisions. I’m not into meal prep per se. Here is an example.

Reflection on my Michigan memories of a childhood filled with local television often involves significant contributions from outside Michigan - Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Television’s The Friendly Giant and Cleveland, Ohio’s late-night television horror host The Ghoul.

This weekend I miss another HorrorHound Weekend / Mask-Fest in Indianapolis, and it has me thinking about my many monster memories from my many years attending both but especially Mask-Fest.

Howdy from the Mutant Monster Kid at The Hot Dog Place! Hold the ketchup.

Reskeet this with a picture of you, and let the skyline rizz you up.

Lunch in progress. A new sandwich concoction that makes the meat-loving cooks do a facepalm: grilled feta, spinach, onion, tomato, and cucumber on wheat.

Tag your it. I realize hashtags are not active here, perhaps partly to differentiate the decentralized micro-blogging alternative to “you know what” Bluesky wants to be. I’ll still be throwing around hashtags out of habit and hope they will, in some form or another, emerge on this platform. #hashtag

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be. Yet, the days of watching B-movies with some nerdy presenter or spectral character as your guide lives on, and while no longer exclusive to the weekend, it is still a great time to watch horror films!

I watched The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart. I binged Good Omens 2. Somewhere in there saw Shin Masked Rider. Today hope to enjoy Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Subspace Rhapsody. What are you watching on your streaming services? #WhatAreYouWatching

Two weeks ago, battery health issues and charging port problems (related? probably.) and an iPhone 15, possibly in September, prompted me to get my new iPhone 14 Pro Max a few weeks earlier than I had hoped. I like a clean slate. Any app suggestions/recommendations? #newphone #iphone #apps #hivemind
