We’re halfway through Hanukkah and on our way to Christmas. Living in a household that celebrates both holidays, I love combining them and making our own traditions. This year, I did just that by making some Gingerbread Challah. If there’s one thing that always disappoints about gingerbread, it’s that it’s not actual bread. If there’s…
I am by no means a huge Elvis fan. (My uncle is, though.) But I am, however, fascinated with the hubub around the Elvis Sandwich. Restaurants all over the country have some sort of a take on it. There’s even a whole section on it in his Wikipedia page. To quote Wikipedia, which I’m not…
It’s that time of year again where all the nerds step from their dark doorways, blinking into the bright summer sun, donning their bestest cosplay gear and nicest camera equipment, thrusting themselves into the sweaty world of comics, film and television with other like-minded individuals and the actors/writers/illustrators that turned them into the fanboys and…
There’s really no crazy backstory to this recipe. I just wanted to make a lovely little nibble for my more refined friends. I had made a delicious Earl Grey Soda awhile back (the Patrick Stewart-themed Make It Soda). It was mostly well-received, but I did hear from a friend that having Earl Grey flavor in…
I fancy myself a fan of good, hearty Midwest comfort food. I grew up in Ohio and ate fresh-caught fried walleye at my gramma’s cottage, beef and noodles from my mom’s kitchen and broccoli cheese casserole when we went out for dinner. So when I was watching the Chicago ep of Feed the Beast (psst,…
In Ohio, we call them subs. In Philly, we call them hoagies. You can argue that there are subtle differences, but overall, they are the same thing. What you can’t argue is how much it sucks that they are primarily a lunch-food item. No more, my friends. I whipped up a solid, hearty breakfast hoagie…
If there’s one thing I know, it’s comfort food. I grew up on it. My mom always made the best shit. One of my favorites, though we didn’t get it often, was sausage, gravy and biscuits. When brainstorming recipes for DrinkingCraft.com, I like to play to my strengths and try to enhance the already awesome…
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is baking lots and drinking beer. Or at least that’s how I do it, because believe-you-me, you do not want to hear me sing Christmas carols. One of my favorite holiday movies is Elf. Instant classic. Yeah, I went there. It’s heartwarming and adorable with funny moments and…
This recipe originally ran on HoboTrashcan.com. Did ya see Thor: The Dark World this weekend? Didja? I figured a good chunk of you would have. Even if you aren’t into The Avengers, Marvel or comic books in general, Chris Hemsworth draws you in. He could be a weapon in world domination if he fell into…
In my attempt to seem as outdated as possible, I’ve dedicated my HoboTrashcan Halloween column this year to a movie that is ten years older than myself… Young Frankenstein. I can’t help it, it doesn’t age. I’m also hoping that Gene Wilder will follow suit and doesn’t age. That’d be great. I know it’s not…
