Bigger Dinosaurs Vs A Badder Vest.
"Stay Back! You must obey for I wear the mighty vest."
The problem with Jurassic World isn’t just the awful
dialogue or its nauseating predictability, it’s Chris Pratt’s vest. Allow me to
explain.
In the beginning of the movie, the camera pans high above Jurassic
World Park. It’s an aerial camera shot that reveals twenty thousand visitors

Rolled stuffed pasta is a long process, but that shouldn’t
deter you from making it. I came up with
this recipe because of my obsession with seafood and smoke: two flavours made
in culinary heaven. In this recipe, the
seafood is clams and shrimp; the smoke is there by way of bacon. This rotolo

The Film: Lone Survivor.
Nationalism, propaganda, and blatant patriotism all define
The American War Film Genre to varying degrees. Lone Survivor has all three traits
in nauseating abundance. So nauseating
in fact, that to not kill someone after watching this movie would be
un-American.

Sine qua none refers to an ‘indispensable and essential action, condition, or ingredient.’

On my last visit to
Pasta A GoGo I was overcome with sentiment upon tasting Robert Bergola's Pappardelle.
I’ve never had finer pasta, and as such, I was inspired to compose this Ode. It

I’m proud of my French heritage and I
believe more people should feel the same way. Let me be clear: when I say
people, I’m referring specifically to Anglos, Allophones and immigrants who
live in Quebec; and by French Heritage, I’m referring to the art and honour of
speaking French.

intrinsically take an opposing position-labels have a way of The Hungry Italianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13045290143003669231noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747371437962438074.post-69599364637997727272014-03-30T16:38:00.000-04:002014-03-30T16:38:34.252-04:00Spaghetti Con Salsa di Maiale Ubriaco.

I haven’t posted on this blog in two months. Cooking seems to have lost some of its spark
for me. I no longer yearn for the smell of garlic or the sound of a sizzling

Local peppers can still be had. Look for Quebec peppers at the box-super-markets (not the corporeal ones that say Tabarnac, rather, the green and red vegetable variety-known in French as poivron) This recipe is simple and fast, just like this article. I should also mention that there's a lot of bacon in this dish-now I got your attention.
