Skim’s Mac and Cheese

Monday, July 28th, 2008 Food

It’s been a while since Skimkim gave us a recipe and it’s one of my favorite dishes Mac and Cheese. “Blac Ren”
Errbody raves about my Soul Food. Or Southern Food. Whatever you choose to call it. I don’t know how but I’m really good at it. I catered a shoot for Big Daddy Kane and here are the testimonials:

“Those greens were da troof!”
“You ain’t kiddin bout dat cornbread!”
“That mac n cheez…mmmmmmmm…the SHIT. The SHIT (big eyes lookin straight at me, like for serious).” Download Here


I also included a pic of my greens and Kane’s custom lunch: Seared Red Snapper, Mango Currant Salsa & Coconut Sweet Pea Couscous w/ Fiery Red Chili Sauce. Uh huh.

The other pics are from Kat & Ricardo’s Bday Dinner Party we had at my crib. It was like a baker’s dozen all eatin and I was sweatin my ass off in the kitchen, wearing socks w/ flip flops (korean thing). Kat and a few of her friends are vegetarian which I respect so I made everything ok for them to inhale. The menu was: greens (put all y’alls mama’s to shame, sorry), hushpuppies w/ maple butter, cajun catfish, roasted carrots and parsnips, jalapeno & corn cornbread w/ red pepper jelly, okra pickles, and mac n’ fo-cheez. And here’s the recipe!

DJ Duanes “Slow Burn” Stardust Mix

Thursday, July 24th, 2008 MUSIC, Podcasts

Hump_33.jpg
“Energy 2 burn” is the name of the new additional party I host and deejay at South Williamsburg hot spot Trophy bar. This week I will be joined on the decks by one of my favorite producer/dj/people Doug Lee aka Lee Douglas. He’s produced some phenomenal neo-disco 12′ for the Rong, Wurst and DFA labels. We used to throw a serious throwdown together at Capones(RIP) in Williamsburg some 3 odd years ago,so it should be a banger. Here’s a new “Stardust Download Here” mix to hold you in the mean time. Hope to see you out.

The Dark Knight: A Film Review

Monday, July 21st, 2008 ENTERTAINMENT

You heard the Hype, is The Dark Knight the Greatest “Comic Book” movie of all time ?
DK.gif
If you want to put it in that category then yes. Heath Ledgers performance as the Joker?, There will be no other from this point forward. His characterization captures the essence of comic book’s most popular villain.  Ledger’s performance blurred the lines of reality and fiction giving us a glimpse of the demons that may have been conjured up during the intense acting process.  I’m convinced this role challenged him emotionally during filming and made it hard for to adjust to the normal routine after production.
