David E. Talbert’s ALMOST CHRISTMAS & Philly Holiday Bake Off
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor TINSEL & TINE JUDGES PHILLY’S“ALMOST CHRISTMAS” PIE BAKE OFF Well, the holidays are upon us again. More and more every year I wish I could hibernate starting on Thanksgiving through Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day, only to emerge in time for Easter. I can picture myself in a cozy cabin somewhere in Nantucket, I’d try my hand at making all kinds of soups and breads; I’d enjoy short brisk walks, and warm myself with mint hot chocolate; I’d get my acrylics out and get back to painting; I’d read an actual book or two, instead of articles and reviews; of course binging…

Foodie Film: SAUSAGE PARTY
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Technically, There’s No Such Thing as X-Rated Food, But This Does Give a Whole New Meaning to The Term Food Porn Seth Rogan, Evan Goldberg & Jonah Hill are some lucky, white, man boys to be able to indulge their sense of humor and create exactly what cracks them up, no holds barred.
