In (and Out) of the Kitchen with Kyle

On the Shaking of James Robinson: My guest appearance on Comic Geek Speak

The rumors you may have heard are all too true: the poor boys at Comic Geek Speak got so very desperate for something new to talk about that they invited me on to their recent and regular Previews episode.  I tried not to upstage them -- and I think I pretty much failed.  Oops!

I won't say the episode isn't full of in-jokes and references that my dear husband won't understand, but I WILL say that we discuss many controversial issues, such as:

• What to get your homosexual, action-figure-loving friends for Christmas,
• The real reason Murd is so irresistible (hint: it's only partially about the sideburns),
• And what author George R.R. Martin can expect if he ever has the misfortune to meet Tasha Deemer away from his security detail.

We also discuss the finer points of Superman and Batman vs. Vampires and Werewolves. As you might imangine, it is a  very brief segment.

This one's got it all!  Give a listen to the best comics podcast to be nearly destroyed utterly by a gay guy from West Virginia.

 

 

World Peace: Now available in San Francisco.

Devotees of Dorie Greenspan and her world-famous (literally) World Peace Cookies take note: Dorie is coming to Omnivore Books on Food in San Francisco's Noe Valley on Saturday, 10/16 from 6-7 pm! She's promoting her new book Around My French Table. 

I can't possibly miss this event: Dorie's book Baking: From My Home to Yours is a staple of my collection and is the kind of cookbook you can curl up in bed with -- full of personal stories and advice that makes you feel like you're having a lovely conversation with her over coffee and sweets, which just happens to include  full recipes. Plus, she has made me a minor (heh) celebrity amongst my friends, thanks to the popularity of the transcendently-delicious World Peace Cookies. She's like my Elvis!  OK... maybe Robert Kirkman is my Elvis, but Dorie is at least right up there!

Who wants to join me for this event?  It's the same weekend as the Alternative Press Expo, but hey... I can do comics and food in the same day!  Why not?

Please ping me if you'd like to join in the fun. I may even have the temerity to take Dorie a little box of something I've baked -- currently I'm thinking Brown Butter "Chestnuts," since I've just mangaed to find another jar of chestnut paste. 

Who is with me? Let's give Dorie a San Francisco welcome that'll have her forgetting all about Paris! Also too, get autographs.

Forget it, Jake. It's "Countdown."

I've done it once again! Flying in the face of conventional wisdom, friendly advice and common sense, I have again made an attempt at amusing you masses by making fun of something I love deeply: comics.

I've been writing for a while on an occasional basis for the Prism Comics website, in a feature called "Queer Eye On Comics," where we geeky homos do our best to write funny about our favorite subject while driving traffic to the site and brining still further shame on our poor families.

I've managed to put together a sweet manifesto on characters, events, and whole publishers that I think we're pretty much better off just forgetting all together. And it's not who you think!

 
OK... so maybe it is who you think.   

Anyhow, you can find links to my previous "Queer Eye" articles in previous posts on this blog:

• The Bitch Is Back! And by "bitch" I mean Nekron, Lord of the Unliving. Who else?
• What Would Jesus Rate This Resurrection? And does he really agree that Donna Troy should just go away already?
• Final Crisis Explained... Final-LY! Warning: contains no actual explanation.
• Out of the Closet with Uncle Jack  In which I "out" one of comics holy icons. Oopsie!
• ¿Quien Es Mas Macho? Secret Invasion or Final Crisis?  The answer may shock you. Or not.
• McCain & Obama: Two Big Dicks  Fun fact: they make comics about politicians. Wow.
• It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's a Ripoff!  Ever found a copy of Action Comics #1 at the Salvation Army? Me neither.
• "...AND the rest...!"  Links to all my previous posts to the Queer Eye series, and brief descriptions of each.  It's Kyle's mildly-irritating idea of humor... you're soaking in it!

Happy reading... and FORGETTING!  Especially about Kitty Pryde: Agent of S.H.E.I.L.D. That's just common sense.
