Hi! It's Jenny Kim, and guess what, I ate all the pizza!

While it wasn't explicitly listed as a New Year's resolution for this year, I have been making a conscious effort to do more cooking at home. Although, I usually let myself off the hook during the work week when I generally don't get home until 8 and it's all I can do to even swing by a Wendy's and order the #6 combo (plain, with a Diet Coke and a cup of chili). Sundays are always reserved for a quiet night of cooking and watching Iron Chef America. And while my cooking ability has but modestly improved over the past few years, my appreciation for the time, patience, and effort required for delicious and honest food has grown by leaps and bounds. Anyway, this past Sunday I took another stab at the elusive art of pizza-making. The sauce and dough were made from scratch using organic ingredients. And let me say that kneading dough may be the cheapest therapy you can find. I think I have a few more iterations to go before I get the recipe just right, but all in all it was a pretty damn tasty pizza.



And one more thing while I'm on the food subject, why is it that all canned soups that aren't Chicken Noodle or Vegetable soup taste like chemical snot?

In what is the best music news I've heard in months, Rage Against the Machine announced that they're re-uniting to perform at Coachella this year! I never thought I'd use to word "necessary" to describe a band, but in these bleak times, RATM is one fucking necessary band.

So, I guess the television renaissance even spilled over to SNL, as it is apparently funny again! Here's a sketch of a few handy lessons about sexual harassment in the workplace, brought to you by the irresistable Tom Brady:



And one more thing while I'm on the sex subject, I saw this Zipcar ad while reading DCist today:



Where the hell are they getting that number from? 350 HOURS a year having sex? HOURS. In one year. That is like, an hour a day. I don't even think that my constantly horny married friends are having quite that much sex, and they have ready-access! Here's some advice Zipcar, next time don't depress your target consumers with ridiculously bogus statistics in your advertisements; who wants to think about renting a car when they're too busy thinking about all the ass that they're not getting.
