Hello, my name is Jhames

My job is to make pretty things.

Hearsay: Why, that’s just crazy talk.

Double Chocolate Cupcakes with Pistachio Buttercream

March 31st, 2010

Jesus, is it already the end of March? I swear time is flying out the window. Well, we’re here together now, so let’s make the most of it with another vegan recipe. From me to you. Using my vanilla cake recipe, I made its cocoa counterpart and folded in 2/3 cups melted chocolate chips. A cake this decadent deserves an equally sinful frosting. And nothing says “Oh. My. God.” like chocolate and pistachios. Don’t believe me? Make a pistachio marzipan sometime and coat it in chocolate. We’ll talk after you change your drawers.


Hard to be Goode

August 20th, 2009

My friend Phiam was good enough to promote The Goode Family on his Facebook profile (yay social media!), otherwise I would have missed what is the best animated series ever delivered by Mike Judge. I was never a fan of Beavis and Butt-head and I rarely watched King of the Hill, but I couldn’t get enough of The Goode Family which showed on ABC Family. If you never heard about this show, allow me to quickly bring you up to speed.


Holy Fuck

March 23rd, 2008

I went to a show last night in Williamsburg, Brooklyn’s A Place to Bury Strangers opened for Holy Fuck. While this video is good, the sound is nothing compared to how amazing they sound playing live. Total Sonic Annihilation to the nth degree. Download their album on eMusic.
