YUM!!






Ginger Twin India Red Ale will officially be available this friday in growler format at the brewery. 22oz bottles will follow next week, and then make it out to the world in bottles and on draft.

It tastes delicious, assuming you enjoy the hop cones and deliciousness.

Cheers,

Half Acre Beer Co
Chicago, IL




sounds DELISH! i have already been won over by the half acre lager and half acre over ale, so i have some high expectations for this beer. A true chicago gem!

(also a great way to seperate actual chicago folk from the terrifying "i love 312" wannabes.)

the TRUE ginger star of the olympics!


(other than me, having 3 gold medals for fabulous winter appearence, freestyle and long routine!)

I always thought curling was joke, until because of my friend john forcing me to come to the bars and watch with with him, i fell in lovveeeeee with it! AND i stumbled onto the ginger breakout star Cheryl Bernard of the Canadian womens curling team! (she's the one on the left! you know, the only ginger one!) and, not only is canada kicking some ass (they have a good shot at taking a medal home!) but they have earned the support of gingerfoxxx....i have never even been to canada!

Cheryl gets some mad props from me - seeing as how a lot of women curlers present themselves to be something less than fabulous.....cheryl always has her hair did and her face made up. As any fabulous ginger should!

I am cheering for you Cheryl....go for the gold, for gingers everywhere! (and because you just look so much better than shaun white....i mean, no contest...)

shaun white...gold medal....yawn.

Shaun White won the gold for snowboarding. go usa.

i am obviously only posting this out of obligation. its not like there is anyone in the world that is oblivious to that fact that shaun white won a gold medal, and is obvi very ginger.

personal recommendations? keep up the good work snowboarding, but cut your fucking hair.

congrats.

behold, true beauty.










need i say more? it's a coffee table/cat hammock.



COFFEE TABLE/CAT HAMMOCK!!!!!

its all down hill from here folks.

fox in crisis!

more like a herd of foxes!! (fleet? pack? gaggle?)

Victoria Bekham - what. the. fuck. you aren't even ginger yet i feel the need to comment on this. Only i am left without words....why......i mean, WHY????

There is just nothing right about this. when you are that skinny and rigid looking, you should be very aware of the potential you have to look like a poutier version of cruella deville. And normally you are so chic and well dressed!

Well i suppose we all have our off days, so i guess i will let this slide.


Although on my off days i don't go out looking like a horrifying cross between a flamenco dancer and a chupacabera.

Zombie cakes!


Another zombie day has come and gone, and this one was extra fabulous, because of some great friends, greater zombie movies, bloody marys, and gingerfoxxx's special zombie cakes (yum) here's the super easy recipe anytime you need to impress the undead-










Ingredients

  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (i do one full fat, and 2 1/3 reduced fat. i have a figure to maintain.)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • 1 cup white sugar (another one)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or, you can accidentally pour the whole bottle in like i did. extra vanilla-y!)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cupcake pans with paper cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar. Stir in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla. Spoon into cupcake pans to fill about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 to 10 minutes. (they will sink in and look like little cups. don't freak out.)
  4. To make the sour cream topping, whisk together the sour cream, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spoon into the well on the top of each cupcake.
  5. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until set. Set cupcake pans on racks to cool, do not remove cupcakes from the pan until they are completely cool. For a finishing touch, put cherries on top. they look like the kind of bloody mess that would attract zombies. but in fact, they taste like cherries.

enjoy! but not too many fatties :D

Good thoughts!


In a time of need, this audrey hepburn quote comes to mind. "for a slim figure, share your food with the hungry" Well, if audrey hepburn isn't the smartest person in the freaking world, i don't know who is.

And, as we prepare for fat tuesday tomorrow, remember. Its cool to joke about being fat, but never cool to actually be fat. So maybe send our cheesecakes to haiti, and celebrate tomorrow as FAB tuesday instead of fat tuesday! :D you will all thank me when you fit in your little black dresses and shake your asses for beads tomorrow.





But seriously. feeding the hungry is cool.

Look Fabulous, save the world.














Check out Alchemy Goods.

A company in seattle that creates backpacks, messenger bags, purses, etc out of used materials (billboard ads, bike parts, etc.) Now, i assure, i would be eaten alive in the seattle hipster scene, but i can vouch for these bags. I have had one of their ad bags for the past three years, and not only does it still look hipster chic, that thing has literally been to hell and back and shows no sign of stopping.

On my current want list: The new Georgetown carry all. I am pretty sure it functions primarily as a grab and go carry all for the bike scene, but i think with a wrist
strap, this could make one stylish hipster-esque clutch. (just don't tell them of my evil, fashionable plans! vwa ha ha!!)


And i thought nothing would steal my love of the spork....

Meet trongs! Because chicken wingies are awesome, but ginger looking bbq smelling fingers, not so much!

These red claws may look like lobster appendages but they are apparently for humans. Step off, spork. Trongs are the latest in hybrid utensil fashion. (Wait, what does the "r" represent? Tongs plus, uh.) Nobody would think you were weird at all if you kept them in your bag, just in case the saucy buffalo wing attacked. In this 30-second promotional video, the robotic music seems to build up to something really cool and climactic, but that never happens. Watching people who seem to believe Trongs are the wave of the future, though, does have its appeal.

And if you're left feeling hungry for more Trongs multimedia, play the game! (A lady in a low-cut top throws chicken at you.)
