Making my signature 3-meat chili, a recipe passed down for at least 4 generations (at least that's what the 3rd generation says).

Serious Entertaining: 'The Bachelor' Watching Party

The exceptional cheesiness of this show demands a formidable cheese plate. Some mild fresh mozzarella (perhaps to represent Ben's blandness?), a sharp cheddar (at least as sharp as the girls' clavicles), a bowl of salty feta (flavored with the tears of the rejected... so many tears) and a funky smelly roquefort (in the spirit of the fact that this show stinks, but in an awesome way.)

What Are Your Soda Alternatives?

Like @MarkS, my fiance and I use our SodaStream and we just love it. Agreed on the brand syrups being kind of gross though, overly sweet and sometimes downright foul. But homemade syrups, or adding things like a little juice concentrate or fresh-squeezed juices makes a very refreshing drink. I am addicted to seltzer water (aka soda water, bubbly water, whatever people call it in your part of the world) so the SodaStream was just a natural fit in my home.
