ORIGINALLY POSTED ON SKEPCHICK. Post by Melanie. Contrary to MRA mythology, Skepchicks don’t think there’s anything wrong with owning a penis. In fact, this week, you have a chance to own the penis you’ve always dreamed of, custom made to your specifications in MS Paint by El Mofo herself, Elyse Anders. That’s just one of the many items we’ve got up for sale on eBay a... »
Summer’s coming! Which means ice cream is extra-good. And the only thing that could possibly approach the deliciousness of my beloved Sanders on top of a really good French vanilla is a good caramel sauce. And it’s insanely easy to make your own! Now, I’m not gonna call anyone’s favored coffee shop out for squeezing some mono- and diglycerides* over your latte**, because I ... »
I am a big fan of mayonnaise. I like it on my fries, on my burgers, and combined with different ingredients to create a variety of amazing sauces. Even if you don’t like mayo, I think you should agree with me that there is something magical about how egg yolk and oil blended together in just the right way can result in something with a texture so different from either base ingredient.

I keep thinking that bananas are a good idea, when in reality I don’t particularly care for them. I think, “Hey! I’ll eat fruit and be healthy! I’ll buy a bunch of bananas and take them to work every day!” and then a week later I have a bunch of bananas that look, almost literally, like awful poop. Let’s take a moment to purge that thought from our minds before ... »

More than 300 parties are taking place in over 50 countries (find one near you here!), and all of those revelers are going to need something to drink. Time to invent a cocktail! I decided to do a take on the Moscow Mule, a refreshing classic that combine... »
You guys, I made cupcakes from stuff that was already in my kitchen. I didn’t have to go to the store for anything. WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?! <– Forreals, this is what's in cupcakes. Super easy, right? But wait! There are weird instructions in my recipe! Herein begins my Ode to the Hand Mixer! (I don't sing so well.) Butter isn't soft enough? Hand mixer. Recipe says to d... »
If you believe certain musical groups, everybody wants to live forever (while ruling the world?). Our fascination with immortality is such that it’s a hallmark of mythology. In our daily lives, we obsess over staying young and healthy (or at least many advertisers and marketeers think we do, or at least that we obsess over how to appear young and healthy). And as a species we’ve funnel... »
If you wish to create an apple pie from scratch. First you must watch this cooking show. There are more than a couple names you might recognize in those credits. And now for something completely related: MAL Exclusive bonus footage! It’s a little known fact that Bigfoot is so hard to track down because she’s always making art. The sort-of-long and not-all-that-sordid tale of “Coo... »
