Yippee Ki Yay - The Parody Celebration of Die Hard

Yippee Ki Yay - The Parody Celebration of Die Hard / Going in, I knew the basics: it was a parody, it was Die Hard, and it was a one-man show of physical comedy. But what I didn’t know? Just how uproariously funny, cleverly heartfelt, and inventive this show would be. Brace yourself, because this isn’t your average parody—it’s Die Hard reimagined as poetry, blended with tender personal storytelling, and sprinkled with more hysterical accents than you’d find at an international improv convention. (Hans Gruber and Karl? Perfection!). Read more on lifefoodwine.com @ykylive @broadwayinchicago

#whatscooking - Chicken & Mushroom Stew with Dumpl

#whatscooking - Chicken & Mushroom Stew with Dumplings - This stew started as a slow-cooker gem from my “Fix It and Forget It” cookbook (which has 1,700 recipes, btw—it’s basically the Wikipedia of slow cooking). Over time, I gave it an upgrade with dumplings, because carbs make everything better. Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of this winter wonder. Get #recipe at lifefoodwine.com
