BILL’S EX BF IS SO TALENTED
Choire {The Boy Who Doesn’t Know How To Spell His Own First Name} Sicha, former editor and chief of Gawker and founder and editor of The Awl — as well as being Bill Cullum from Bill in Exile’s EX BF — shows us all how to prepare and enjoy Thanksgiving cranberry sauce.
When Choire {pronounced Corey} was just 21 years old and dating Bill I met him for the first time at an East Village bar. In an attempt at making small talk I said to him that I understood from Bill that he was a writer. To which he responded, after raising an eyebrow at me and taking a long drag on a Marlboro, “No, I’m an author.”
I thought he was a pretentious twit 20 years ago and I still do today. But he’s a pretty talented pretentious twit, I’ll give him that much.
Via that unrepentant traffic hoor Frank.

There is no excuse for canned cranberry sauce! Except maybe the unavailability of fresh cranberries. To make the real thing slowly bring to a boil one cup of water and one cup of sugar, stirring constantly until liquid is clear. Add one 12 oz. package of fresh cranberries and bring back to a gentle boil. Reduce heat, and stirring occassionally until the berries begin to pop. Remove from heat and cool a bit. Pour into serving dish and serve. Or allow to completely cool, cover, and refrigerate up to two days.
If you can boil water and have any patience at all, you can make the real thing! Amaze your family and friends! This was my mother’s recipe, which is on the Ocean Spray fresh cranberry package! Smart lady, my mother!

Well…he does know how to gobble. So…just how many joints had he partaken of, do you think?

BTW — I AM an author. I got 5 book in print, available through Amazon. Does HE? (Commentary about mine own pretentiousness and rather bitchy behavior may follow.)

The trick is to use warm water to get it out of the can.
And now you know.

I can’t remember a more complete waste of sixty-four seconds of my life.

What’s the problem Ben? You don’t like learning new things? I bet you never once in your life realized that you could eat cranberry sauce like that.
Sheesh!

Another proud moment for Choire. At least he doesn’t speak – the pretentiousness and entitlement would suck all of the hot air out of the web.

Well, Scott, some of us aren’t the proprietors of wildly successful, internationally acclaimed smut-blogs! We have to shake our moneymakers for any traffic we can get.

That stuff would go down much easier if he sloshed some Vodka into the “sauce”> Notice too that kitty has little interest in what’s going on.
