Cookies By Design Icing
Cookies By Design Icing
2 tbsp (30 mL) meringue powder*
1/4 cup (60 mL) water
2 cups (500 mL) icing sugar
1 tsp (5 mL) flavoring (vanilla, orange, lemon, maple, etc)
available at specialty baking and cooking stores
Put your icing sugar, meringue powder and flavoring into a mixing bowl. Start your mixer on low and add water a little at a time until your icing reaches the desired consistency. The icing should be smooth and shiny. It is best to keep your icing a little stiff to begin as you can thin the icing later when you need it to decorate.
You can equally adjust the ingredients to make more or less icing. Feel free to add more water or more icing sugar to reach a consistency that you can decorate with.

Raglan Road Guinness Dipping Sauce
1 3/4 cups Guinness
1 3/4 cups brown sugar
Irish Soda Bread:
3 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 tablespoon milk
In a medium sized pot combine the Guinness and sugar, simmer on low for approximately an hour. This mixture will reduce by at half if not more. The more this reduces the better, as you will end up with a tangy sauce. Do not walk away while this is cooking, it will bubble up while cooking, and you need to stir it from time to time so it does not bubble over the stove. Let the sauce cool to room temperature before serving. When you are ready to serve the sauce place equal amounts of the reduction and olive oil (you do not need to use extra virgin, in fact, don’t, the flavor won’t be right). Dip pieces of bread into the reduction and enjoy.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender until the butter is well dispersed and the mixture is crumbly. Add buttermilk and stir until just moistened. Knead for 1 minute on a floured surface. Shape into a ball and place into a 1 1/2 quart greased casserole. Use a sharp knife to cut and ‘X’ across the top. Brush with milk and bake for about 45 minutes tenting with foil for the last 15 minutes. Turn loaf onto a wire rack to cool.

After months and months of planning and obsessive media
Watch The Other Woman Online It’s easy to be negative about the Kim Kardashian and Kanye West marriage on account of their eccentricities and over the top personalities, but in many ways, they actually seem perfect for each other. They both have a unique appreciation for all things artistic, gaudy and flamboyant. They both get hounded by the paparazzi, slammed by the media and obsessed over by certain segments of the general public. They’re on the same page, and with the daughter they now share, they may actually wind up being perfect for each other.
Watch Frozen Online In addition to the venue confusion, the local area is reportedly abuzz with reports that Lana Del Rey has shown up and is rehearsing inside the lobby of the official hotel. Beyond that, members of the local media have reportedly been told the location is a restricted no fly zone. It’s anyone’s guess as to whether the couple paid for that privilege, but either way, they should be able to sell the first pictures from the wedding and make a killing without the risk of them leaking out.
Watch Heaven is for Real Online According to TMZ, Kanye and Kim seem to have booked two different venues. The first one is in Versailles and the second one in Florence. Initially, it was thought the actual ceremony would take place in Versailles tonight and the reception would take place tomorrow in Florence, but both of the locations seem to be set up to accommodate a conventional wedding. Maybe that means they’ll say “I Do” twice. Maybe that means one of them is a decoy. When it comes to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, you just never know.
Watch The Raid 2 Online As for everything else about the wedding, it reportedly went swimmingly. Very little drama and a whole lot of fun, which is all any celebrity can ask for. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are getting married in Europe this weekend. Beyond that, their plans are one giant mystery. All we’re getting is some weird and awesome whispers about what may or may not be going on.
Watch A Haunted House 2 Online Look: I got it. If that’s really what the story was here, I get it. Every single person in the entire world goes through at least one period of time in which they’re not super stoked about their appearance. Sometimes that’s because they gained 8 pounds. Sometimes that’s because they got a terrible haircut, and sometimes that’s because there’s been a gigantic weight gain. No one is pumped about posing for snapshots during one of those self-conscious periods, but when it comes to a wedding or other major life events, you just have to suck it up and be in the pictures.
Watch Transcendence Online Obviously, no one involved has spoken publicly about what happened, but according to TMZ, he left because of issues with the pictures. More specifically, he allegedly got pissed off at Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner and company for trying to push him to pose for family shots since he’d fallen off quite a bit from his fighting weight.
Watch Vampire Academy Online Over the last year or so, Rob Kardashian has put on quite a bit of weight. Recently, he’s been teased about it a fair amount in the media, but he sucked it up and headed to Europe to see his sister officially exchange I-Dos. Between the time he arrived in Europe and the time Kim and Kanye actually walked down the aisle, however, something seems to have changed. He allegedly got into an argument with family members, got on a plane and went home, missing the ceremony and the reception.
After months and months of planning and obsessive media coverage, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West finally walked down the aisle this weekend and celebrated their union alongside family members, friends, business associates and fellow celebrities. Unfortunately, rumors are swirling that one key family member was not there: Rob Kardashian, and if the whispers are to be believed, he bailed for a very unfortunate reason.

The story first showed up this morning on Deadspin
Watch X Men Days of Future Past Online Speaking to everyone except the groom, Bill Murray quipped that while funerals are for the living, bachelor parties are for all of the guys not getting married. He then recommended all of the guys find the girl they think they’re meant to be with, then book an extended trip around the world to all sorts of strange and stressful places alongside the woman. If, when they get back to the airport they’re still in love with her, that, he thinks, is all the evidence they need she’s the right one.
Watch Godzilla 2014 Online And like that, he left! In retrospect, it’s the definition of the George Costanza end on a high note theory. Head into the room with a ton of energy, win the crowd over and then leave. For the rest of their lives, every single one of these people will go see every single thing he’s in. They’ll defend him vigorously to anyone who wasn’t there. In short, they’ll now go forth and spread the Bill Murray legacy.
Watch The Amazing Spider Man 2 Online A woman named Melissa Carlton who has been in a coma for two months gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Delivered via C-section, the little boy was named Nathaniel West. The baby, who weighed five pounds nine ounces at birth, was not expected to survive, nor the mother. Yet both are still alive and recovering. Since the birth, Carlton has responded to the baby with eye contact and is able to nurse with assistance.
Watch Neighbors Online The whole incident began when Carlton went in for surgery ten weeks ago. She was to have a benign tumor on her brain removed, but she had a seizure during the surgery. As a result, it damaged part of her brain and sent her into the coma. Melissa Carlton is on the road to recovery, however, and her new husband Brian has been nothing but supportive to the newest member of his family, as well as his recovering wife. The family of Carlton is very grateful for Brian and say they are very thankful for the way he has handled the situation... ”This is a story of joy and it's not lost on us that this is a story about Brian and his love...He has taken care of our daughter in a way that parents can only hope for, and that's a credit for Melissa because Melissa chose him."
Watch God's Not Dead Online Things have been looking up for the family as Melissa makes the slow road to recovery. CBS News is saying she touched her husband's face recently and hugged him for the first time since she’s gone into the coma. Medically, a coma means a period of unconsciousness lasting longer than six hours where the victim can best be described as “comatose”.This means when unconscious they cannot be woken up, nor will they respond to stimuli. They may also be prone to making involuntary actions.

Game of Thrones airs Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET. Celebrity approval ratings aren’t tracked as rigorously or as accurately as those of politicians, but if they were, it’s hard to imagine many would score higher than Bill Murray. After appearing on Saturday Night Live and churning out a ton of brilliant, over-the-top comedies like Stripes and Ghostbusters, the actor has spent the past two decades redefining himself as an understated genius who gravitates toward quirky projects and randomly surprises members of the general public with impromptu moments of hilarity and wisdom. Take this past weekend as an example when the legendary comedian gave a baller speech at a bachelor party.
The story first showed up this morning on Deadspin. A random dude named EJ was inside a steakhouse in Charleston to celebrate his bachelor party alongside twenty of his friends. At some point, one of the dudes noticed Bill Murray was eating in a separate room. At first, they tried to send him drinks, which he politely turned down. Then, they asked him to come say a few words, which he politely turned down. Then, out of nowhere, he just showed up and gave the hilarious speech seen above.

Both Hardwick and Wheaton have appeared in and/or moderated panels at Comic-Con in San Diego, and both men host post-episode talk shows for popular sci-fi dramas. For Hardwick, that's the Walking Dead after show Talking Dead, and for Wheaton, it's Falling Skies: 2nd Watch, the after-show for TNT's alien-apocalypse drama Falling Skies. Hardwick and Wheaton actually go way back to the early '90s, so it should be interesting to see Hardwick's appearance on The Wil Wheaton Project. Something tells me those two would have a lot to talk about (for our entertainment).

Watch Frozen Online Fast forward to Robert's Rebellion, Prince Rhaegar and Elia are married with two children and the former has left King's Landing to meet his foes on the field of battle. Robert kills Rhaegar and Tywin, no longer Hand of the King because of the aforementioned events, arrives at the Capital with 'reinforcements.' Once the gates are lifted, the Lannister troops show their true colors and sack the city. Knowing that Rhaegar's heirs would forever be a threat to the throne and looking for a little payback, Tywin orders Ser Gregor Clegane to take care of Elia and her children.
Watch The Other Woman Online After last week's enlightening story about how The Mountain treats family, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that his way of 'taking care' of the royal family was especially brutal. He raped Elia and then split her in half with his great sword before killing the kids with his bare hands and wrapping their little bodies in Lannister cloaks. This was Oberyn's sister, niece and nephew. And, of course, this was an act that the Viper would not forget. That's why he was the only one excited by Tyrion's request for a trial by combat. Cause and effect. Cersei then names Ser Gregor as her champion which brings the Mountain to King's Landing. To the Viper. Let's get ready to rumble!
Watch Captain America The Winter Soldier Online The fourth season of Game of Thrones continues with Episode 8, "The Mountain and the Viper," next Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on HBO. Based on the "Song of Ice and Fire" novels by George R.R. Martin, the TV series was adapted by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and stars Peter Dinklage, Kit Harrington, Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
Watch Divergent Online And because she was to be queen and already lived in King's Landing with her father, she convinced her brother/loverJaime to join the King's Guard. There goes the Lannister legacy with the 'unmatchable' baby Tyrion serving as a constant reminder. To make matters worse, the Mad King Aerys then chose Elia over Cersei as a wife for Prince Rhaegar. The Martells 'stole' the most coveted match in Westeros right from under Tywin's nose. Remember, he was Hand to the King at the time so he assumed that Aerys would pick his most trusted advisor's child to marry his sought after son. It was a slight that Lord Tywin would not forget.
Watch God's Not Dead Online Who better to stand at the front of a half-hour series like that than Wil Wheaton, an actor, blogger, podcaster, author and Twitter user who's well known for his enthusiasm and knowledge of geek culture.

Here's a glimpse of Wil Wheaton and Chris Hardwick looking like they're having a whole lot of fun...
Watch Neighbors Online We all know Tyrion is innocent but that doesn't mean much when your sister is the Queen Regent and she does everything she can (appealing to Margaery's desire for the crown, Oberyn's relationship with his daughters and Tywin's sense of legacy) to ensure that the three judges are on her side. Of course, Tywin didn't need much persuading to begin with because, like his daughter, he's despised his dwarf son since the day he was born. Yes, Oberyn's story revealed this was a long-time coming.
Watch Godzilla Online To be fair, the fight more than sells itself, especially after the incredible "I will be your champion" scene between Oberyn and Tyrion last week, but there is a lot of history worth refreshing before Ser Gregor Clegane and the Prince of Dorne fight to decide the imprisoned Lannister's fate. The main sequence of events that led to the trial by combat are pretty clear with Cersei blaming her younger brother for the death of beloved King Joffrey.
Watch Godzilla 2014 Online The World Wars will follow the roots of the young men as they live through World War I, but will focus on the years between 1941 and 1944, as these prominent political figures have aged and become more powerful. It’s a perspective similar to the one used in The Men Who Built America, and it should go a long way to explain how these important figures came to think and interconnect during the historical time period (unsurprisingly, The World Wars and The Men Who Built America share a production company). Along with the aforementioned names, U.S. Generals Douglas MacArthur and George Patton will also feature prominently.

These men are instigators and defenders, dictators and champions of democracy, and they are names taught to every child over the age of ten in school systems around the world. They are the men that made headlines during WWII and the men that made many of the big decisions that had a major impact on the then-burgeoning modern world. Instead of focusing on the acts that changed lives during WWII, writer David C. White, Director John Ealer and the show’s long list of producers opted to create a narrative following the timelines of the individuals pulling the strings during World War II.
Watch X Men Days of Future Past Online By now, you're probably well aware there wasn't a new episode of Game of Thrones last night. HBO opted to air Ryan Murphy (and Larry Kramer)'s The Normal Heart in the Memorial Day weekend slot instead. The extra wait isn't easy, especially for something so easily spoiled, but every heavyweight bout needs time to be promoted and it doesn't get much heavier than "The Mountain and the Viper." I'll be playing the part of Don King.
The Dornish prince and princess travelled there in hopes that they would wed Tywin's twins and join the two powerful Houses. How powerful are the Martells? Well, Dorne was the only region of Westeros that didn't bend the knee to the Targaryen conquerors, hence their words, "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken." You can see why Tywin might like the idea of that alliance and, besides, the Ladies of the Houses were close friends. However, by the time the trip occurred, Lady Joanna had died giving birth to Tyrion and the Lord of Casterly Rock refused both potential matches. He was going to make his daughter the Queen.

Of course, Tywin didn't need much persuading to begin with because, like his daughter, he's despised his dwarf son since the day he was born. Yes, Oberyn's story revealed this was a long-time coming.
Watch Godzilla Online To be fair, the fight more than sells itself, especially after the incredible "I will be your champion" scene between Oberyn and Tyrion last week, but there is a lot of history worth refreshing before Ser Gregor Clegane and the Prince of Dorne fight to decide the imprisoned Lannister's fate. The main sequence of events that led to the trial by combat are pretty clear with Cersei blaming her younger brother for the death of beloved King Joffrey.
Watch Godzilla 2014 Online The World Wars will follow the roots of the young men as they live through World War I, but will focus on the years between 1941 and 1944, as these prominent political figures have aged and become more powerful. It’s a perspective similar to the one used in The Men Who Built America, and it should go a long way to explain how these important figures came to think and interconnect during the historical time period (unsurprisingly, The World Wars and The Men Who Built America share a production company). Along with the aforementioned names, U.S. Generals Douglas MacArthur and George Patton will also feature prominently.
Watch X Men Days of Future Past Online Hitler. Stalin. Roosevelt. Churchill. Mussolini. These men are instigators and defenders, dictators and champions of democracy, and they are names taught to every child over the age of ten in school systems around the world. They are the men that made headlines during WWII and the men that made many of the big decisions that had a major impact on the then-burgeoning modern world. Instead of focusing on the acts that changed lives during WWII, writer David C. White, Director John Ealer and the show’s long list of producers opted to create a narrative following the timelines of the individuals pulling the strings during World War II.
Watch X Men Days of Future Past Online By now, you're probably well aware there wasn't a new episode of Game of Thrones last night. HBO opted to air Ryan Murphy (and Larry Kramer)'s The Normal Heart in the Memorial Day weekend slot instead. The extra wait isn't easy, especially for something so easily spoiled, but every heavyweight bout needs time to be promoted and it doesn't get much heavier than "The Mountain and the Viper." I'll be playing the part of Don King.
The Dornish prince and princess travelled there in hopes that they would wed Tywin's twins and join the two powerful Houses. How powerful are the Martells? Well, Dorne was the only region of Westeros that didn't bend the knee to the Targaryen conquerors, hence their words, "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken." You can see why Tywin might like the idea of that alliance and, besides, the Ladies of the Houses were close friends. However, by the time the trip occurred, Lady Joanna had died giving birth to Tyrion and the Lord of Casterly Rock refused both potential matches. He was going to make his daughter the Queen.

Bacon and Potato Frittata
8 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, parsley, or tarragon
3 tablespoons grated parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 slices bacon, chopped
1 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 small onion, or more to taste, chopped
2 garlic cloves, or more to taste, chopped
2 to 3 cups spinach or arugula, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chopped roasted peppers, or to taste
3 ounces sliced Provolone (5 to 6 slices), optional
Preheat broiler.
Whisk together eggs, basil, parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl.
Cook bacon in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until crisp. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to a large bowl then pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat.
Add potatoes and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper to skillet, and sauté over medium-high heat until golden, about 3 minutes. Cover skillet and continue to cook over medium-low heat, stirring a few times, until potatoes are just tender, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the potatoes with a slotted spoon to bowl containing the bacon.
Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and sauté onion and garlic over medium-high heat until pale golden, about 4 minutes, then add spinach and sauté until just wilted.
Gently add the potatoes and bacon, the roasted peppers, and remaining tablespoon oil into onion mixture, spreading it evenly.
Pour egg mixture evenly over vegetables and cook over medium-high heat, lifting up cooked egg around edges with a heat-proof rubber spatula to let uncooked egg flow underneath, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook, covered, until it appears mostly set, with a moist top and center, 3 to 5 minutes more.
Remove lid. If using Provolone, broil frittata 5 to 7 inches from heat until set, but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes, then top with an even layer of cheese and continue to broil until browned and bubbling, 1 to 3 minutes (watch carefully).
If skipping the cheese, broil frittata until the top is lightly browned, 1 to 3 minutes (making sure it doesn't burn).
If using a nonstick skillet, slide the frittata onto a serving plate. If using a cast-iron skillet, cut and serve wedges directly from the skillet.

Olive Garden Three Meat Sauce
Olive Garden Three Meat Sauce
Being Italian - this is a bit different from my family's recipe - I make my own homemade sauce which I can and freeze and my usual 3 meats are ground round/sirloin, country pork ribs and either diced top/bottom round or maybe skinless boneless chicken, or my homemade Italian sausage.
2 24 ounce jars Marinara sauce - use your favorite brand
1 16 ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 cup chopped onions
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 pound Italian sausage - remove from casings
1/2 cup pepperoni, chopped fine
1 teaspoon of Italian seasonings
Saute onions in a large pot with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When onions have become translucent add the two jars of marina sauce, and can of chopped tomatoes, and turn down to simmer. In a large skillet brown ground beef and Italian sausage until completely cooked, drain fat from meat, and add meat into the large pot with the sauce. Add chopped pepperoni to the sauce mixture. Add 1 teaspoon of Italian seasonings to mixture and all to simmer for about 20 minutes before you season to taste with salt and pepper.
This makes a very large pot of sauce, if you have a larger family, consider stretching the sauce with an additional jar of marina, or a can of tomatoes. Since we are adding so many different spicy meats, wait until the all of the meats season the sauce before making any adjustments. If you have a smaller family, you may want to freeze this sauce, and use later.

Diner-Style Cheeseburger Sliders
Diner-Style Cheeseburger Sliders
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium yellow onion, sliced thin
1/2 pound ground beef
3 slices processed pasteurized American cheese
6 small white hamburger buns
6 slices pickle
Ketchup, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
Divide ground beef into six balls (you are shooting for around 1.5 ounces per meatball; precision is not important here), and cut each slice of cheese in half.
In a large skillet over low heat, combine oil and onion. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until onions sweeten and caramelize. This should take about 20 minutes.
When onions are ready, add meatballs to pan, on top of onions, and press with a spatula to flatten each into a hamburger patty. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook approximately 1-2 minutes.
Using a spatula, flip burger patties (with onions underneath) so that the onions are on top. Add a half-slice of cheese to each hamburger patty, followed by the top half of the bun, followed by the bottom half of the bun.
Cover pan with a kitchen towel, being careful not to let towel catch fire. Let cook 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and buns are steamed through.
To serve, remove kitchen towel. Arrange bottom sections of bun on a platter, and add ketchup and pickle slices to each. Using a spatula, remove each hamburger/onion/cheese/bun stack from pan, and place on each bottom bun. Serve immediately.

Casa Mono's Skirt Steak
Onion Marmalade:
1 cup sugar, divided
1 cup red wine (I used a Spanish tempranillo in keeping with the theme of the dish)
1 medium red onion, sliced*
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Romesco Sauce:
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 small Spanish or Vidalia onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 6 ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (fresh are best when in season; canned are fine in the winter!)
2 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1/2 cup roasted almonds
1 slice paesano or other hearty country bread, crusts removed and cubed
Skirt Steak:
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon a pinch of kosher salt
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, sliced into 4 pieces
*Instead of slicing the red onion into rings, I chop off the ends, then halve the onion lengthwise and cut along the same lengthwise grain, creating wafer-thin slices that are uniform in length.
In a medium saucepan, bring 1/2 cup sugar and the red wine to a boil over moderately high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Stir in the red onion, cover, and cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, strain out the wine, and return the onions to the stovetop. Add the red wine vinegar and the other 1/2 cup sugar and simmer until the liquid thickens to a syrupy consistency, about 8 minutes.
In a medium skillet, saute the minced onion in olive oil over moderately high heat until softened but not caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, peppers and tomatoes, and cook 5 minutes more or until the garlic is softened. Stir in the sherry vinegar and remove from heat.
In a food processor, pulse the almonds and bread cubes to make chunky crumbs. Add the hot vegetable mixture and puree. (Be mindful of the escaping steam.)
Preheat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan for at least 5 minutes over high heat.
Mince the garlic with a pinch of kosher salt, mashing the garlic into your cutting board with the flat blade of your knife as you chop to form a paste. In a casserole dish, whisk together the garlic paste, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, olive oil, cayenne, and cumin. Add the steaks and flip them a few times to fully coat. Transfer the steaks to the heated skillet (cook in two batches to avoid overcrowding) and sear about 2 minutes per side to achieve medium-rare doneness. Let the steaks rest off heat for 2 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Watch Godzilla 2014 Online I love hearing that he's "deeply in love" with these new characters, especially when we take into account how crucial our investment in detectives Rust Cohle and Marty Hart was with the first season. Their story -- or their versions of the story -- were the driving force of the season. We'll have to start all over for Season 2, which will introduce us to a new story and new characters. Knowing Pizzolatto is already invested in them is certainly promising. He also mentions a vague non-Los Angeles California setting. California is a big state, so this story could be anywhere, but I'm guessing when he says "lesser known venues," he means somewhere outside of the major cities entirely, but who knows?
Watch X Men Days of Future Past Online (Via Indiewire), True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto had some interesting things to say about the process of getting True Detective made when he spoke on the To the Best of Our Knowledge podcast. Near the end of the conversation, he's asked about the second season, and Pizzolatto shares some new details about what's in store:Right now we're working with three leads and it takes place in California. Not Los Angeles, but some of the much lesser known venues of California. And we're going to try to capture a certain psychosphere ambiance of the place, much like we did in Season 1. And the characters are all new but I'm deeply in love with each of them. And we've got the entire series broken out with a couple scripts and we'll probably start casting in earnest within the coming month.
Watch The Other Woman Online "I've been having this dream. It's the same one, over and over. It's about my son. He says to me, 'We're gone, Daddy, and all the people who stayed, they're asleep.' Time to wake up now." As of late, the only thing we really knew about the second season of HBO's True Detective was that Matthew McConaughey would definitely not be coming back for Season 2, which will center on a new crime and a new set of characters. And that, despite reports to the contrary, Jessica Chastain was not cast as one of the leads. But we now have some actual clues about Season 2, courtesy of True Detective creator himself, Nic Pizzolatto, who says the second season will center on three lead characters.
Watch Frozen Online After such wonderful films as Toy Story, The Incredibles, Up and Ratatouille, Pixar's brand is so strong that their very name makes us pumped for upcoming projects, whatever they are about. But one of their 2015 releases is now coming into sharper focus, as the widely acclaimed animation studio unveils a fuller plotline for Inside Out.
Watch That Awkward Moment Online Due to an expanding global marketplace and the addition of 3D, X-Men: Days Of Future Past is set to collect somewhere in the neighborhood of $650-$700 million if it continues at its current pace. That's pretty great, but this movie cost $200 million (down from earlier, more extravagant projections) and X-Men: Apocalypse has been promised as a bigger, more epic film. Singer was infamously cheesed when he only got $75 million to put together the first X-Men and $110 million for X2. The hope is that Fox will lighten the purse strings once again.
Watch Rio 2 Online Early on it was confirmed that the next entry would focus on McAvoy's Xavier, Fassbender's Magneto, Mystique and Beast. Then Singer and company made intimations about Gambit and Nightcrawler. Then it was suggested that Wolverine would show up (though beyond commercial reasons, it seems unclear as to why). And now we're getting another dose of original-flavor X-Men? Seems kind of crowded. A peek at Days Of Future Past suggests Singer still has an affinity for these characters and this world. The hope is that Fox gives him the budget to realize this.
Watch The Raid 2 Online Apocalypse is said to feature a lot of the First Class crew, though it may also feature some older characters as well. Could that be gunshy execs who still won't trust the First Class actors given that, teaming with the original X-crew, they couldn't even goose X-Men: Days Of Future Past to a $100 million domestic opening, something The Last Stand achieved eight years ago without 3D prices? Michael Fassbender can get Oscar nominations and James McAvoy can earn plaudits on stage and screen, but neither of them carry the appeal of ol' Patrick Stewart, wheeling in to dispense some hearty advice.
[i]Watch A Haunted House 2 Online During one of Simon Kinberg's many post-Days Of Future Past interviews, he confirms that Singer will be returning to helm X-Men: Apocalypse. "That is the plan," he tells The Daily Beast, confirming that he is working to crack the story with Singer, and X2: X-Men United writers Dan Harris and Mike Dougherty. X-Men: Apocalypse remains scheduled for May 27th, 2016, so Singer and company have only a few months to get cracking before they have to set a start date. Then again, X-Men: The Last Stand remains the biggest X-film of all-time, and that was totally rushed into production, so maybe there's a method to that madness. If you ever see Bryan Singer palling around with Brett Ratner, we'll know if this is the case.
Watch Godzilla 2014 Online Ultimately, Lost River didn't win favor with the Cannes jury that Refn served with, winning no major prizes. Distributor Warner Bros. put up the $3 million budget for the movie but they might be looking to cut their losses, as Gosling has no doubt turned in a less-than-commercial film that has perplexed and flummoxed the majority of the Cannes movie-watching crew. But even though Refn's words sound a bit like a friend merely sticking up for his buddy's questionable art project ("There are images that still stick with me"), Refn's words still make a difference in eventually getting this weird-sounding film out to the public. In addition to Hendricks, Lost River also stars Matt Smith, Saoirse Ronan, Eva Mendes, Iain de Casestacker, Barbara Steele and Ben Mendelsohn, who Refn highlights in his comments about the film ("I could watch him read a phone book"). No release date has been set.
Even though Bryan Singer was developing there was still a sliver of a doubt that he would direct the film. After all, what if X-Men: Days Of Future Past didn't catch on? Would the movie even happen? And would Fox distance themselves from Singer in the aftermath of heinous allegations that shone an unpleasant light on their films? Well, speculation over: Bryan Singer's pretty much the guy.

Singer was infamously cheesed when he only got $75 million to put together the first X-Men and $110 million for X2. The hope is that Fox will lighten the purse strings once again.
Watch Rio 2 Online Early on it was confirmed that the next entry would focus on McAvoy's Xavier, Fassbender's Magneto, Mystique and Beast. Then Singer and company made intimations about Gambit and Nightcrawler. Then it was suggested that Wolverine would show up (though beyond commercial reasons, it seems unclear as to why). And now we're getting another dose of original-flavor X-Men? Seems kind of crowded. A peek at Days Of Future Past suggests Singer still has an affinity for these characters and this world. The hope is that Fox gives him the budget to realize this.
Watch The Raid 2 Online Apocalypse is said to feature a lot of the First Class crew, though it may also feature some older characters as well. Could that be gunshy execs who still won't trust the First Class actors given that, teaming with the original X-crew, they couldn't even goose X-Men: Days Of Future Past to a $100 million domestic opening, something The Last Stand achieved eight years ago without 3D prices? Michael Fassbender can get Oscar nominations and James McAvoy can earn plaudits on stage and screen, but neither of them carry the appeal of ol' Patrick Stewart, wheeling in to dispense some hearty advice.
[i]Watch A Haunted House 2 Online During one of Simon Kinberg's many post-Days Of Future Past interviews, he confirms that Singer will be returning to helm X-Men: Apocalypse. "That is the plan," he tells The Daily Beast, confirming that he is working to crack the story with Singer, and X2: X-Men United writers Dan Harris and Mike Dougherty. X-Men: Apocalypse remains scheduled for May 27th, 2016, so Singer and company have only a few months to get cracking before they have to set a start date. Then again, X-Men: The Last Stand remains the biggest X-film of all-time, and that was totally rushed into production, so maybe there's a method to that madness. If you ever see Bryan Singer palling around with Brett Ratner, we'll know if this is the case.
Watch Godzilla 2014 Online Ultimately, Lost River didn't win favor with the Cannes jury that Refn served with, winning no major prizes. Distributor Warner Bros. put up the $3 million budget for the movie but they might be looking to cut their losses, as Gosling has no doubt turned in a less-than-commercial film that has perplexed and flummoxed the majority of the Cannes movie-watching crew. But even though Refn's words sound a bit like a friend merely sticking up for his buddy's questionable art project ("There are images that still stick with me"), Refn's words still make a difference in eventually getting this weird-sounding film out to the public. In addition to Hendricks, Lost River also stars Matt Smith, Saoirse Ronan, Eva Mendes, Iain de Casestacker, Barbara Steele and Ben Mendelsohn, who Refn highlights in his comments about the film ("I could watch him read a phone book"). No release date has been set.
Even though Bryan Singer was developing there was still a sliver of a doubt that he would direct the film. After all, what if X-Men: Days Of Future Past didn't catch on? Would the movie even happen? And would Fox distance themselves from Singer in the aftermath of heinous allegations that shone an unpleasant light on their films? Well, speculation over: Bryan Singer's pretty much the guy.

Watch X Men Days of Future Past Online Once you elect a city, Gofobo will sharewhen that venue's Obvious Child screening will take place. If you can make it, click the Get A Pass button, and you and a guest will be set to see the comedy that has critics raving. Please note, Obvious Child is R-rated, so no one under the age of 17 will be admitted without a parent or legal guardian. You may only request one pair of tickets for this giveaway.
Watch Godzilla 2014 Online Check out what all the buzz is about, watch the wacky rom-com's trailer below: Based on the short film of the same name Obvious Child stars Jenny Slate as Donna Stern, a stand-up comedian struggling to make sense of life, love and adulthood in Brooklyn. A Valentine's Day goes off the rails with a weird but wonderful hook-up that results in Donna getting pregnant. She decides an abortion is the best option. But before she commits, Donna opts to track down her could-be baby-daddy. It's a love story that's daring to be very, very different.
Watch The Amazing Spider Man 2 Online Some critics are calling this Jenny Slate's star-making turn. And it's been a long time coming, with the comedienne plugging away on Saturday Night Live, Late Night with Jimmy Falon, Bored to Death, Kroll Show and Parks and Recreation, where she memorably played Jean-Ralfio's trainwreck of a sister, Mona-Lisa. She doubled our joy, when we didn't think such a thing was possible. So, we're on board for Obvious Child. How about you?
Watch Neighbors Online They ride together, they die together. Nicolas Winding Refn isn't abandoning his bro Ryan Gosling after the actor's directorial debut, the trippy, divisive Cannes mindbender Lost River. The Drive collaborators found themselves at Cannes with Refn a part of the jury, and Gosling debuting his new film on the Croisette. Lost River might not have won anything, but it certainly won Refn's heart.
Watch God's Not Dead Online Speaking to Vulture about the film, which might eventually be sold off by Warner Bros., Refn says, "Ah, my twin! I think it's a beautiful, beautiful, great movie that will grow on people. There are images from it that still stick with me. Because we're twins, we make the same movie. Separated at birth, we found each other. That's the thing about twins. We stick together."
Watch Divergent Online Lost River, based on a script Gosling wrote himself, deals with a kid discovering a secret underwater town in Detroit, leading his mother (Christina Hendricks) to engage in an elaborate search to find him. The film's packed many surreal touches into its runtime, and you can see some of them here in this official clip.
Watch Captain America The Winter Soldier Online It's admirable for Refn to stand up for his bro. The films the duo have worked on, which includes Drive and the hallucinatory Only God Forgives, showcase what feels like a singular vision, with Gosling almost acting as an appendage to Refn's ideas and concepts. He doesn't talk much in either movie, more of a totem for Refn's distant, trippy sensibility. You'd hope that maybe they could reunite on Refn's upcoming horror film.

Favourite child - Have you got one? (WhiteSnake)
Ok, I think as parents we'd all agree we'd lay down our lives for our kids. But that aside, have you got one child who has a special place in your heart? I got teenage boys (16 +15) and without doubt they are generally lazy, selfish and ungrateful. I know..

Watch Godzilla 2014 Online I love hearing that he's "deeply in love" with these new characters, especially when we take into account how crucial our investment in detectives Rust Cohle and Marty Hart was with the first season. Their story -- or their versions of the story -- were the driving force of the season. We'll have to start all over for Season 2, which will introduce us to a new story and new characters. Knowing Pizzolatto is already invested in them is certainly promising. He also mentions a vague non-Los Angeles California setting. California is a big state, so this story could be anywhere, but I'm guessing when he says "lesser known venues," he means somewhere outside of the major cities entirely, but who knows?
Watch X Men Days of Future Past Online (Via Indiewire), True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto had some interesting things to say about the process of getting True Detective made when he spoke on the To the Best of Our Knowledge podcast. Near the end of the conversation, he's asked about the second season, and Pizzolatto shares some new details about what's in store:Right now we're working with three leads and it takes place in California. Not Los Angeles, but some of the much lesser known venues of California. And we're going to try to capture a certain psychosphere ambiance of the place, much like we did in Season 1. And the characters are all new but I'm deeply in love with each of them. And we've got the entire series broken out with a couple scripts and we'll probably start casting in earnest within the coming month.

As of late, the only thing we really knew about the second season of HBO's True Detective was that Matthew McConaughey would definitely not be coming back for Season 2, which will center on a new crime and a new set of characters. And that, despite reports to the contrary, Jessica Chastain was not cast as one of the leads. But we now have some actual clues about Season 2, courtesy of True Detective creator himself, Nic Pizzolatto, who says the second season will center on three lead characters.

1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
1/2 cup minced white onion
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Cherry-Bourbon Pie
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2" pieces
Pie:
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 pie crust, homemade or store-bought
3 24.7-ounce jars pitted sour cherries in syrup, drained well (about 6 cups)
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup bourbon
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
For crumble:
Whisk all ingredients except butter in a medium bowl until no lumps of sugar remain. Rub butter into oat mixture with your fingertips until it's completely incorporated. If butter begins to soften while mixing, chill mixture to firm it up, about 15 minutes (cold butter ensures a flaky, tender crumble). Cover and chill crumble up to 5 days ahead.
For pie:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; lightly coat with nonstick spray (for easy cleanup in case the pie bubbles over) and set aside. Line pie dish with crust and crimp edges decoratively. Place pie dish on prepared baking sheet.
Combine cherries and remaining 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Using a rubber spatula, gently mix until cherries are coated and mixture is evenly distributed.
Pour cherries into pie crust and top evenly with crumble. Bake until pie crust and center of crumble are deep golden brown and juices from cherries are bubbling and look thickened, 1 1/4–1 1/2 hours. (The juices will begin to ooze out of crust and onto foil lined sheet.) Let pie cool for at least 2 hours at room temperature to allow filling to set properly. (Cutting into the pie before it's set will result in a runny filling.) Cover and let stand up to 1 day at room temperature.

Watch The Other Woman Online For now, all we have are outlines and photos of a project that could have been a darker turning point for Steven Spielberg's career. It wouldn't be the last turning point that could have marked his chance to take a darker path, but its one that I wouldn't mind seeing revived with his close supervision. If Steven Spielberg can help J.J. Abrams pay homage to E.T. in Super 8, then surely he could team up with someone like Adam Wingard (director of the home invasion thriller You're Next) or Jason Eisener (who provided a similar story with his Slumber Party Alien Abduction segment of V/H/S 2) and make Night Skies a reality.
Watch The Grand Budapest Hotel Online Kolchak was a major character for a demographic that is currently in the vicinity of 40: that same demographic went to Dark Shadows with Johnny Depp, but no one younger than that bothered, and that film lost quite a bit of money. This time around? It's probably likely Kolchak is left alone.
Watch Frozen Online After the success of Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, Steven Spielberg was eager to start work on Night Skies, a sequel to his alien masterpiece that would turn into a horror story of a family terrorized by a group of aliens, in a sort of Straw Dogs meets E.T storyline. If it wasn't for this project failing, E.T. would have never existed. Then again, judging by the newly released photos of his unused concepts for the film, E.T. never would have existed without the concept designs of Academy Award-winning creature designer Rick Baker.
Watch That Awkward Moment Online Cinematallica scooped the details, as well as some previously unreleased photos that Mr. Baker himself has been sharing through his official Twitter account. The work is the stuff that movie historians have dreamed of seeing, and it's nothing short of amazing. His concepts for the aliens of Night Skies, which predate Carlo Rambaldi's work on the E.T. character, prove to be a very heavy influence on the eventual form of everyone's favorite extraterrestrial. Taking his own creation, showcased on the top, and tweaking it ever so slightly, Baker shows us why these photos may not have seen the light of day until now.
Watch Heaven is for Real Online The film was going to utilize eleven different alien designs crafted by Rick Baker's own hand, each with their own distinct personalities and some even bearing names with their descriptions, as Cinematallica was keen on sharing. Among those eleven, Scar, Squirt, and Buddy were prominently mentioned, with the most villainous being Scar and the other two being in the kinder, gentler category. I'm willing to bet that "E.T.'s Dad" is none other than Scar himself, and below you'll see the design for the baby of the group, little Squirt himself.
Watch Rio 2 Online Why didn't we see Night Skies in a theater near us? Well, Harrison Ford's significant other at the time, Melissa Matheson, visited the set of the then in production Raiders Of The Lost Ark. While there, she came up with a softer version of the original John Sayles story that focused solely on a kind alien lost from home. A screenplay and a deleted cameo from her boyfriend later, E.T: The Extraterrestrial became a smash hit that would define Steven Spielberg's career and would give Carlo Rambaldi the credit for creating a creature so embedded in our cinematic iconography that it's hard to imagine him in any other form.
Watch The Raid 2 Online The report reminds us that a script by D.V. DiVincentis (Grosse Point Blank) has been completed (and has been for a while), and right now it's only about if Johnny Depp, who's been developing the project for years, signs on the dotted line. Depp is currently filming Black Mass. Disney's got him on the hook not only for the Alice In Wonderland follow-up Through The Looking Glass, but also Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales -- both sequels to billion dollar movies. There's motivation to make these movies, but not necessarily demand, particularly if Transcendence had anything to say about Depp's declining appeal as a leading man.
Watch A Haunted House 2 Online Of course, this is a pretty broad note by Deadline, and not indicative of an actual shift in development on The Night Stalker. Edgar Wright's likely got his choice of options, not to mention that long-rumored Baby Driver film he's set up back home at Working Title Films. And this is also Disney... are they really going to bring him back on after he ditched their Marvel project with a little more than a year to go before release? Studio politics ensure that everyone always ends up back in bed with one another, but the Ant-Man situation just might be too fresh in their memories to give this forgotten property a go.
Watch Transcendence Online After the very high-profile exit from Ant-Man, the entire industry is wondering what director Edgar Wright is going to do next. Will he return to England and make another smaller picture? Will he return to TV? Could he possibly set up shop at a new studio? According to one specious report, he might just return to Disney.
Deadline seems to feel that Wright could return to the Mouse House for Kolchak: The Night Stalker, a property he was developing years ago. This adaptation of the semi-popular seventies television series followed Carl Kolchak, a tabloid newspaperman who also served as something of a paranormal investigator, getting involved in cases involving werewolves, monsters and boogeymen. There was comedy not only in star Darren McGavin's incredulity at these monsters, but also the extreme skepticism shown by Kolchak's friends and colleagues. It's very likely the mixture of scares and laughs had a massive impact on Wright's cinematic interests. If you're curious, a lot of Kolchak appears to be on YouTube.

Watch X Men Days of Future Past Online Obviously, none of us were inside that car and can confirm what happened, but in the grand scheme of things to lie about, this doesn’t send up any warning flags at all. If you feel like you need confirmation for some reason, however, feel free to bust out the rhyme next time you see Morgan Freeman out and about and see if he plays along.
Watch Godzilla 2014 Online In complete shock, Hill allegedly word vomited out a "thank you" and then Freeman topped it all off by asking him to then do the same rhyme with Morgan. God only knows what might have been going through the legend’s head when he got chatty, but something tells me he was having a better time than Hill who was still terrified and overwhelmed to be acting opposite someone like Freeman.
Watch The Amazing Spider Man 2 Online Appearing on The Graham Norton Show, Jonah Hill revealed Morgan Freeman didn’t speak to him between takes. They just sat in complete silence, right next to each other in the car. It was allegedly uncomfortable and excruciating, and it took a turn for the weird during the last day when, out of nowhere, Freeman started talking, or at least singing. Jonah, Jonah. Ba-nana-nana-fa-fona. Mi My. Ma-Jonah.
Watch Godzilla Online Back in 2006, Jonah Hill wasn’t super famous. He hadn’t received either of his Academy Award nominations or toplined any huge comedies. Instead, he was probably still best known as either the fat kid in Accepted or the awkward dude who couldn’t figure out how the eBay store worked in 40 Year Old Virgin. During this time, he was hired to work on the film 10 Items Or Less opposite Morgan Freeman. The movie never got a very wide release and didn’t make a huge dent at the box office, but it’s a cute enough film. More importantly, it opens with an extended car ride scene featuring Hill and Freeman. Because of the amount of dialogue, it took 3 days to shoot, and according to Hill, it was the most awkward and uncomfortable 3 days of his life.
Watch Neighbors Online The feel of every movie set is a little bit different. Sometimes the cast gets on the same page very quickly and becomes almost like a family. Sometimes, the set is a professional and focused atmosphere throughout, or it devolves into a scary and miserable place of conflict. You just never know until you show up. Jonah Hill could tell you that better than everyone else. His experiences have been all over the board, including one that involved the most awkward car ride of his life with Morgan Freeman.
Watch God's Not Dead Online La French is likely indebted to the poliziotteschi genre, a type of crime film that emerged out of Italy and inspired the gritty American crime films of the sixties and seventies. They often made these films in France as well, and often they were featuring notable American actors and filmed without sound, later dubbed into another language in the style of spaghetti westerns. These films were often seedier, more violent, and more profane than their American counterparts, sharing the common thread of a bleak outlook on life and an absolutely jamming soundtrack provided by the likes of Stelvio Cipriani, Guido & Maurizio Angelis or even Ennio Morricone. Hopefully, La French sounds just as awesome.
Watch Divergent Online Jean Dujardin will be co-starring with Gilles Lellouche, the star of Gaelic hits Little White Lies, Point Blank and Tell No One. Cedric Jimenez is directing, and the film is being shot in 35 MM, with select theaters in America (likely Alamo Drafthouses) showcasing not only the film in that format, but a block of trailers for a host of other French crime thrillers, some of which seem to be inspiring this latest film. Drafthouse has also planned a vintage VHS release of the film for home distribution, a unique gesture that speaks to the legacy of the genre.
Watch Captain America The Winter Soldier Online La French is a period piece set in the 1970's, based upon the story of the judge who dedicated his life to bringing down the French Connection. The French Connection, for those of you not up on your drug history, was an elaborate, decades-old method of trafficking heroin from Turkey to France, and then through Canada into America. This procedure was almost singlehandedly responsible for the bulk of heroin abuse in America during the sixties and seventies, particularly in New York City. And hey, they even made a movie about that. You should see it sometime.
Watch Vampire Academy Online Overseas, Jean Dujardin is the coolest cucumber around. Domestically, however, despite a Best Actor Oscar, Dujardin is just another handsome French actor, albeit one who stole the show in The Monuments Men and The Wolf Of Wall Street. Thanks to Drafthouse Films, however, that's looking to change. Jean Dujardin's about to hit our shores in the Frenchiest French movie that ever Frenched, La French.
Drafthouse Films has announced they've nabbed the domestic distribution rights for the actioner, which showcased an eight minute sizzle reel at Cannes. Drafthouse Films CEO and founder Tim League awesomely says, "One of our goals is to get young audiences excited about foreign language film... We combed the market and devoured the official selections. Nothing excited us more than La French." Foreign films are behind the eight ball: U.S. box office for the top five foreign films has declined by 61% over the last seven years, according to this Indiewire piece, and too many of them are simply providing fodder for English-language remakes. League is doing God's work, folks.

Porcini-Gorgonzola Burgers with Veal Demi-Glacé
Demi-glace
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 1/2 pounds meaty veal bones (such as shank knuckle bones or neck bones)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 celery stalk with leaves, chopped
12 cups cold water, divided
2 teaspoons tomato paste
3 fresh parsley sprigs
2 fresh thyme sprigs
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 cups dry red wine
Burgers
2 cups water
1 1/2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms,* broken into 1/2-inch pieces
3 pounds ground sirloin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter
6 4-inch square or round sourdough rolls, halved horizontally
Fresh arugula
Olive oil
6 1/4-inch-thick slices Gorgonzola cheese
For demi-glace:
Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add veal bones and sauté until deep brown on all sides, about 12 minutes. Transfer bones to bowl. Add onion, carrot, and celery to pot. Sauté until browned, about 6 minutes. Add 2 cups cold water, tomato paste, herbs, and peppercorns; bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Add bones with any accumulated juices, then remaining 10 cups water to pot. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until stock is reduced to 2 1/2 cups, about 4 hours. Strain into 4-cup glass measuring cup, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Refrigerate stock uncovered 1 hour.
Spoon off fat from surface of stock. Place stock in heavy medium saucepan; add wine and simmer until reduced to 1 cup demi-glace, about 25 minutes. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.)
For burgers:
Bring 2 cups water and mushrooms to boil in small saucepan. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand until mushrooms soften, about 20 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to medium skillet. Slowly pour soaking liquid into skillet, leaving any sediment behind. Boil over medium-high heat until liquid is reduced to glaze, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Cool mushrooms. Transfer to work surface; chop mushrooms coarsely.
Transfer mushrooms and any juices to large bowl. Add meat, salt, and pepper; mix gently. Shape mixture into six 1-inch-thick patties. Place on foil-lined baking sheet. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
Preheat broiler. Rewarm demi-glace over medium-low heat; add butter and whisk until melted. Remove from heat. Place rolls, cut side up, on baking sheet. Broil until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove rolls; maintain broiler setting. Arrange roll bottoms on plates. Top with arugula. Heat 2 large broilerproof skillets over medium-high heat; brush with oil. Add 3 burgers to each skillet. Cook to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Top each burger with slice of cheese. Broil burgers until cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute. Place burgers on roll bottoms; spoon some demi-glace over. Cover with roll tops. Serve, passing remaining demi-glace separately.

Chicken-Fried Eggplant
Chicken-Fried Eggplant
VERY ADDICTING!!!
1 large eggplant, peeled and sliced 1/2" to 1" thick, then into "fries"
vegetable oil for frying
for dry coating:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
for wet batter:
1 cup flat beer
1 egg, beaten
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Heat vegetable oil in a pot to a depth of 2" until it reaches 360 degrees; when you drop a small cube of bread into it, it should immediately start sizzling and turning into a crouton, but not burning.
Meanwhile, combine all the dry coating ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.
For the wet batter, combine the beer and egg in a small bowl. Stir together the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl, then slowly pour in the beer mixture, combining well with a fork. Stir until all the lumps are gone.
Coat eggplant fries lightly with flour, then dip in wet batter, then return to the dry flour for another dredging. Lower fries gently into hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 5 to 8 minutes, until coating is golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Serves 2 to 4 as a side dish; can easily be doubled
