Welcome To My Home

So a blogger by the name of Mr. Condescending has put out a call to his fellow bloggers to display publicly the contents of their homes. You would think he wants to get to know us all better but really he is just out of ideas and needs other people to pick up the slack. Due to my incredible egomania, I took the bait: hook, line, and sinker. I just can't resist an opportunity to show off. So here are the requested contents of my not-so-humble abode.
Mr. C has a crazy cool globe and candle chandelier so I figured I would show off my favorite lamp too. It was originally oil burning and it sits atop a bitchin' marble table. I also like those two glass balls for obvious reasons.

This picture is a little dark but these are my favorite movies. You probably like Definitely Maybe, Marley & Me, and other crappy shit like that. Oh yeah, you totally watch that Monty Python trash and act out the skits with your nerdy ass friends.
This is my favorite bookshelf (out of four). This is where I display to my guests just how smart and well versed I am in my subjects of study. Do you feel uneducated after looking at this picture? You should.
These are my two favorite cookbooks. I don't use them that much but they have very good taste pairing basics. They are good for an idea or a concept but I don't use direct recipes. I am too good for that.
I don't have any booze on hand but this is what is in my recycling. Too bad all you can get in your loser state is PBR and Kendall-Jackson. By the way don't get the Bayern pictured here. It sucks ass. I only bought this ale because their pilsner is the shit.
This is my kitchen and spice rack. Before you say some dumb shit like my spices should not be exposed to direct sunlight, realize this is a leftover window from an extension on my house. It peers into another room, so fuck off.

I am also supposed to name what I will be serving. Since it is summertime I will be grilling ribs and chicken. They are to be served with bacorn. Dessert will be bacon peanut butter cookies.

So that is my house. Please feel free to comment on how jealous you are.

Good thing that lamp can use oil, it comes in handy for you when you 'forget' to pay your electric bill!

FMJ rules though so Ill pay the bill if it means I can watch that.

The Peach Tart said...

Well Mr. Condescending hoodwinked me into this little exercise too. I have to tell you that I absolutely love your blog. I can't wait to see a new one. I too have a similar snarky attitude but it doesn't come out as much in my blogs (I don't curse at people:). Great looking kitchen and I am so cooking the bacorn. Last week I went to a new restaurant that served as an appetizer six strips of thick cut bacon with a dipping sauce of homemade peanut butter. It was awesome.

Derek Bowles said...

Where's the beads?

Cooking Asshole said...

Mr. C
You can't pay shit.

TPT
Thank you. Yours ain't too shabby either. That appetizer sounds quite appetizing.

Cooking Asshole said...

DB
Anal beads?

Derek Bowles said...

Hippie beads that cover the doorways.

Cooking Asshole said...

Oh! Sorry, none of that here. Although the name of that wine is "Grateful Red"

'Cuz I Felt Like It! said...

Don't you mean your trailer?

Cooking Asshole said...

It is a 1912 Craftsman! Not a trailer.

linlah said...

Hmm, What About Bob, that explains nothing. I wish I had that window in my kitchen.

Cooking Asshole said...

What About Bob is one of the best comedies ever. The window kicks some serious ass.

Deray said...

I'm absolutely jealous of your kitchen. My sister would die if she saw all your spices!

Cooking Asshole said...

I have pretty much everything I ever need to use. Took a while to build it up!

the girl with the pink teacup said...

Long time reader, semi-occasional commenter here: Like The Peach Tart above, Mr C targeted me for his public display of homes challenge, too. Clearly, you've done an awesome job at this, as always. Impressive bookshelf! And a little Batman goes a long way...

Cooking Asshole said...

You did a great job as well. I love the scarecrow!

FreakSmack said...

I have all those movies on dvd too. Thank God I am from a state that serves the proud to be red, white, and blue beer known as Pabst Blue Ribbon. Do you know what I mean Vern?

Cooking Asshole said...

Nice! Only hipsters drink PBR here.

Nothing Profound said...

So how much did you have to pay Hugh Hefner to hire out his mansion for the photo shoot? You don't really expect me to believe you live anywhere so classy?

Cooking Asshole said...

I doubt the Hef has this many theology books.

Mr. Condescending said...

What's that pricey shit that comes in "threads"?

Cooking Asshole said...

Are you talking about saffron? I got that shit.

Mr. Condescending said...

That's it! Some bitch told me turmeric substitutes for it once

Cooking Asshole said...

Turmeric can only be used as a substitute for the color...NOT the flavor.

FreakSmack said...

Here we don't know what the hell a hipster is. I always thought they were hippies. No Offense meant

Cooking Asshole said...

I take no offense as I am not a hippie. A hipster is an unemployed loser who wears tight ass clothes, has retarded hair, rides a fixie bike, and bitches about how everyone is stupid but them.

Brad said...

That is the best definition of a hipster I have read.

Nice place, btw.

Cooking Asshole said...

Thanks Brad.

Libby said...

I could have guessed "Easy Rider" was on your favorite movies list.

Nice pictures, though. Love that marble table top.

Cooking Asshole said...

I heard they shot the whole thing on acid.

Libby said...

That seems suspiciously like something a hippie would say.

Cooking Asshole said...

Well some hippie told me that...don't shoot the messenger.

Doll said...

What's that movie on the top right? It looks like Mariah Carey's "Glitter'..

Cooking Asshole said...

No, it's Bennifer's "Gigli"

This is That Was Great said...

hey great idea, leave the window, seriously are you living on a sitcom soundstage? tell your landlord to put in a damn wall already. And those movies were cool, but how about at least one poster from the last couple decades (What about Bob doesn't count). And no Back to the Future poster is heresy.

Cooking Asshole said...

I own my house and I love my window to nowhere! Back to the Future is the shit.

Auri said...

Way cute place! Looks like you haven't purchased any books since college though, pal;) Ha Ha... I think most of us purchase the bulk of our 'intelectual' collection in college to be fair. Except my hub... he's strange like that. I love your movie choices!
I need a new spice rack... I've got way too many and yes... they get some sun *gasp*...
