Originally from Argentina, chimichurri is a delicious marinade for chicken and can be used as a spread for many other grilled dishes. Its ingredients are chopped parsley, minced garlic, vegetable oil, white (or red) vinegar, and red pepper flakes.

What do you get if you edit 50's and 60's coffee commercials, leaving just the parts were the guys are jerks? Fifty three seconds of hilarity, that's what! With a healthy dose of sexism, of course.

Apparently a Phoenix-area Sushi restaurant has rolled out the “9-11 Remembrance Roll” to pay tribute to the tragedy. So that's totally weird.
