The Devil Wears Nada!
Alright everyone, gird your loins! This is a 911 Fashion Emergency!! Is your skirt length out dated? Do you spell Gabbana wrong? Wear last year's couture? (so wrong) Eat cellulite laden chowder? Attend hideous skirt conventions? Then stop right now, back away from the cheese cube and come hang out with us for the night! Don't make us feed you to the models!
We're being devilish-ly handsome and whipping up some deviled eggs for this night's outing! And no, they are not fat free! But thankfully this hunk isn't scrutinizing sizes... rather designing magic in the kitchen.. and it's going to be diabolically delightful!
Classic Deviled Eggs With Sundried Tomatoes
6 Hard-Boiled Large Eggs
4 Ounces Sundried Tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and minced)
3 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper (to taste)
1 Dash Lemon Juice
1 Dash Garlic
2 Tablespoons chopped Basil
2 Tablespoons Paprika (For Garnish)
Pastry Bag (For Filling)
We're doing this Dolce for you! Hard boil the eggs, blanche them in cold water and then shell. Halve the eggs lengthwise, spoon the yolks out into a bowl, and stir in the minced sundried tomatoes, the mayonnaise, the mustard, lemon juice, garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Mix vigorously with a fork until smooth and creamy. Transfer the filling to a pastry bag.
Maneuver the filling to the bottom of the bag and cut a small portion of the tip off. Pipe the filling into the egg-white halves.
We are in desperate need of some Chanel! We have to head to the "Beauty Dept." and glamorize these chicks!
Garnish the stuffed eggs with chopped basil, and sprinkle liberally with paprika.
Arrange delicately on a platter. The recipe can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated. Serve chilled or at room temperature – whenever the runway show is ready to begin.
Of course... there's always the Narciso Rodriguez, Manolo Blahnik or Nancy Gonzalez presentation. We bet your size 6 ass that this will knock those
Jimmy Choo's right off your feet!
Bien s'amuser!!!

Twilight With a Bloody Twist
Team Edward? Team Jacob? We think after you drink these Bloody Mary’s you will be eternally Team Hunky Host!
Are you ready for a dark romance that seeps into your soul? Well this Hunk has the drama you've been aching for... Come sink your teeth into this love affair between spicy and hot, shy and timid, and oh so irresistible!
Get WHIPLASH with our Rogue Bloody Mary
Much like Bella and Edward's dangerous love, this recipe will be hard to resist . What goes better with a teenage romance (or helps you relive your own) than a wicked spirit with some BITE?
If you’re still buying bottled Bloody Mary mix, you’re not drinking real Blood...y Mary's! Whipping up your own Bloody takes less than ten minutes, and in the end, the payoff is worth it: A salty, spicy, irresistibly tangy concoction that will have you falling to your knees. Take it from this Hunk – it even knocked Edward down!
What You’ll Need to Get Bloody:
Bottle of Your Favorite Vodka – Chilled
1 28 oz Can Whole or Crushed Tomatoes
10 Tbsp Lemon Juice (about 4 to 5 lemons)
2-4 Tbsp Hot Horseradish
2 Tbsp Lime Juice (about 1 to 2 limes)
6 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tbsp Tabasco Sauce
1 tsp Celery Seed
1 tsp Sea Salt
1 Tbsp Cracked Black Peppercorn
For the garnish:
Celery Stalks Cut To Your Favorite Length
(Add Food Coloring To Your List For More Drama – Your Color Choice) For Best Color Results Leave In Water For 48 hrs
Lemon
Lime
Olives
Let's first start off by prepping the garnish. Trim the celery stalks to fit about 2-3 inches above the glasses you'll be serving in (size matters, after all). We're going to add some color to really invigorate this spirited relationship. Place a few drops of each food coloring into glasses of water.
Let the celery soak up the color – the longer it sits, the brighter the stalks and leaves will become. Set aside while you continue the recipe. For best color results prepare ahead, leave in water for 48 hrs.
Blend all the drink ingredients together until smooth and set it aside. Fill each glass with ice and set those aside as well. Pour about 1.5 oz of vodka (heck, add 2!) into a shaker with ice, and fill the shaker 3/4 of the way up with your zesty tomato mix. Shake away, making sure all that goodness mingles together and have a romance of their own!
Strain into your glass filled with ice. Carefully peel a lemon twist and hang it on the rim, add a squeeze of lime, a skewer of olives, and lastly add a colorful stalk or two of celery. Top off your bloody treat with a grind of pepper and enjoy the passion your taste buds are having and their desire for more!
Now curl up with your favorite vamp or wolf and sink your teeth into the romantic classic ... Twilight.
If you don’t love the movie don't worry, the drinks will be awesome and only your life is eternal not the movie!

Homokind's Breakfast at Tiffany's!
Darling, you've made it back to the party! So wonderful to see you again. Simply settle in... we're about to have Breakfast!
Date night (or morning) arrives in a pretty blue box, neatly and perfectly presented with a satin bow. It's time to take an old classic and pair it with a mod spin... a little je ne sais quoi that we think even Holly Golightly would admire!
Breakfast At Tiffany's Marvelous Grocery List
Cake Mix (Or Muffin Mix) Of Your Choice
Blue Frosting
White Frosting
Faux Diamond Decorations (we used a ring)Hpnotiq liqueur
Don't Forget To Grab The DVD: Breakfast At Tiffany'sYou can always tell what kind of a person a man really is by the cupcakes he bakes. And darling, these cakes are spectacular.
And a good baker knows that the best ingredients make the best feasts. There's no exception here, especially when there are hearts to be won! Start off by mixing together all the ingredients for the cake batter.
Turn up the heat, and bake the cupcakes accordingly. Honestly, could anything bad ever happen here?
It's useful being top banana in the shock department! And shocking is making splendid blue frosting... perhaps matching the color of a precarious blue box we know of?
As if that's not pretty enough, go ahead and wrap that beautiful cupcake with a gorgeous satin bow. It's all about presentation, which means diamonds for a finishing touch...
Before you can venture off to bed to enjoy a classic, be sure to chill the Hpnotiq and lovingly pour into a bedazzled martini glass. No paper cups here darlings, only high-class elegance. This swanky 60's retro date is certain to make a splash.
Moon river wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
You dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you're going I'm going your way...

End of Summer Picnic
Welcome to the Hunky Host. We've made this simple for you. Any domestically challenged diva can follow along with our Hunky Host, and before you can say satin sheets, your date night will be aching for another chapter. Summer is coming to a close, what better way than to have that last picnic with someone special before the fall weather hits. This week we're suggesting you get that temptress of yours outdoors, and share your spread that will delight any discerning taste bud. We're talking about meats that melt in your mouth, cheeses that tingle on your tongue, and fruits by the handful to make you smile with every naughty bite. Enjoy!
Let's start out with a Fab Grocery List! Things that make you go VA VA VOOM!
Perfectly Plump Grapes
Two of Your Favorite Cheeses, Maybe a soft Brie and a hard Peppercorn Jack
Long, Fresh Baguette
Nice Thick Salami and Delicate Prosciutto
1 Firm Apple, Perhaps a Fuji or a Pink Lady
Sweet Honey
Handful of Nuts (Walnuts)
Fresh Figs
Bacon (We Suggest Maple Bacon)
1 Delightful Bottle of White Wine (A Chardonnay or maybe a crisp Pinot Grigio would suit this palette)
Since this is a picnic, we chose a wooden cutting board to arrange our spread on. Our Hunk displayed the cheeses, salami and prosciutto in a pattern on the block. Be creative here, it's called artistic license, and we're all about being seductive!
Arrange the grapes and the apples as a sweet border. Next, take that fresh baguette and slice it up into nice bite size pieces. Line them up on both sides of the tray so there's plenty to go around. We encourage tasting... a good host will always make sure everything is just right!
Next, slice the apple and sprinkle a handful of walnuts alongside. Nuts make everything sexy! Open the honey and generously drizzle some over the apple slices and walnuts. You can never go wrong with drizzling... Or with honey... These will pair wonderfully with some cheese on the perfectly sliced baguette.
Onto the figs! If you've never had figs, you're in for a treat. These sweet beauties are the perfect end to a summer palette pleaser. Cut these babies in half, and as an extra special delight, cut some of the brie into small squares and place one in the center of each fig.
Then take that ridiculously tasty bacon, a half of slice will do, and firmly wrap the fig all the way around. Fire up the grill (hey, it's still summer) and let those exquisitely plump figs caramelize while the bacon crisps. Sizzling good times!
This is magic right here! Once they are done, you're ready for your picnic!
Grab your charcuterie platter with all the beautiful fruits and cheeses and bread and salami that you so seductively placed. More importantly, grab your sweetie, that cold bottle of wine, a pair of wine glasses, and a blanket for 2. Hit the backyard, beach, park, or even the local vista point at dusk. You'll be grinning from ear to ear and filled with joie de vivre as you and your honey enjoy a provacatively peaceful afternoon melting together in an amorous moment.
Here's to flirting with the end of the summer! Bone Apetite!
