geeky recipe and party ideas
Break an Egg!: A Broadway Cookbook won’t be here until September 1st, but I’ve got a couple sneak peek recipes to hold you over. The first: this delicious strawberry rhubarb tart inspired by Oklahoma! Want the farmers and the cowmen to fight over your picnic hamper at the annual auction? […]
Ten years ago today, I published the first post on The Geeky Hostess. TEN YEARS. At that point, I just wanted an excuse to learn a bit more about cooking and parties, and wanted to showcase a bit more female representation in the geeky fandoms I loved. In that time, […]
Life has been a bit busier around here lately, and that’s because The Geeky Hostess recently became a Geeky Mom! Leonidas (or Lil’ Geek) was born on April 15th, 2020. Everyone is healthy, happy, and sleep deprived. Not much will change for The Geeky Hostess, but I may include some […]

If I gave you the chance to commit some crimes–pickpocketing, theft, and fraud to name a few–and get away with it, would you? I had the opportunity to do just that a couple weeks ago, and while it wasn’t technically real (I am posting about this publicly, after all), it […]
I have a few shows I re-watch whenever I need a pick-me-up, and Brooklyn 99 has started to become one of those. And while I’m an Amy all the way, I often feel for Boyle and his ridiculous food obsession. In the episode “The Negotiation” Boyle decides to open a […]
Tonight is the series finale of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, the most amazing musical comedy that deals with super important conversations about mental health and relationships. And pretzels.
