“Star Trek” Rebooted *****
Although big screen re-imaginings of comic books or TV series have long been de rigueur, none have taken on a series with such a rich back story and committed fan base as “Star Trek.” With the collected weight of the original show, William Shatner’s silver-screen time as James T.

Abrams has decided to completely reset the series through a simple time travel concept that conveniently changes the entirety of the history of the “Star Trek” universe.

In order to ease the pain, On the Menu took it upon itself to try some of the season’s best and easiest recipes.
The Undercover Lover
Sometimes sex is great, but conditions are not. Must star-crossed fuckers fornicators bid a tearful goodbye, promising that someday, perhaps in another lifetime, their sweating bodies will once again join in screaming doggie-style bliss? Hell no. Not when they can copulate in confidence.
The Honeymoon Is Over
So, Mackenzie Weinger is our new editor in chief. I’ve accepted that. But I’m so sick and tired of this damn honeymoon.
