In Videos: McCain and Obama on Cheese Slices
When an election lasts this long, people start doing all kinds of crazy stuff. For one man, that meant rendering the faces of both presidential candidates on slices of American cheese. Artist Esteban Pulido used liquid photo emulsion for his art piece, which will be on display in Normon, Oklahoma, at Forward Foods through the rest of the day. CNN even sent a crew out there to document the decomposition, which is nasty and, according to Pulido, metaphorical. Short video, after the jump....Blogwatch: Bakerella's VOTE Cake Pops
Sometimes actions, and food, speak louder than words. It may have been a queen who declared, "Let them eat cake!" but Bakerella insists that democracy can be just as sweet. These stunning and patriotic little cake pops are Bakerella's "sweet reminder" to take your bite out of the American pie today: VOTE!...Election Night Party Food
Photographs from Huffington Post Staring at the screen tomorrow night, watching as states light up red and blue, will require energy. Depending on the winner, it may also require comfort food. Here's some ideas for your election night party menu: Savory "Right Wings" (recipe) Pork Barrel Tenderloin (recipe) Baked ACORN Squash (recipe) War "Hero" Sandwiches (recipes) Obama's Favorite Chili (recipe) Elitist Foods Involving Arugula (recipes) McCain Frozen Foods (more info) Sloppy Plumber Joes (recipe)...How Proposition 2 Will Affect California's Chicken Cages
Photograph from roboppy on Flickr Caged chickens are right up there with gay marriage and Barack Obama on California's ballot this year. If passed tomorrow, the hot button Proposition 2, or the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act, will prohibit the "cruel confinement" of California's pigs, cows, and chickens. Farmers would have until January 1, 2015, to increase space within crates and cages or go entirely cage-free. While many farmers and vets are behind the happy vision of animals being able to stretch their legs, the opposition argues that it could put local egg farmers out of business. If cage real estate gets too expensive, eggs will have to be imported from Mexico (where cage roominess standards don't exist)....In Videos: Obama Bacon Man
Honestly, I don't know what's going on in this video. Fake Barack Obama makes bacon, some of the kids behind Sizzology rap about it, and then—how did we ever miss this tidbit of news?—they cut in a Michelle Obama breakdown in which she says, "I do my protein as bacon. We're bacon people." I'd imagine that was clipped from some appearance on a morning talk show where she either made a recipe or talked about breakfast. The video, after the jump....Free Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream for Voting
As if you needed a reason to do your civic duty, but free ice cream don't hurt nothin'. "Come to participating scoop shops on November 4 from 5 to 8 p.m., show us you voted and you'll get a free scoop of ice cream. Show us your 'I Voted' sticker, a photo of you in front of your polling station, do the 'I Voted dance,' or just tell us you voted." Hmm. Those guidelines seem pretty lax. I predict a rampant amount of ice cream fraud the evening of the election....Obama and McCain Inspire Jack-o-Lanterns
This year, pumpkins are the newest form of campaigning. There's campaign-o-lantern patterns for both McCain and Obama couples. Some more here. Over at Zombie Pumpkins, Obama is ahead by over 25-percent in pumpkin polls. Obama's team even has their own blog called Yes We Carve, dedicated to Obamalanterns....Sarah Palin: Locavore
"And if you look twice at the reasons why Palin hunts, they resemble an ideal cherished by city-dwelling, New York Times-reading folks. Sarah Palin is a locavore, harvesting meat from her local 'foodshed.'" [Slate, via Eater L.A.]...Schlafly's Beer Ballot
We told you how Jones Soda Co. made it possible to vote with soda, but Schlafly's brewery in St. Louis is offering you a beer ballot. The St. Louis brewery is advertising its beers with campaign slogans; drinkers can choose from Baracktoberfest, McCain's Maverick APA Ale, Palin Ale, and Hefebiden Unfiltered Wheat Ale. The company is also offering Baracktoberfest and Palin Ale T-shirts, all endorsed with the quipping "I'm Tom Schlafly, and I approve this beverage." In a further attempt to gauge the election through food, the Schlafly website says of the Baracktoberfest shirts: "Due to overwhelming demand, we have sold out of our first run! We are currently restocking Baracktoberfest shirts." They are, however, "very low in stock"...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
