I wish you would have announced a chip casting call. I would have sent the SE office a few bags of Tim's Cascade.

Delicious.

I don't necessarily agree with a 30 min. resting time. Not to mention, if the coating was just flour, it would have pasted up by then.

Usually, a 5-10 min rest is sufficient for me.

I use pie tins as breading stations; we seem to have an abundance in them in my kitchen due to my wife's on again off again baking jags.

Excellent vid. They sell Bubble Up at a local butcher in my neighborhood; it's delicious!

So many great "unconventional" sodas:

Green River, Big Red, Crush Grape, Fanta Strawberry, Nehi peach, and Faygo Rock n Rye.

Why did this post come at a time when I am trying to limit my soda consumption? *Sigh*

I get mine from Market Spice in Pike Place Market. I've always wanted to go to World Spice, but so far I've been unable to locate it. It must be the better of the two, as I continuously see it mentioned as superior.

I respectfully disagree. While Pike Place does have its share of tourist trap stalls, places like Sosio's bring the goods.

Also of note is the Edmonds farmers market for some of us non - downtowners.

Music is an integral part of almost any activity I am involved in, and cooking is no exception.

I find that solid tempo music is the best. No dramatic lulls in tempo to slow down, nor balls out ferocity to overwhelm.

On the rock side I find most Rush, Ac/Dc, Clutch or even Alice in Chains to be fitting.

On the Metallic side of things, Candlemass, Blind Guardian, Manowar, or early Sabbath.

The pinnacle of house cleaning/cooking music? Van Halen's 1. Outrageously suitable. Never leaves my player for very long.

Had to. Here's a youtube link to Worf's revelation.

Alright, it's been over 24 hours. I'll bite. This made me laugh my ass off, and also made me hungry. The song never ends... it did turn me on to the phenomenon of sugar rice however.

With his mind on his muenster, and his muenster on his mind?

A breakfast joint around here serves Devon(shire) cream over deep fried Nutter Butter french toast with bananas.

Too sweet/rich for me, but the wife orders nothing else.

My Grandma told me that if I didn't eat the crusts on my sandwiches, my hair will fall out. I learned to love crusts of all types. Baldness still found me. Blah.

I burn my mouth on Hot Pockets. Every time. I only eat them 3-4 times a year, and I am fully aware of their lavaliciousness, yet they still seem to harbor ill will towards the roof of my mouth.

Fry oil seems to take perverse pleasure in singeing my forearms.

Chronic dry eye from chopping onions prodigiously.
