Win Tickets to the Los Angeles Vendy Awards

I may be biased by living so nearby but I have to say LA because of the ethnic variety and authenticity of the food. Besides, Kogi is amazing.

Win a Free Organic D'Artagnan Turkey Here!

See, I would live on bread alone if it were possible, so I'm going to have to go with Dorie's corn muffins.

Grocery bagging violations

From the other side of the fence, I work at a store that has self checkout but we often help the customers bag their groceries. Just like you all get annoyed that the checker just throws the items down to the bagger, we get annoyed when customers place things on the belt in an order that guarantees squishing unless we jump up and move things aside. I saw a women scan a watermelon and a cantaloupe directly after a loaf of bread and another scan a gallon of milk right after her eggs and bread. Not to mention the people who stand their bottles of wine (or other things) upright on the belt when there is obviously a problem when the item gets to the end of the belt.
Most of us have no problem bagging to your specifications as long as you let us know before we start bagging. I've seen the people who are incredibly interested in avoiding cross contamination as well as the people who don't care and just want as few bags as possible. If you tell us, (especially let us know you have your own bags before we've bagged half of your order) you'll save yourselves the anger or annoyance you've been expressing here.
And can I give a big thank you to people who scan (or place on the belt) their groceries in a logical bagging order, I love you all.

Salmonella Scare Hits the Big Time

I just find it interesting because McDonald's cheeseburgers don't typically come with tomato on them, just ketchup, mustard and finely diced onion.

Cook the Book: The Cornbread Gospels

While I don't think I've ever found a cornbread I don't like, what I really miss is my dad's cornbread with cheese and corn kernels that he'd bake on the grill in the backyard on weekends.
