'The Economist' Sends a Package Full of Pasties (Not Pastries)
Cornish pasties are amazingly good both hot and cold. They're great picnic fare.

Evan Williams has been my drink of choice for 30 years. It's smooth, balanced, and rich. Next to it Jack Daniels is harsh, pointed, and simple.

Snapshots from Asia: Phallic Sea Cucumbers
If my phallus ever looks like that I'm cutting it off myself. That's not a healthy look.

And I've heard them pronounced as "Pas-tee(s)"

I have been researching the best way to get super squishy buns, and apparently its something impossible to do without the use of improvers and emulsifiers. Also another important step is the use of sponge and dough technique. However without the use of good proofers and baking ovens the result would still not be optimal. I wonder what is the best source for improvers specifically formulated for hamburger buns ?

Or try King Arthur, always pushing their New England hot dog bun pan in the catalog and says it comes with a recipe. Their doughnut pan comes with a few good recipes and the recipe pamphlets they sell have some good recipes as well.

Cookware Advice
Cast iron are too heavy for the common home user. It takes longer to heat, it's difficult to maneuver, their is a danger of rust etc. I can recommend the German brand Woll Cookware. Since I bought one in Germany 2 years ago, I was very happy with my titanium coated frying pan that performs with first rate cooking results, and it's also PFOA free. I can say that this is one of the best frying pans available. Heavy duty titanium based coating, practically can be used without oil, easy handling and cleaning. I couldn't find them in the US, maybe someone knows were they can be found? more information can be found at http://www.woll-cookware.com/mediathek/defaultScripts/PHP/index.php?lang=4&sn=noNav&sel=1&c=/export/English/doc/90.html or http://www.woll-cookware.co.il

Tito's Handmade Vodka From Texas. It is a great straight drinking vodka. And you can buy it for about five to ten dollars a handle cheaper that your belevedere, grey goose etc...

Monopolova potato vodka from Austria is actually pretty excellent, and made from the original ingredient - as opposed to say grain - ugh. Freeze it and it's silky, syrupy and a lovely mixer with fresh squeezed juices especially. And at about $10 the bottle at Trader Joe's or even places like Food for Less or Rite Aid - shop around - it's an absolute steal. LOL.

I have been a long time fan of Jim Beam, or Beams Eight Star...good bourbon whiskey...
Beams Eight Star is even less than Jim Beam in price.
Not all whiskeys are bourbon, for example: Jack Daniel's and George Dickel are sour mash whiskeys.
Usually Jim Beam and Beams Eight Star are kept at 'the well' and are considered low price well-brands...
This makes for cheaper drinks.
Straight or with an ice cube or two, no more, please!
When I like to go 'high class' I love Knob Creek, which by the way is also made by the Jim Beam Distillery.

I'm a pretty big bourbon enthusiast and I've not had any Evan since college. I have a few brands that I like, but one less-expensive one in particular is Bulleit. It's not much more than Evan (or his cousin Dickle), and tastes a lot better than Evan did. On the higher end, Blanton's is worth it no matter the price.
A great up-and-coming Rye (or rather one that is making a return) is Sazerac. It's comparably priced with Bulleit and makes a great mint julep! The last time I checked, I saw them both for under $20 and sometimes they show up for less than $15.

Rebel Yell is a great $12 bottle of bourban.
