Cocktails and Spirits with Paul Clarke: Trends to Watch for in 2010
I only like one thing about the speakeasy trend: classic, quality cocktails that many bartenders in don't have the time, ingredients, or knowledge to make, like Sidecars, Dark and Stormy, Hot Toddies, or even a good Manhattan.
Worst foodie gift ever?
One of those "Newly Weds' First Cookbook"s. Not exactly the type of cookbook I would want or need, and about 15 years too late to be my first cookbook. Honestly, these things are such scams. Still, it was a nice thought.
Do You Ever Eat Raw Eggs?
My grandparents used to eat raw eggs and raw meat frequently, until they got salmonella from doing so. I rarely even eat raw cookie dough, but I always use cage free eggs, which at least guarantees that the hens are able to walk around. If I could get my eggs from a small family farm, the way my parents do, I would't worry about salmonella at all.
-@lemonfair, I always wondered how likely it is you that would get a bad egg in that situation. However, it certainly makes shell removal easier, so I keep on cracking eggs in a separate bowl.

I just got an immersion blender and I am wondering how I lived without it. It makes pureeing things so easy!
