What nut is next?

Glad that cashews aren't nuts, and this should make kathyvegas not just knowledgeable but also more comfortable with the idea that they aren't hazardous... yet.

Dinner Tonight: The Aussie Burger

Back in 1990 while touring through Australia somewhere between Brisbane and Noosa Heads, our tourbus stopped off at a little mum 'n pop rest stop/short-order eatery, and I had a huge-ass version of the Aussie Burger called "The Big Mother". It had a very very thick beef patty, large buns, two runny-yolked fried eggs, craploads of cheese, big slices of beets (which seemed strange to my American tastebuds), and "salad", which in Australian means "put lettuce and a slice of tomato on it". I don't recall if there was avocado on it, but that thing satisfied.

Real name withheld as per arrangements set up by my lawyer.

Occupation: underpaid, underappreciated technical illustrator, publisher, web designer
Location: San Jose
Employment history: lengthy, nowhere does it include the title of "head chef"
Educational history: high school, college, life
Cooking philosophy: drench it in alcohol, set it on fire, serve
Interesting tidbit: in 1980 or 1981 my mother turned down the opportunity to have her own cooking show on PBS; now that she's gone it has been my duty to keep the "stunt cookery" going strong.

Someone in Mountain View, California, Is Missing a Burrito

Actually, La Costeña market on Rengstorff and Old Middlefield Road in Mountain View makes a two-tortilla burrito the size of an infant. Anyone who has eaten one before will tell you. BTW their carnitas kicks ass!
