Blogwatch: Cranberry Curd Pavlova
This picture actually makes me think it is something you may want to serve at Halloween. It wouldn't be difficult to make it look even more like a giant eyeball (not that actual eyeballs are filled with something red, but still) or an organ repository. Bizarre.
Interview with a Grocery Store Shoplifter
"...It’s a job like any other job; it requires professionalism, requires effort, requires time. It’s not an easy thing. And there's a certain amount of risk, like any venture that you get into, any business you get into."
The same could be said of committing any crime for which you do not want to be caught. It hardly amounts to moral justification, as this guy seems to think.
I didn't find it fascinating; I just found it appalling.

I like that he's always wearing a microphone despite the fact that his commercials are obviously filmed in studios.

If the commercial is on, I'll watch it. He throws the sell out there with his own unique style. He's not a monotone robot. There's "Vince" in his presentation. Plain and simple ........... I like him. Vince is cool.

Holy Crap! And people ask why I fast forward through so many commercials! Thank Vince "The Wonder Douche" for making my point for me!!!
Highlights? Hmmm...the "boring tuna". Poor tuna! Does he not know that it's the chicken of the sea?! I mean come I
Next, for those of you who not only like hard-boiled eggs for breakfast, but consider it more convenient to eat it along with other ingredients from a ziploc bag...this is your lucky day!
And can someone please tell me what FRET-tuccine is?
But, far and away the best one was, "you're gonna love my nuts"...uh, nope don't think so, Vince! The only useful thing I could think of doing with this product was setting up Vince, his nuts, the Slap Chop and Lorena Bobbit. Now that would be something I'd spend $25 bucks on!

Where's the picture gotta eat it with my eyes til I can make some . Food pic's are my pin-ups
Super Bowl Snacks: Hot Bacon-Blue Cheese Dip
I'm salivating. the beer and worcestershire sauce really put it over the top for me. sounds fabulous.
Super Bowl Snacks: Hot Bacon-Blue Cheese Dip
Humblest apologies, serious eaters. I just edited the post and put in all the missing steps. Enjoy. It's a great recipe.
Super Bowl Snacks: Hot Bacon-Blue Cheese Dip
I could probably figure out the missing steps in the recipe as I'd like to make this ... but if you could, please edit the post! :)
Super Bowl Snacks: Hot Bacon-Blue Cheese Dip
I'm gonna guess that when the onion is soft, you add the flour and cook the roux, then add the milk. Bring to a boil...

I think the opening looks like a heart, especially if you tilt your head. But then again, I was publicly educated on one of the coasts, so what do I know.
But I do know curd and that's it's yummy!

SE, thanks! You have now completed my goal of taking my kids on a culinary adventure that matches my traveling husband's itinerary. Michele Humes posted a dumpling recipe that meets the need for something from China, and she also has posted recipes from the Vietamese Kitchen which takes care of Vietnam. And now here you go with pavlova--which takes care of a traditial Aussie dessert. You guys rock!

What a cute idea! And wow, so many curds to try, so little time.

Chew on That

Looks fantastic, and I now know what else I am making for my V-day dessert! I even have cranberries left from my annual stock-up in December. This will be a great light option and a fun twist on the pavlovas I love.
Thanks!

How pretty! I just got a basketful of passion fruits that will make a lovely curd for this. And Max, you're right, you could tweak this for Halloween very easily.
@jscarey, why the condescending attitude? It adds nothing to the discussion, except to make you sound like a tool.

* "heart" not "heard." I want an edit button!
Blogwatch: Cranberry Curd Pavlova
wow..."publicly educated near one of the coasts." harsh.
and i doubt she was referencing the anatomical shape of the heard, but rather of the shape that 99% of people picture in their minds when someone says "shape of a heart."
And if you want to get technical, it resembles both continents, though neither particularly well.

Uh, yeah, it's without a question South America.

Adam, I don't know if it's just my computer, but clicking on that link gives a 404 message.
Interview with a Grocery Store Shoplifter
My first reaction was identical to carriebwc's (seriously, total it up, next time you shop there), my second one, "THAT's interesting... next time I'm shopping at Whole Foods I'm going to be watching the other shoppers veeeeery sharply...".
And I bet many of you will be, too, which will hardly make shoplifters' efforts any easier.
I honestly don't think posting this was a poor choice, it was good one. Besides, if we're going to be purely objective about things, this IS interesting (and I have difficulty believing that some of the indignant respondents don't watch some of the programmes on TV that present all sorts of real-life unpleasantness, including things far more horrific than this), and, even if this does prompt a few others to attempt to shoplift (which to me sounds a bit questionable; most people are not so malleable that a single post can prompt them to be thieves, without any previous thoughts of it), there are also going to be a lot more of us out there... watching.

I don't want to see SE practicing self-censorship. I think we've all experienced enough of that nonsence during recent history. Yes, the guy is a jerk, without a doubt. So now we've seen that there are in fact, people like this. Who knows, he may be a former Enron exec ,the mind set would be right...
Interview with a Grocery Store Shoplifter
My favorite part of the article is this:
Do you remember the first thing you shoplifted?:
Of course, it was a sausage. It was a really expensive sausage that I put under my pants.
(We love you, Adam Kuban. Don't let the man get you down.)
Interview with a Grocery Store Shoplifter
I've actually always wondered about the mindset of shoplifters, so I found the story pretty interesting. I really don't see it as an endorsement of shoplifting - it's just addressing what's out there.
Interview with a Grocery Store Shoplifter
There is no promotion of shoplifting in the article. I found it interesting and appropiate for serious eats. I doubt there are many of you out there who have never shoplifted, so relax.
Interview with a Grocery Store Shoplifter
This is a perfectly interesting, perfectly appropriate article.
Interview with a Grocery Store Shoplifter
"Life is short, but it is wide".....a quote from one of my favorite authors. I take that to mean that there are lots of perspectives that I don't understand but that doesn't mean that they don't exist. I think this story is meant to be tongue in cheek but I also know that there are those who may really feel that they have to do this type of thing to survive. It's about food , so is this website. Continue, Mr. Kuban.......
