WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH WILL GORDON!!!???

I'm going to make some McNugget Chicken McNoodle soup and bring it to him to feel better soon. Then go all "Mercy" on him and make him write. Me and my ceramic statues can't just entertain ourselves, can we?

Do you corn your own beef?

Do you beef your own corn?

Didn't think so. That's what the deli down the street is for. a nice beefed corn hash.

Bad wine club

Unrelated, but the ABC by my house has a wine fountain machine. I had never seen one of these before but I almost cried.

If you had to eat one nationality...

@MeatGuy, I want my American meat grass-fed. Better head to Colorado.


That being said, hands down, Southern food. It's what I grew up eating, I love seafood, and also it's delicious. And also lard.

Soup De Poisson

les poissons les poissons hee hee HAW HAW HAW

Taste Test: The Best Tortilla Chips

Why has everyone failed to mention the fact that Santita's should win purely on the fact that their packaging says "$2 only"? That's part of the freaking charm, people.

Animal Slaughter...Have you?! Would you?!

@Meat Guy, I agree with you for most of your statements. I think large corporations are often unjustly vilified. A nation of nothing but small-scale farmers (like the one I frequent) is simply not sustainable and would lead to a large majority of our population not being able to afford or obtain meat. While many large corporations (daresay most) do care ultimately about profit, they wouldn't make money if they didn't have a good product. Even the pink sludge processed frozen chicken nuggets taste good, chemical party or not. The trend towards wholesome food and honest farming will drive changes (and already has) in product development. They're not out to pick your pockets and kill piglets just for the hell of it, they're turning out a product (pork, chicken, etc)for consumption. Knowledge is power, but that goes both ways. No need to point fingers. Instead, better yourself so that you have no desire or to blame anyone else but yourself for the choices you make.

Animal Slaughter...Have you?! Would you?!

As a child, we were required to kill a chicken at least once. That has stuck with me for many years. To be honest, I didn't have a problem doing it, and I don't have a problem doing it now. I prefer to break down whole carcasses, or at least large cuts. I have gone hunting from time to time, but like an earlier poster mentioned -- more to be with family than the actual sport. I do not eat alot of meat, but thoroughly enjoy the meat that I do consume.

I couldn't say, kill a giraffe or a baby animal of any sort. Thus I don't eat them! (Even veal). It's a simple as that.

It's all about responsibility. We (the collective members who believe in this mentality) have a responsibility to know where our food comes from, and what we are putting into our bodies. I don't think that it's wrong to want to know where your food comes from, and I don't think it's wrong to not really care. Those who don't have a vested interest may have other parts of their lives they put more emphasis on. That being said, I do think that there is a trend toward food knowledge and honest food.

I buy my meat from a small-scale grass fed beef farmer. It tastes delicious. That being said, I buy my chicken from Publix (along with thier heavenly carrot cake, oh sweet jesus that carrot cake.)

There are a lot of ways to live your life. Some put emphasis on whole healthy living, some put emphasis on making careers and being successful, some put emphasis on family. Not saying any of those are mutually exclusive -- people care about things differently.

I can and will and have killed animals for consumption. I have no guilt about this, but I respect the animals for their contribution to sustaining my life.

Will it melt?

wrap the entire thing in plastic wrap, then several layers of foil, then put in a plastic bag. wrap that in tin foil, wrap a towel around that and put in a bag. Or buy an insulated bag.

Your bestest Quinoa recipe

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/quinoa-and-black-beans/

I make a variation of this all the time. I use the Bob's Red mill Bountiful Black Bean soup mix and i add in carrots and jalapenos. I cook the soup down until it's thick and then cook the rinse quinoa in that. It has the consistency of gruel but it's absolutely delicious. I finish with lime and sometimes crema. But I've also made the recipe per the original instructions and it's great, but def needs more cumin and lime.

I turn my back for five seconds..

My boo and I were making soup using the Bob's Red Mill bean soup mix. I went to take a call and she poured in the entire bag. I only needed 1 cup.

We have a lot of bean soup in our freezer.

Canned Collards?

We used to eat these all the time. They just need a lot of hot sauce and some rice, they'll do you fine as is. They might come out more minerally than normal, though. Fry an egg and put that on top.

Totino's New Chicken Parmesan Rolls Let Me Down

^^^ All about the ranch, sriracha and/or Barbeque sauce.

It's totinos, you can't judge me.

Please Reminisce about Birthday Cake

yellow cake made with duck eggs and store bought chocolate fudge frosting. delish!

Should we just allow some foods to die out?

Foam.

Staff Picks: What's Your Achilles Heel in the Kitchen?

I'm actually okay with eggs. Steaks however. Steaks are hard for me to cook even with a thermometer. They always end up on the raw side of rare or on the leather side of well. And I like neither, dangit!

Sugar Rush: Taiyaki and Ice Cream at Three F(x) Ice Cream & Waffles in Jacksonville, FL

I love that there's an actual review for Jacksonville food!

Great Corporate Food Gift?

I always like getting fruit. But I'm a little lame.

Let's Get Drunk Watching: Super Bowl XLVII

Can I make a request for a Puppy Bowl drinking game as well? I'll be watching both so I need something to fill my drinking time with when the less-furry-than-Ray-Lewis pups are on the screen.

Bacon Fat=Lard?

Next time you feel indulgent, cook a steak in bacon grease. It. Is. So. Good.

Why does my hummus suck?

roasted garlic. so much roasted garlic. and roasted garlic olive oil. Publix's raosted garlic hummus will forever live on in my heart, arteries, and tastebuds.

Sriracha and Pizza! (Okay, so I'm a little slow!)

sriracha and ranch. winner winner.

The Best Frozen Chicken Pot Pies?

@kmayers Banquet turkey/chicken/beef pot pies!! Those are my favorite. God they're bad. Cooked with 5 minute boil-in-bag rice and canned green beans with a sweet & low added on top. Tastes like childhood.

Can You Cook A Steak By Dropping It From Space?

Also can you do a food lab on the perfect Bearnaise? I would cry little angel tears of joy.

Can You Cook A Steak By Dropping It From Space?

The poor steak would be so freezer burned. What if we sous-vided it and then flash froze it in liquid nitrogen, then dropped it. That could help. Now we jsut need a compartment for bearnaise and asparagus. Don't you dare overcook that asparagus, Kenji.

Supermarket Smackdown

As I currently reside in the Southeastern portion of the US of A, I (and many, many others like myself) have an unexplained, irrational and deeply personal love of Publix. I started talking to my partner about how much I wanted one of the "I

Now I've never been to a Safeway. I've been to many a grocery store in my travels, but Publix will always have a place in my heart. The subs, guys. The subs and the sunflower bread and the carrot cake.

Do you have a similar blood oath bond with a regional grocery store? I'd love to know! (And do you get as viciously defensive about yours as I do?

Let's....play a game (hint: it's about beer.)

Obviously we all know that beer and wine goes with food like men with ponytails go with cargo pants. My challenge for you, serious eaters is to take your favorite food + wine pairing and make it a food + beer pairing. Without using microbrews only found in a one block radius for one week every fourth cycle of the moon. National or fairly largely available beers, please - So that we may all explore our feelings and tastebuds and get drunk together.

Go!

(I'm still thinking of mine.)


P.S.: You look pretty, want to be my valentine? I'll let you cook me dinner and we can watch Futurama together on Netflix while I talk about my issues with my mother and complain about my split ends.
