Woman Finds Cell Phone in Bag of Potato Chips
What did she expect? She bought the chips at Aldi's. That's like going to Amsterdam and being shocked to find hookers and pot.
Mixed Review: Brownies Made from Fat Witch Bakery's Snow Witch Mix
Is this post about you or the brownies? "When I worked in the area" sounds more humble than "when I was freelancing at the Food Network" and "She's got a book coming out" sounds a lot less egotistical than "I happen to know she has a book coming out because we share the same agent."
Sheesh.

What did brevity ever do to him? After three minutes I gave up. The only way I'd sit through something that rambling was if it was from a relative and even that's pushing it.

Beg to differ. I thought these things were chalky and foul. This is what depression tastes like.

'Food Jobs,' A Career Guide for Food Lovers
I've read this and I'm not impressed. While she does come up with an impressive and esoteric list, there's practically zero information on the two most important aspects: how you can actually get one of these jobs and how much they pay. Personally, I found it a little lazy in that regard. Your mileage may vary.
Cook the Book: 'Summer on a Plate'
This is going to sound lame, really lame, but my mentor would have to be my best friend Rick. After a childhood spent devouring bland food that had neither salt nor pepper applied to it, let alone any spices, we felt like we were moving from black and white to color when we emptied the contents of our spice cabinet into a batch of ground meat for hamburgers about fifteen years ago. That was my culinary awakening.

"Konichiwa what's up guys s'Joe."
The first sentence of the video--no, the first WORD of the video--tells you everything you need to know about the reviewer. Nothing to see here.

i felt the same way about blue hill at stone barns. the foods were simple and good, but not insanely delicious. also, after having the three hour marathon of a meal, which i enjoyed, i dont feel like i ever need to go back. (neither does my wallet.)

It's a prize -- you know, like in kids' cereal and Cracker Jacks. What's the problem?
Mixed Review: Brownies Made from Fat Witch Bakery's Snow Witch Mix
Am I the only one that is never impressed by a Fat Witch brownie? They always seems stale to me.

The mix does sound expensive, but I bet it's much cheaper than buying a bunch of brownies from Fat Witch.

I'm not sure why you're feeling so nitpicky, atom 12, because the post was fantastic and the author definitely didn't seem to be flaunting herself to me. Plus, it probably isn't very widely known yet that she has a book coming out so she was simply attempting to validate the fact and how she knew, since when I googled "fat witch cookbook" or "patricia helding cookbook" nothing came up.
Also-- These look fab. Next time I'm in the area I'll have to get one!

Aha -- Katje's makes them, and in German they're called Fred Ferkel. Saw them at Cost Plus again this weekend.

What we call "Pork Chop Glop." Brown chops on both sides, cover with canned chicken gumbo soup, cover, simmer 30 minutes. (Reduce the "sauce" if desired.) Serve sauce (or "glop") over rice. How easy is that?
