Reminds me slightly of the movie Idiocracy and Brawndo, the taste plants crave!

The Fleur de Sel Caramel ice cream, not Fleur de Del, don't hit random keys when sending, lesson learned.

The Fleur de Del caramel ice cream is so crazy delish that I can't imagine eating any other ice cream any more. I stared at the pomegranate chip and thought, ah, another time. Salted caramel? Little puffs of chocolate with caramel inside? It is fabulous! Oh and it's lunch time, perhaps I can sneek a spoon full in right now..... The Toasted Coconut Brittle with Sesame is great too, I am not sure how long that has been around, at least a couple of months. There is no topping the Fleur de Sel Caramel though. The one negative thing I can say (I am eating a bite right now - jealous?) is that it has 3 different levels of corn syrup in it and I am making an effort to rid my life of corn syrup. Exceptions will be made with this ice cream, I am only so strong! All the other pints in my freezer will have to deal with ice crystals from neglect. Put the spoon down and walk away!

Mario Unclogged: How to Sauce Pasta

Was Mario wearing a pink shirt? He is breaking all red head style boundaries now and branching out into new territory (written by a red head). On the sauce: I am a sauce freak. I eat the pasta as an excuse to eat sauce. Maybe not with a carbonara, but with tomato sauces - give me my saucy sauce! Pasta fills you up and since I am gluten intolerance, I don't get nearly as many pasta choices anymore as used to and they are not as good, perhaps why I focus on the sauce.

I'm getting my turkey from _____________

I will be getting my turkeys from my brother who raises heritage turkeys in Northern Michigan (as well as pheasant and heritage chickens). I plan to grill one over a charcoal fire and the other will be on the rotisserie on the gas grill. We will brine one of the two. If these turkeys (it's his first year raising them) taste anything like his free range organic chickens, we will be in turkey bliss.

Mario Unclogged: The Hams of Italy

Does anyone have any directions for making one's own prosciutto leg? I am in a pork share of sorts and we will be butchering soon in NW MI. We have an entire free range organic pig to experiment with. Thanks for any tips!

Hilarious. They have really got it down, right to the faux hawk and Padma's nonchalance at giving the chefs a seemingly impossible task. Fun.

@ Loco... Snl has always used a script. Whether or not they always followed it, SNL has never been purely improvisational, even in the first five years.

Thanks for posting this! I was searching for this video everywhere but thought it was taken down. Love the Marshmallow Peep foam line too!

Apparently, Christopher Walken is interested in food, as evidenced by this post and video on SE.

What I'd love to get my hands on are the old Dan Aykroyd parodies of Julia Child... now THAT was THE classic SNL-take on food-related TV!

If the Vanilla Honey Bee flavor is part of the prize I simply must be a winner. Melissa, my name, is Greek for Honey Bee, so I feel a deep connection to the poor honey bees suffering from Colony Collapse Disorder. I am willing to do my part in finding a cure for this tragic problem, even if that means I must eat ice cream...
