What do you eat for all-nighters?

Depends on the season for me. In the winter I eat a bunch of clementines 'cause they're easy to peel and it's a fruit, yayy so I won't feel as guilty if I had munched on chips. And during the summer....a nice bowl of cereal with cold milk so that I know I'll be fortified for the next day x]

I know how you feel...the economy really sucks. I graduated a semester early instead of graduating in the coming May, but now I wish I hadn't because I haven't been able to obtain a full-time job. Thankfully, I've been accepted by grad schools so I am looking forward to working on a master's degree (that will benefit me, of course). With the spare time I have currently, I am volunteering and taking up activities which I won't be able to do once I get a "real" job...Anyway, good luck! And keep up with your blog, I enjoy reading it! :)

It's like the ancient Twinkie I remember my high school history teacher kept in his drawer, bright and yellow.

You should mention who the pastry chefs are at these places - they don't get the recognition they deserve.

I second Tabla--the chocolate dipping sauce there is incredible.

flex mussels has some pretty great ones too... plus you can choose from several flavors.

What about the Donut Trio from Tabla? They look very much like those from Aldea with similar sauces (Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate, and another I cannot remember). I wish I could attach a picture to my posts...!

And Cookshop donuts are sublime as well. Often made with Dipalo ricotta.

Don't forget Babbo. Sometimes we have to order a second batch they're so good.

I have a vegetable collection that is older. They used to have these things called jars and you could put things in them and it would make them last for a long time. If only we could recreate this somehow without the jars. That would be amazing.

First ...I really enjoy your blog!
A really, really, really long time ago as a new graduate, I landed a job that I loved. I waited for five years before I went to graduate school in a field that is different from, yet similar to, what I was doing. By doing that, many more doors were opened to me. I am so glad that I took the time away from being a student to mature. I made better decisions for myself.
By the way, until I finished grad school, I always worked a second job as a food server!

This is quite amusing because I did the same exact thing but with a McDonald's fry. I have had it in my car's ashtray for almost a year. It has not rotted one bit. It still has it's color. Kind of scary if you think about it.

There is not one item that you can purchase at McDonald’s that is good for you. Even their “fresh fruits and vegetables” are so overly treated with preservatives and pesticides, your body has to work twice as hard to eliminate those toxins than it could ever benefit from any vitamins or minerals still contained in the dilapidated whole food. Shall we talk about where they buy their meats and poultry from? Antibiotics, steroids… the list goes on. A McDonald’s body will turn into a diseased body.

Well for a food to mold, there are several factors tat need to be met, including acidity, fat content, temperature, moisture content, etc...

Generally, foods with very high fat contents will not mold (such as a mcdonalds burger patty). A normal slice of bread will get quite moldy, but dip it in oil, and it will essentially stay looking fresh forever in a relatively controlled environment.

Just a side note - unless you are eating unprocessed, whole foods - you are eating the same crap that is in mcdonalds. The entire food industry is (like any other industry) concerned primarily with profits, not with peoples health or safety in mind. I am all about the free market, but when it comes to the things we put into our bodies, profit shouldn't trump everything else.

I remember something like this on a current affairs program here in New Zealand some time ago - kinda put me off McD's burgers...

Forget about the burgers. Get a MickyD shake, leave it at room temp and see what doesn't happen. A real milk shake will consolidate back to liquid as it warms...Not Ronalds ...Chemicalada is what I like to call 'em.

Mac burgers are just the thing for an upset stomach or a bacterial infection.

@jessie I was just thinking that myself. I looked at the picture and thought okay the one on the left is the newer one, then I read the article and found out the one on the right was the new one.

@Sugar: I know what you mean about the Wonder Bread; I noticed it stays relatively fresh out of the fridge as long as it's not too warm in the kitchen pantry, otherwise mold can happen in @3 days' time. This is purely from personal experience. Maybe the reason they call it Wonder Bread is: "Wonder" how many more chemicals they can put into this bread and make it stay fresh forever?

Neither looks like the McDonald's burgers I've seen. These are both made for studio appearances and not for the consumer. But that’s OK with me, I would only eat at McDonald’s if it was the only thing open and I was starving.

It's called Dessication (drying).

It's one of the primary ways we stored food (along with smoking and curing) before we had refrigeration. Remove the moisture and there is no medium for organic growth.

So, take off the foil hats and take your meds...and enjoy a burger.

Are you guys serious, I am in pest control and some of those ingredients I spray spiders and termites with, there were a few listed that are banned in Australia and now I am cured of eating McDonalds.

It is called steroids.... they pump the animals full of the stuff,, no wonder it stays forever,, that is what you are feeding your kids,, when I told my kids that they are filled with steroids, they don't want to eat them anymore,,
but of course the grocery stores are the same, all meat now adays are injected with the stuff,, what are you going to do??/
