The Worst Thing I Ever Found in My Food

Ordered a Coke float from McDonald's from the drive-thru. It had the oily, crusty part of the machine that makes the soft serve star-shaped in it. I think they were happy to have the part back.
My best friend's lovely old grandma told a server at a restaurant that she found a tooth in her dish. Too bad it was Granny's own tooth.
I have also found a pube in pasta, a rubber band in tuna salad & ants swarming the inside of a takeout soda.

Los Angeles: Malo's Beef and Pickle Tacos Dorados

These are sooo good. Definitely remind me of a cheeseburger. They also serve them at Mas Malo downtown LA and they have plenty of offerings for vegetarians. My tummy is grumbling now....mmm.

In the Serious Eats-Gilt Taste Holiday Shop: Govino Glasses

Ooh, I love these Govino glasses. I bought a set in Napa, and used them all summer for picnicking. I might have to pick up some of these for gifts, since everyone loved them.

DIY vs. Buy: Should I Make My Own Limoncello?

We made this last year and my boyfriend's mom got cheap bottles and painted pretty lemons and leaves on them for us. So easy to make and it was a huge hit! Everyone wanted more. Will definitely be doing it again.

Sauced: Romesco Sauce

I love Romesco sauce! It pairs well with many things. I have a big bag of dried ancho chilies on hand to use in this for my recipe. You just have to soak the chilies in hot water to reconstitute, seed them and throw them in the food processor. Works with both almonds and hazelnuts.

Infused Tequila too spicy... help needed!

Great suggestions! Thanks everyone. We're definitely going to try marinating some chicken & cooking with it. We'll also keep diluting to tame the spice. Bring on summer & some margaritas!

Infused Tequila too spicy... help needed!

Yeah, it's still too spicy. We made a margarita with it last night. I can drink a sip or two but then it was too much.
I've had some spicy cocktails that I've loved but this is hot! I'll try to keep adding more tequila and see if it helps. Thanks!

Stories of Astonishing Food Ignorance

My best friend (very smart, very successful) didn't know raisins were dried grapes.

An old temporary roommate used to fry up a frozen Costco hamburger, slather it in ketchup, wrap it in a tortilla & call it an enchilada. Only she called it an "ON-chilada". *Sigh*

Compost Cookies. Have a question....

I agree, it's better to freeze already combined & scooped out onto a cookie sheet. My recipe said to do that. They chilled in the freezer for about 2 hrs & they still spread a ton! Maybe a longer freeze will help. They were delicious though!
