An Epic Quest For Pizza Immortality: Eating Nothing But Sausage Pizza for a Month
Well, and I hope this is not TMI but after just a few days of eating nothing but pizza (and other cheese/meat/carb-based foods) and being in great pain - I hope for the sake of his own poo that he does not strictly stick to this... or that he drinks a shit-ton of coffee...

Why I Hate 'Hell's Kitchen'
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for so clearly articulating these thoughts; so far I've only been able to throw up my hands in digust and go "UUUUUUUUGH"
Olympic Figure Skater Brian Boitano in a New Food Network Series
"What would Brian Boitano do if he were here right now?
I'm sure he'd kick an ass or two, that's what Brian Boitano'd do."
Matt & Trey are awesome; this show - not so much.
French in a Flash: Trout en Papillotte
Well, I'm not ashamed to admit I teared up... but I have a soft place in my heart for stories of loved ones/animals, especially stories of those who are both.
These are becoming some of my favorite columns, simply because of the heartfelt (and as was said above, eloquent) stories that are just the best kind of bonus. Pretty sure I haven't mentioned it before, so just wanted to say something. :) Thanks.
Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'
Am I the only person who feels like they don't fall exclusively into the baker or cook categories? I mean, I bake AND I cook, and I do BOTH with varying levels of success. Don't feel like I'm better at one.. and they have very different measures of accomplishment, IMHO.
Anyway - been baking some blondie bars lately that come out very well for the ease of effort. Something magical happens when you melt a stick of butter and stir brown sugar into it. Something magical indeed.

1) Why did I just watch the whole thing?
2) Like how the girls' dresses remind me of a slutted-up disney snow white.
3) How sad would it be to have this as your one 15 minutes of fame? It's almost as bad as "Lets Go To The Mall" on HIMYM.

Thanksgiving wouldn't feel right without a chunky, moist dressing (or stuffing, though I'm taking Alton's advice to heart and keeping it out of my turkey this year). But I've also a particular fondness for all the orange Thanksgiving sides -- caramelized yam, pumpkin purees, fleshy marrows. Those Squash Half Moons with Butter, Sesame, and Salt sound like heaven.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Cornbread dressing!

Favorite foods: All those carby, cheesy, meaty things that keep me from being a skinny minnie (don't get me wrong, I'm not a fatty. I eat whatever the hell I want and work out twice as hard - wouldn't have it any other way).
Last bite on earth: Beef Tataki, Tropical Maki, and Kimchee soup from my favorite local sushi bar - Hanaroo... eaten on a gorgeous beach somewhere.
