I have a hankering for pacharan and I need to get ahold of some frozen sloeberries to make my own. I could have a bottle of Zoco, my favorite brand, sent over from Spain, but I'd also like to try making it myself for once.
Does anyone know where they sell them?
I broke down and had the chocolate-banana thingy with an espresso shot this morning. After filling up the cup, half of it remained in the blender. So much for my caffeine. I'd have to rate it slightly better than chocolate milk, and certainly as something that I could make better at home. For $4.50, I'll pass.
Herrell is still making a living off of Steve's Ice Cream, THE place to go in the mid 70's. Reading the post, it's obvious that they visited many locations throughout New England, but I can't see them making a pronouncement of The Best based on their tasting methods. It would take a general referendum, and there'd still be doubts as to who's ice cream is best. Like Richardson's.
Grrr. By far one of my favorite blogs. I guess that one day we'll look back and remember teh internets when it was interestingly unsanitized.
Definitely a step in the right direction, and yes, it appears that there'll be an outright ban on the manufacture of ultra thin plastic bags. Such was the impact of the yet-to-be implemented ban that the largest plastic bag manufacturer has closed its doors and is selling off all of its equipment. That being said, 10,000 people are out of work.
Yeah, lobbyists.
Let us hope that sometime in the future, archaeologists will not find all of this crap in one place and label our civilization as the Dean People.
I think she'll do well for herself if TFN continues with the "bewbies you love to hate" formula.
Please tell me that the NYT didn't get their info from this blog and a phone call to Santi Santamaria, a man who denounces snobbery yet charges $375pp for a tasting menu in his kitchen. Hutzpah, I say, on both accounts.
The backstory reads like a run of the mill pissing contest between two chefs whose food most of the world, including myself, will never taste. Maybe the hue and cry will go up once McD's comes out with a foam-based McRib, but until then I'll keep both feet on the ground.
Great post. I'll add social unconsciousness to the list of things that make me dislike her so much.
Can a site aiming to cover an entire niche market come from one corporation's mouthpiece?
A site, Brew Blog, aiming to cover an entire niche market, is sponsored by the Miller Brewing Co. I hope that answers your question.
Any use of a blog as a marketing tool is not only sleazy, it is stupid and transparent and the minute the masses get a whiff of it, it loses all credibility.
Both masthead and metadata clearly proclaim the blog to be a product of the Miller Brewing Co. If anyone of the masses had read the article, they would've noticed it revealed not only the ownership of the blog, but also its intent: to further message control in the age-old war between cheap beer manufacturers. Also, as a small note, the Brew Blog is trade publication, with little of interest to people outside of the specific industry. It is not seeking an honest assessment of its product or service, and the fact that they're using a widely adopted concept (the blog) to needle their competition and put anachronistic newsletters out of business is what makes it blogging great.
People, this situation can be easily diffused by blaming an intern: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/
That being said, does anyone actually have a "family recipe" any more? Aside from tuna casserole.
I had the Orange Mango Vivanno today with soy and 2 shots of espresso. It tasted, not like a milkshake, nor a smoothie.
I will probably do it again sometime, but I'm not salivating.
In Los Angeles, some stores are also selling "Sorbettos", which are smoothies made with Pinkberry yogurt or ice. I did try the mango sorbetto (with yogurt), and it was pretty yummy, creamy, tart, and fruity. But it did feel a bit weird not ordering a coffee or frapp.
I signed up just to comment on here myself. I don't know what in the world these judges are thinking. I have a hard time watching her on this show let alone tune into a weekly show with someone like her. We don't need another Martha Stewart. Someone on the panel needs to get a clue what people will watch and I can't imagine it will be her unless that is what they are hoping. They want a winner that will have such poor ratings they can cancel them after only a few shows.
I signed up just to comment here! I watch this show with my husband and though I complain about Lisa every week, I feel I need another area to whine about why she is STILL there. Does anybody else agree that she:
1. Often looks like she is about to completely LOSE it? She's often crying and almost always has a tense and disagreeable look on her face. I can't image her softening up on any show.
2. Has an obnoxious "culinary point of view"? "Beautiful basics"? PLEASE.
3. Seems like she will be a complete diva?
She might have cooked up some great tasting food, but she's consistently had a poor camera performance. What else is more important on a TV show? I am so frustrated she's still there! (My life is otherwise very simple and that is why I choose to obsess over insignificant things like this. :)
I finally figured it out....Star Trek Romulan hair do. Mormon cult dressmaker. Even if she can cook & talk on camera at the same time the rest of the package is just too darn distracting, PERFECT for Food Network!
I had a coupon for a free Vivanno/whatever. Tried the orange mango. Didn't like it. Too thick and milky.
Never tried a Jamba Juice smoothie but then I'm not a smoothie kind of person.
Think I'll just stick with my tall coffee with a little half and half.
It's the whey protein powder that is the flavor/texture/fake chocolate flavor you dislike so much. It is definitely an acquired taste. As someone who weight trains and regularly has protein shakes, I wonder if it would taste better to me. I add protein at Jamba Juice also.
My mom had one when we were at Starbucks the other day (I was just getting iced coffee), and she tried a sample and really liked it (she's difficult to please too). I didn't try it because I assumed it was just another sugary smoothie. Now that I know what it is, I think I'd actually like to try one.
Did anybody else notice that Tubby's has an almost identical flavor "yellow butter brickle road" to this new Ben & Jerry's "goodbye yellow brickle road" flavor?
I second Deb07 ~ You didn't go to Big Daddy's?????
SOOO sad to hear he is done
I really enjoyed his show
