Taste Test: Microwavable Popcorn

I don't have a microwave so I pop corn in a wok on the stove with ghee. It's just as fast and there's usually no unpopped kernels. The only disadvantages are if you don't have a big bowl, pouring it into a small bowl is tricky and you have to wash the wok. Small trade for waaaaay cheaper popcorn. I don't know if it's healthier though.

In Defense of Chef Chris Cosentino's Foie Gras

Shouldn't we be encouraging the use of all parts of the animals we slaughter and eat (and savor)? Although I won't eat liver, I know I should because only eating the flesh or choicest parts of animals is a serious luxury which I should appreciate.

Likewise, being able to choose not to eat this or that (like not eating meat at all) is a privilege that is severely under appreciated. But that's another topic.

Foods We Loved as Kids, Maybe Not as Adults

Those cheap cookies shaped like flowers with a hole in the middle and Hawaiian Punch. This was our snack in nursery school circa 1980.

Totally agree about Luck Charms. Fruity Pebbles too.

What is better than I remembered is bologna. Ate it everyday for years then not for a long time...and went back to it...still good! (BTW, this is deli bologna, not Oscar Mayer.)

Risqué Orangina Ads Stir Controversy

Isn't that Spanish (Castellano) on the "vintage French one?

I think that the it's funny that a leaf over a bear's crotch is more provocative than bare one!
