Bacon Bra

As a guy who likes both bacon and boobs, this seems a little "ew" to me. The bacon is raw, after all, which screams 'bacteria' and 'food poisoning'. Not what I want associated with food or boobs at all.

Essentials: Big Chocolate Cake

I made this cake tonight. I halved it and put it in two round cake pans. Now I regret halving it. :-)

It's very good! The frosting works especially well with it. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Raw milk? Health benefits? What health benefits could raw milk possibly have?

Better tasting, I'll grant you. I've never personally had it, but I've heard it tastes much better. But health benefits I don't believe. I'll trust quackwatch:

With a producer I trusted, and did proper monitoring, I might go the raw milk route. But for the taste, not magical health benefits.

I think Sabrina needs to get her panties out of the wad they're in. I'm a female, a 'chick' if you will, and I love the picture and get the humor. I also enjoy the site for the eats but come on, funny is funny. Too much seriousness will cause your head to explode Sabrina.

Oh, please, y'all... it's just plain silly and hilarious.

I'm as ardent a feminist as you'll find on the planet, and I TOTALLY embrace my love of bacon, bawdiness and "bwah-hah-hah" (which are pretty much the three things this photo celebrates).

A lovely picture. Can a picture be a double entendre???

I want to buy raw heavy cream for making French style cultured butter at home. You can cheat by adding crème fraîche to your regular store bought heavy cream and letting it sit overnight at room temp to get the bacteria going, but it's not the same.

Since the main point of eating mozzarella is taste (and texture), I suppose one can see the argument for using raw milk.

The issue I've always heard cited with regard to the raw vs. pasteurised milk issue was not one of nutritional value, but of digestibilty. I'm not much of a fan of milk, and do find it difficult to digest, so I've never bothered to look into it scientifically, although I've had several acquaintances assure me that, from their personal experiences, this is in fact the case.

Pity about the brucellosis... in the long run, I don't know that the safety of pasteurised milk would make much difference in this case, since the animals producing it have to be destroyed anyway, making the point a moot one.
