Making Sriracha Chile Sauce from Scratch

I'm sad that Sriracha is so pervasive. It's like the Tabasco of SE Asia (but here, not there). Personally I prefer Cholula over Tabasco, and ABC brand Sambal Lampung from Indonesia (Google it, Amazon.com carries it...) over Huy Fong Sriracha. It is a bit less garlicky, but has a great smokey undertone, and is quite a bit spicier...

Vintage Candy Monday: Big Cherry

Mmmmaraschino cherries. There are few cherry related food, or food-like-substances that I don't enjoy, and to this day I hope someone at the table is one of the Maraschino Cherry haters like the above, so I can snag theirs and have an extra one...

Four Ways to Interpret Breakfast

Although I'm American, I truly enjoy a French breakfast the most, and luckily that can be found in much of the world. I like trying new and different things, and traveling the world over, but sometimes before I really wake up, it's nice to have a comforting croissant, egg (preferably boiled), cheese (preferably goat), and coffee breakfast.

Babycinos, a Drink for Babies

Sounds redonkulous. First off, my toddler (all of 20 months) loves coffee and would be upset that there is no coffee in her coffee. On top of that, Rhode Islanders have been enjoying coffee milk for years, so at a minimum the steamed chocolate milk should be replaced with coffee milk...

Pro-HFCS Ads: Do They Bother You?

What does health have to do with it. The important facts are:

1. Due to subsidies, HFCS becomes cheaper than Cane Sugar. So we're paying money in taxes to make our sugar more expensive than it should be in order to make HFCS producers richer. That is weak...

2. ...especially since HFCS tastes like crap compared to cane sugar. Even if they are the same health wise, be it good or bad, cane sugar just tastes better.

What Makes a Good Barista?

How can you start off so poorly with "A good barista knows their customers drinks when they walk through the door.". As if you order the same thing every time you go anywhere. Nothing drives me crazy like the coffee shop girl or dude thinking they are helping me by memorizing what I got the last few times. Take that extra effort and produce a drinkable cup of coffee, please.

And, I believe it is true that in the past Americans were below par when it came to coffee knowledge, they have come a far. And I think that most Americans now are as educated as anyone else on the globe when it comes to the European Coffee experience that Startbucks etc. attempts to emulate, and yes that includes Europeans.

Vegan Author Rynn Berry Claims Historians Have a 'Carnivorous Bias'

According to AWF.org: "Baboons are opportunistic omnivores and selective feeders. Grass makes up a large part of their diet, along with berries, seeds, pods, blossoms, leaves, roots, bark and sap from a variety of plants. Baboons also eat insects and small quantities of meat, such as fish, shellfish, hares, birds, vervet monkeys, and small antelopes."

I think we can all agree that we don't want to eat grass or insects and most will agree we don't want to eat monkies, so if you substitute Cows, Chickens, and Sheep for those...

Cook the Book: 'The Shun Lee Cookbook'

@Teahlo that sounds a whole lot like the Moroccan dish "Lamb Meshoui", though the Interweb only seems to have approximations, probably because no one has the room to bury a clay oven and wait for hours while it cooks...

Since the Olympics in in China, I'm assuming I'd have something Chinese. Perhaps beef rib stew, some kind of noodles, and friggin' good tea...

Adventures in Lame Viral Marketing, Courtesy of Ruby Tuesday

I think it's cute. It's certainly not "viral" as "viral" campaigns are not announced, what this is is "fake", that's all.

The World's Smallest Espresso-Maker

It there a guage to tell you when you've hit the barometric pressure you want? Can it do a full 15 bars? Personally this strikes me as something perfect for backpacking, even if there are much more compact ways to get drip or french press (though not much more compact by the looks of it)

Burgering Through D.C.'s Georgetown

First Five Guys was in Alexandria VA, I believe.

Mr. Smith's is nasty. You should have skipped it and gotten the Black and Blue burger at The Guards if you needed to stay in Georgetown. Or Chadwicks (under the Whitehurst), I've never been but I know people who swear by their burger.

Dinner Tonight: Refried Beans Your Way

It's more than personal preference. Due to my religion I can't partake of the swine and I found that if I asked "do your beans have any pork or lard" in the Austin TX area, people looked at me like I shot their Aunt. Apparently down there it's some kind of insult to put anything in your beans but beans, water and salt.

May I Pour You Some Wine? A Server's Take on Wine Service

@thepictsie exactly. I was quite surprised one evening when my father complained that the server brought water that he didn't ask for. I'm of the opinion that a server should always bring water for each person by default. This is just one of many things that a server should instinctively know?

However I do hate the servers that are either impossible to find, or since you are apparently their only table they talk to you every 5 minutes. But if it really bugged me, I'd go to fancier places with better service...
