GRAMMY AWARDS TONIGHT - What are you eating?

Will be watching the 2 hour episode #6 of Downton Abbey tonight, not the stale Grammys, with a mug of Earl Grey tea and a spot of milk.

National ( Food of Your Choice) Day!

Here is a link to an entire years worth on "National ____ Days" also including weeks and months. Today is National Homemade Soup Day as well as National Stuffed Mushroom Day.
Couldn't find "National Eat as much Bacon for Breakfast as you want Day", so that would be on my wish list.

A Poorman's Birthday Steak Dinner

I'd go for the chuckeye steak, some call it "poor mans ribeye".

Sunday Brunch: Cornish Pasty

Ditch those nasty turnips (yuk) and use parsnips (yum) instead.
Now you have a tasty pasty.

San Francisco 49ers vs. New York Giants: Which Team Is the NFC Champ of Food?

I hope after the game, they ask Manning to describe the subtle nuances and earthy notes he tasted from eating the turf all afternoon at Candlestick (sorry, it will always be Candlestick Park to me) compliments of the 49ers Defense.
Go Niners!

Food myths

Eating the mealworm (actually, drinking it from the shotglass from the last shot in the bottle) at the bottom of the mezcal bottle will make you hallucinate.
The good news, is that it is mostly all protein.

Foodisphere Erupts Over Paula Deen Diabetes Announcement

Whats next for this woman?
Deen will announce that the best way to pop those nasty Novo Nordisk pills, is to coat them in butter, then roll them in leftover Cheeto's cheese dust, and wash them down with a big glass of eggnog.

How to get tender apples in a pie mix like the one in the can

Why on Earth would you want apples that replicate the ones that came out of some can? If your apples come out "ugly and too crisp", in my opinion, you have done a fine job!

Get to Know Us: Anna Bauer, Social Media Intern

Welcome, and please do yourself a favor and try some bison.
Some of the healthiest meat around when compared to beef, pork, turkey and chicken. A bit pricey, but wonderful and not "gamey" as most people think. My favorite is a bison ribeye. Here is more info.:

The Worst Thing I Ever Found in My Food

I was pumping ketchup out of one of those large self serve condiment containers into a small plastic doilee at my local Hardees when I pumped out a fly mixed into the ketchup. Game over, I left and never returned. I only use ketchup and condiments in individual packets now.

Food Commercials? Which ones tempt you (or not) the most?

The Miller High Life ads from about 10 years ago were some of the best commercials ever, done in a series from film director Errol Morris and narrated by the gruff voiced Doug Jeffers.

Gruet 2007 Blanc de Blancs (around $24)
