Sunday Brunch: Giant Gougères

Michael Ruhlman did a nice blog post/video demo on choux about a week ago. Based on his ratio, I made a batch of gougères for an office potluck this week and accidentally made them giant size. I guess we have different definitions of "golf ball size." They came out pretty tasty and were a fairly easy last minute thing to whip up.

Should Junk Food Help Pay for Health Care?

Wouldn't it be easier to remove the government funding that makes the corn that goes into the junk food cheap?

But that won't work since it would cut into the processed food industry's profits, fail to give free money to the health industry, and remove demand from the health industry.

Eat This, Not That: The Worst Foods in America

"Chipotle has some fine tasting food, but I believe it is owned by McDonald's corp.,"

Basically McDonalds just funded a bunch of money and chain-expanding knowhow to Chipotle to get them started. There was a good article in Time or some other similar magazine about it. They never really influenced the food side of the business, which has always been about fresh ingredients cooked in-store.

You can cut that 1000 calorie burrito down a whole lot by leaving off the sour cream and the tortilla. The chipotlefan website has a nice calculator for figuring out what each topping "costs" in calories.

I don't eat at Chipotle much anymore since my office moved next to a great Cuban restaurant and a locally owned burrito shop with similar quality just opened closer to my house.

Question of the Day: What's your favorite appetizer to prepare for company/potlucks?

Well I just got back from a company party where I set up an omelet station with black forest ham, red onion, green peppers, tomatoes, portobello mushrooms, cheddar, blue, and parmesan (freshly grated, of course) cheeses, and some homemade tomatillo salsa verde.
