Careful. I accidentally put in an extra grain of cayenne pepper and my dinner exploded.

Yes, I know someone who experiences alcohol flush reaction: my wife. How do I manage it? I laugh at her, and she laughs back. Then we continue living on. I did not know about the esophageal cancer thing, however, so thanks for the warning.

This is partial news to me... I think it's known that authentic Kobe beef is not available here. Instead, what we usually find on menus is wagyu beef. Wagyu meaning "Japanese beef." So, yeah, that's right... "Japanese beef beef."

Obviously the solution to this is to just stop eating. Duh.

Or perhaps we should just stop doing what we're doing as a society and just throw everything away. Convenience? Life? Technology? Economy? Pff, let's all just go live in the mountains without electricity. No matter what we improve or create, there are always naysayers. That way, poor farmers don't have to be targets in this ridiculous argument over "ethics" just trying to feed themselves and their family. I'm not a Twitter user, but what's that hashtag again? #firstworldproblems?


NYT Launches Contest To Find the Best Ethical Reason To Eat Meat Food News
3/25/12 3:08 PM

It seems like the focus is on the animals, even in the contest article.

Personally, I would worry for the farmers who make a living off selling meat. It's great to be worried about the environment and try to improve it and all, but you will screw a lot of already poor people for taking away their source of income if they have no other marketable skills. Find a new solution--don't just kick down and brush away those people.

Brass is tough to take care of, but I've always liked it. I don't get how it's been a "no no" and why it's so rare in kitchens, but I guess you can' really understand trends and fashion.

I've noticed many posts here are something along the lines of, "I was afraid of this without any reasl reason, but then I tried it, and it wasn't that bad."

It's food. Food is probably one of the most exciting things right now. And this is a food blog. I think it's time to be less conservative and assumptive and just have fun.

Boil them several times with new water to get rid of the bitterness. Not really an amazing preparation, but I do this when camping.

I have this one. In fact, I have two. There are fancier indeed... but there are equals that are cheaper, too.

Do you guys see the irony in this? These headnotes are full of irrelevant anecdotes... now go back and read some of the comments on this very blog and see how many of those are about how someone's grandma used to make this thing as a kid, or how someone saw this in a cookbook in Greece but couldn't read and understand what it was, or etc..

I don't see how this cuts the time in half...
Just as Jeepyj said, they don't have to be done separately from each other.

My go-to snack as a kid. I used to put American cheese in the microwave until it burned and scorched the plate.

Wow, I just checked out Best Made's site... everything is so overpriced. I can't really account for their quality, but it does give off a boutique-y, form-over-function sort of vibe, despite what the blurb says.


An Attractive Extension Cord for the Kitchen

@zorbs, there might be some ergonomics issues. There's a proper or most efficient way for almost everything of this sort--sitting in a chair, holding a violin and bow, how to insert ear buds, etc..

but like you said, if it's so-and-so (not injuring you), then who cares


Cook's Confession: I Can't Use Chopsticks

If you've gone through so many tutorials already, not being able to use chopsticks is a sign of something else, and I wouldn't limit it to just chopsticks.
