Hey Senators, you can call them French Fries again….'Death to Freedom Fries!"

Posted on August 3, 2006 by CD

Apparently, the powers that be have realized that it’s idiotic to call French Fries anything but French Fries. Personally, I think this is all an attempt to save face as the Ayatollah in Iran makes similar changes.

Jayeola, food scientists at the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria, have mixed cornstarch with cocoa to produce a heat-resistant chocolate that they say compares “favorably with conventional milk chocolate in terms of color, taste, smoothness and overall acceptability.”The starch acts as a chocolate thickener and prevents the outflow of cocoa butter—the…

Ten Speed Press

Posted on June 27, 2006 by CD

Recently, Mink Hippie treated me to my first deep fried Twinkie at the Hawaii State Fair. At the time I thought that was about as outrageous as you could get with Twinkies…but, as is often the case (okay, once in a while, rarely..but sometimes) I was wrong…Apparently they are also good for pork loin side…
