So how did stuffy old white bread become achy breaky white trash?

Meat music video
in a gesture that calls to mind both the paintings of the Renaissance artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo and Lady Gaga’s notorious meat dress, with maybe a dash of the flying fruit and dancing chickens from Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” thrown in, a video by a neo-classic rock Canadian band called Zeus features surrogate versions of the musicians fashioned out of food.

I’m not one of those Hemingwayesque types who can sit down with a pitcher of Martinis and rise up again with a piece of writing. When I drinks, I drinks; when I writes, I writes.
This, coming from the foremost written word authority on booze juice itself, speaks volumes about how drinking has gone from something does constantly, without regard, to quite purposefully and with great passion. Reconstructing 350 year old punch recipes with Grant Achatz’s crew is something to be savored and remembered, but an overpriced, watered-down airport cocktail is just lazy.

Butter means they love you. Butter means they know you’re hurting. Butter means they’ve missed you or that they’re sorry. Butter means they’re glad to see you. Butter means they want to kill you, just a little, but make it worth every shaved instant of life.
Love this two part series about the power of plugra from Jason Sheehan
II: Butter Means They Love You

But no, the boyfriend insisted on Neptune. He felt really bad, she says. “It was the first time he’s ever struck out picking a restaurant.” They broke up not long afterward.
On the food-as-indie-rock matrix, I have just accidentally confessed to loving the Dave Matthews Band. Chang gives me a forgiving look and reaches for more crispy pork.
Nothing new, but a great exposé on the young people food obsession.

Worlds Fattest Woman Marries Chef
Seems obvious.
Susanne Eman, 33, who weighs over 54 stone wants to double her weight to hit over 115 stone. Now she’s found a partner to help her in her bid, 35-year-old chef Parker Clack.
The two plan to marry with Eman saying they are a “match made in heaven”: “I love eating and Parker loves cooking.”
The universe is a vast and uncaring place.
There is no right or wrong, morality is a human construct. Nothing we do will have any significance beyond our tiny, worthless, unimportant sphere of influence.
Yet here I am, waiting in line to order a veggie sandwich with locally grown ingredients, and holding in a fart.

Kudos given for guys who know how to snack
“Huh. I have half a frozen pizza and some ice cream. No wait, the carton’s empty. Nevermind. I have some pickles, but they’re pretty old. I have six Triscuits, no wait (shakes the box) like, four Triscuits. I can make you some soup? I’m pretty sure I have a can around here somewhere.”
A guy’s kitchen is a constant source of disappointment like consistent sizing at Old Navy or the show 2 Broke Girls. So, when he takes the initiative to make us appetizing snacks, I’m genuinely surprised and pleased. I’m surpleased. Sure, I’ll jam on some chips and salsa. An olive medley? Okey doke! Even a little dish of raw almonds would be grand. Really, serving me anything other than Pringles crumbs is gonna make him look like Jose Garces.This is the most basic thing on the planet, but snacks go a long way. Boys, guys, and men, please brush up on your snack game. I beg you. I swear, it makes all the difference.
