Would Cavender's Greek Seasoning be at home, say, on poo poo you're sizzling up for gyros, or roast chicken, or...? What's it compare to?

You'll come for the tale of cooking animal testes, but you'll stay for the fantastic preview of Nice Pete's fried chicken recipe from Cookbook II! Next week's Mercury letter column will probably be filled with angry letters from sanctimonious hipsters, alas. Maybe a follow-up column about PBR would placate them?

I know nothing of it, however a fancy health-foodish market that used to carry a ton of spices and spice mixes in bulk jars had a greek seasoning mix that was awesome. We'd throw it in black beans when we heated 'em up, and they also made scrambled eggs into scrambled awesomes.

Well now I want to drink it even more. It can be worse than this terribly "whiskey" corn malt liquor that had chunks of something floating in it that I drank one time.

There was that time he cut himself in front of Little Nephew. Oh, and then the USB murder machine stabbed him in the eye... His description of the fried chicken recipe made me fear for Alton Brown, as I seem to recall his fried chicken involved elaborate preparation including either buttermilk, brining, or both.

Then again, Alton is from Georgia, so he's got Southern ways too. Edit: Does that mean that should I wish to prevent being Taken by Alton Brown, I should save his life?

I am a Southern Man through and through and I'm here to tell you, if I ever had my life saved by someone, I would make it a point to never murder that person. It is our Way.

Good enough guy but...put it this way, we once had a Bring Your Own Steak cookout, and he showed up with a cow tongue, insisting it was too a steak. He also once showed up at this other dude I know's house...before going to bed he had locked and double checked every single door and window. He went to sleep, and four hours later, the Mad Dog dude was shaking him awake and asking if he had anything to eat. When asked how the hell he got in the house, he reacted with a genuinely confused "what?". He hosed things up in ways that defied the very laws of physics. Anyway, that's the sort of dude that will split a bottle of MD 20/20 with you.

My favorite Nice Pete blog is this one: Nice Pete posted:Living out West has infected me. I am a slave of the advertisements and the shameless style of spending money. I have a good car, yet I want a separate car, of a different shape, for those times when I feel a different way about myself. I even want a third car, of a third shape, for a time in my future, that I should hope for, when I feel a third way about myself. And oh the colas. They are never content with their colas. They add cherry, and vanilla, and then coffee flavor, and they take away the sugar, like a magician pulling away the tablecloth, and change the logo artwork, and keep you ever dancing, dancing, like a madman on a red-hot conveyor belt to hell; if you don't dance in place and always buy more strange new soda then you'll fall on your side and be whisked off to the scalding white-hot pits of brimstone and sulphur. That is what it is like to get out of bed each day in California.

I admit I experimented in my "wild years", I guess everyones gotta try cheap wine. Rex Goliath was my favorite of that experimental period. MD was too sweet. Also brewing your own liquor. I tried a family recipe for Kahlua but it didn't ferment, I think someone left out an ingredient when they passed it along. Its basically coffee syrup and tastes fantastic on ice cream.

That quote about how a white person fails at cooking chinese food is just one of those things that is so strikingly apt. I'd love to get drunk with Onstad and cook weird food, but for some reason that sounds sad and creepy when it's a stranger from the internet saying it.

I would pretend that I am on hard times, and then using Onstad's sense of charity, I would "temporarily" move into his house slowly gaining his family's trust. Then I would get a hair cut to look exactly like him, and I would start wearing his clothes and slowly get his family to love me more than him. Eventually I assume he would move out and I could continue Achewood by myself. The strip would suffer because I have no talent, and I would eventually fall into a shame spiral studded with habitual drug use and alcoholism. This is all laid out in my diary which I will post later. You know what, you may be right? Just a beer and a cookout with him may be easier. FAKE EDIT: Just joking, Mr. Onstad. I am not going to shoot Obama to try to impress you or anything.
