Seriously, though, my wife and I get up at 6:00AM and don't get home until 8:30PM-9:00PM. I feel like I haven't cooked in forever.

Yeah, me too. I think this recent article by Rene Redzepi also makes a nice companion piece.

Talked to daycare teacher. This poo poo is something that's making the rounds. I asked her how long it took her to get a sense of taste back.


She said two weeks.

Damnit, the vegetarian girlfriend is already completely grossed out by ground beef, I don't need her hearing this poo poo.


http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/food/how-safe-is-your-ground-beef

quote:

All 458 pounds of beef we examined contained bacteria that signified fecal contamination (enterococcus and/or nontoxin-producing E. coli), which can cause blood or urinary tract infections. Almost 20 percent contained C. perfringens, a bacteria that causes almost 1 million cases of food poisoning annually. Ten percent of the samples had a strain of S. aureus bacteria that can produce a toxin that can make you sick. That toxin can’t be destroyed—even with proper cooking.

I thought this was all dealt with in Fast Food Nation, but I didn't know about that particularly nasty indestructible one. Not that I'm surprised.

That's not surprising in the slightest? Cutting up a cow is messy at a butcher, let alone at a plant and when you grind the beef the surface microbes is spread throughout. You'll find bacteria that *can* cause illness in almost everything you at, vegetarian included.

Oh I know that veggies cause more food poisoning then meat.

I was just surprised by the 100% contamination, and the indestructible one.

Also, animals like to poo poo on vegetables. And sometimes so do the guys picking them.

Cilantro is never ever cheaper than $1.50 here, and sometimes goes all the way up to $3/bunch

Do you pay extra for the poo poo, or is that why it's so cheap?

Y'all are real cooks in this thread, so I have a weird question. I'm working on a script where someone ruins a kid's birthday party by bringing in some sort of foody, avant garde or modernist cake that all the kids hate. I'm doing some research and I figured I'd cobble together something like a chipotle chocolate mixture or something modernist with like, individual servings of an absurd flavor combination enhanced with foam. Any off the cuff suggestions as to what you think a cultured person would enjoy that kids would hate?

If you were going to abbreviate the word "avocado" in your script, how would you do it?

The cake is a basketball sized spherified chocolate liquid. Someone cuts into it and it spills brown liquid all over everything.

A hipster food nerd making a cake with bitter 90% or 100% cacao chocolate and thinking kids would like it because they like it seems the most plausible, something I could imagine happening in the real world.

If you don't tell people that there's pig blood in your chocolate cake, they probably won't know the difference :ssh:
