An ebbing tide
does no one any good. My consort and I quite liked this place. And it would have gotten an IWHGB if it had been more geographically convenient.

Tuscan candidates
Brunello: "When young, unstable; when older, unreliable." Sounds like the guy everyone wanted to have a beer with eight years ago.
Be afraid
These are considered improvements on the deep-fried Twinkie. Alligators die for state fair fare?
I always wonder
if I were on the hate train if he were American, but he seems to be fighting the good fight.
The power of positive eating
May be flawed, but it's a start -- "fizzy diet drinks" score higher than hot dogs.

More on Wasilla beer
Sullivan is right about who else is being outed in this election. And I can trace the beginning of the end to the Reagan years, when an editor at the NYT came charging over to the copy desk after seeing a story on feeding the homeless in DC: "We can't run this! It makes Washington sound like Calcutta."
Goodbye, truth. Hello, Chimp and worse. Karma's a bitch.

Not fud, just scary
Come to think of it, though, maybe it's more Republican election fraud: This would give pregnant women two votes.

Torino, discovered again
But the kicker has to be the most horseshit ever tacked onto a story. How in the world would a writer know what older people were going home to dream about in a city where she can't pronounce the pasta names? (Also like the reference to panini sandwiches. Sorta like frutta fruit. Copy editors need to get out more.)

I thought this
was a parody. A day's worth of calories in one little gulp?
(Filched from Wonkette, which had the legit link, too)

I wonder if the guy
who takes a motorcade to the Starbucks in Sedona is aware of this. Only arugula is elitist, though.
Just back from the grocery store
where the only sale posters anymore advertise beef and other meat, and I found this excellent take.

Why do I suspect
Holy Foods might not be opening near me after all? This is a sign of serious hurtin'. And also proof that clipping coupons is not what the budget-conscious are doing these days. Sacrifice that ink.

Throw enough money at a food
and it will get healthier and healthier and healthier. (Yeah, I know it should be "more healthful," but that doesn't read.)
Dissing Ferran Adria
I'm not alone in my amazement at the stunt Sunday Sillies allowed. Forget the post. Go straight to the comments.
Talk about missing the point
Finally, a story comes close to revealing why all street fairs are alike. But rather than talking about the unnamed "three production companies," it natters on about whether or not people like the damn things. Maybe they should have killed Metro rather than simply burying it.
Another day
another nutrition report that omits a crucial detail: Who paid for the study advocating Vitamin D supplements?

Not fud, but scathing
He is a prick. And playing with fire.
Juan Cole also weighs in as everyone should have: What's wrong with being an Arab?
And Atrios noticed this great question.

I think she's found a cure
And not a chemical, geographical cure, let alone sugar or shopping, drinking or dropping.
(Filched from Altercation, where Fridays are the best days)
Let's hope
the citizenry can afford pumpkins in a few weeks. They weren't cheap at the farmers' market this a.m.
The end of roadside eating
as we know it? What amazed me in researching a story this week was how expensive these mass-market restaurants are. Fifteen dollars for an effen chicken Caesar?
For real perspective, though, click through the slide show. Yikes.

Not fud, but scary
How do they cram the genie back in the bottle once they've lost and go back to their multiple homes? Pow's sugar mama can always steal drugs to get her through the night. What the hell are we supposed to do? My friend's casita in Uruguay is going to be as crowded as the A train. . . .
Blame the Simpsons
for lulling us into thinking the eavesdroppers on our payroll were only picking up pizza orders in their snooping. At least in "The Lives of Others" they didn't laugh.
Not fud, but LOL
Is it my imagination
or is the white daughter eating for two? Mom must be so hungry she's turning uglier.
Not fud, but worthy
Just unfortunate that this did not have to happen. One little man has destroyed so many lives.

When tamales collide
Who knew New Orleans was a hotbed of what I grew up eating in Arizona? Be interesting to see how the real deal evolves there with immigration.
(Gleaned through links starting with Marco on a photographer who put his life to amazing use)
I'm not going to link
to the travesty, but I will say: Johnny Rotten he is not.
This loser who sold us the Chimp eight years ago this time should be in stocks in the American town square, pelted with rotten tomatoes if not simian feces, not given front-page space to babble. Too bad he can't be shipped back to Texas, too. Some of us are neither forgetting nor forgiving.

Better late than never
And I definitely gotta start reading faster so I can put this info to use when I meet key characters at parties, even if they can't hear me or vice versa.
And to think food coverage gets dissed
Editors at least decide whether a hot dog-eating contest is a story. Or fajitas 20 years after the fact.

Maybe I need to move to America
The prices are much lower out there on Main Street. I'd be happy to pay only 10 percent more when even crappy Kraft Cheddar is 10 bucks a pound now.

Beware
the series of tubes: This is jaw-dropping stupid. (Love the typos, too: litter cheaper, buger restaurant.)
My outrage meter is broken
but this is still pretty amazing: The FDA tries to clean up its image rather than the food supply. And all roads lead to Alaska.
