I guess if you've got nothing better to do, and really like protein bars, this is OK.
Getting new tires on the bike, so doing lunch at Wild Wings. Yes, I'm asking myself why I didn't get wings. But this looks good.
Really old. Maybe it's time to throw this stuff away.
In August, we experienced the magic that is Alinea in Chicago. Thanks to someone on YouTube, you can see what the final dessert looked like during preparation.
Grand finale. Frozen chocolate mousse, several coconut elements, candied menthol, chocolate crumbs, and fresh warm pudding served directly on a silicone tablecloth.
Australian wagyu tenderloin with banana, pepper, and grape tomato.
Corn cluster with honey and butter.
Squab and leg meat, served on a log.
Lamb dish with popcorn soup. Course 14, I think?
26 courses. Molecular gastronomy.
This is kinda depressing. No more Mel's Diner, Mr. Sushi, or Al Madina.

Update: I heard that the other building's ok. If I got off my ass, I'd go over and see for my self.
A fascinating look at the ongoing argument of burger flipping. I've always been a nervous flipper, myself.

So my chili rides shotgun. I think I'll call it 'Shotgun Chili'.
Update: Wooo! My chili was judged the best (and hottest) chili. Yes, this doesn't really mean anything, but it was nice to hear.
Interesting drink discussion with the fantastic Rachel Maddow...
Imbibe: If you could make a cocktail for Barack Obama, what would it be?
Rachel Maddow: I've heard that Barack Obama is a martini drinker--maybe that's apocryphal, but that's what I've heard. I'd make him a Pineau Martini (2 oz. gin, 1 oz. Pineau des Charentes)--I think it's accessible for martini lovers, but with a novel, tasty twist. And Pineau is such a great weird liqueur with such a great weird story about its discovery--it would make for a good conversation-starter. I'm tempted to suggest an Aviation [with crème de violette] as well--but serving the new Democratic president a blue drink is just too cliché.
A good reward for a big workout.
The sad part about this is that it wouldn't have been a problem in Canada. The criminal charges part. I know a few people who have eaten brownies and gone a little nuts.
