I’ve had quite a few “mini-topics” rolling around in my head lately; good ideas but too short to dedicate to a full post. In addition I have also been lagging behind in my press release RSS feeds, so I’ve snagged some of the more interesting ones that have crossed my Google reader lately. I’ll probably start incorporating this as a recurring feature when I’m too tired/busy/lazy/drunk to come up with a single topic to focus on.
1) On Wednesday my company held a barbeque mostly in honour of the weather being nice. Here’s a question: how is it possible that a 110 pound Asian man can manage to eat fucking FOUR hamburgers? Where does the food go?
2) I was apparently snubbed by the organizers of the International Food Blogger Conference by not getting an invite to attend. It hurts because I could have quite easily made the trip down to Seattle, but it’s fine. I guess my blog is just too fucking extreme for the likes of these uptight assholes…you know what IFBC? It’s your loss.
3) Apparently some people do enjoy Clamto juice, whether they are readers of my blog or just people in Alberta. I never knew, but the Caesar originated in Calgary…which just gives me another reason to hate that city. I’m all for loving a disgusting tasting beverage if that is your personal choice, but naming it “Canada’s National Cocktail” seems a bit extreme.
4) Speaking of alcohol, Alive “a new ultra-low calorie, zero-carbohydrate vodka-based drink to add to their beach side cooler” is great for those people who are sick of the calories found in many conventional beverages like beer and turpentine. I can only imagine how awful this fucking beverage tastes considering that its main selling feature is that it has “zero carbs and [has] overcome the 100 calories per serving barrier.”
5) Finally, I know everyone is sick and tired of my chocolate cake just sitting there like a useless baby human, so I believe it’s time for a new food aging experiment. I’m not going to abandon the cake, don’t worry, I just think that it’s time I try something that will grow some gnarly mold of some kind. I was going to just see what happens to bread after a few weeks, but I am open to suggestions. Disclaimer: I will not try anything that is going to result in a noxious smell or require a hazmat team.
