10.10.06 by Widge @ 3:00 pm  MAKE Blog points us to this full how-two for a badass Halloween dinner that includes a main course of long pig (showing here), along with alien autopsy shooters, a gelatin heart for dessert, and chilled brain spread for starters. The non-spooky rolls just about gave me a freaking heart attack. Then they also pointed us to this how-to for creating a meathead. No, not Rob Reiner's character from All in the Family, we mean a serious meathead. Categorized as: Food

09.14.06 by Widge @ 5:55 am  Find out by checking out Chocablog's review of Xocoa Gold, which is dark chocolate covered in edible gold leaf. That's pretty impressive when you consider the best I can muster is a half-eaten Hershey's bar covered in non-edible tin foil. But hey, nice work if you can get it... Categorized as: Food

08.24.06 by Widge @ 8:52 pm  The Counter lets you build your own burger. As you can see from their menu, they have a crapload of toppings. So Tim did what any one of us would do: he ordered one with everything. I'm talking everything. It weighed in at five pounds and had a total of fifty-four toppings. Then he tried to eat it in thirty minutes. What a freaking maniac. Tim, we salute you. Of course, I checked with our Minister of Beastflesh, Siege, and he's thrown a yellow card on the play: See that's cheating. You have to have it on a bun for it to be an accomplishment. He just made a Siege- and Widge-friendly salad. You know it's a Siege- and Widge-friendly salad, when it requires a steak knife to eat. Regardless, I figure you could easily make a giant bun that would incorporate all that. So I'm going to be impressed anyway. And wish I had a Counter here in Coast City. Categorized as: Food

08.18.06 by Widge @ 3:13 am  I had no idea this even existed. Record Robot has posted three MP3s of Vincent Price's Foods From the Austro-Hungarian Empire, an album designed to be part of Price's international cooking course. Read the article at Record Robot for the full story, but considering I'd be content with hearing Price read the freaking phone book, hearing him talk about fine food works for me too.

08.13.06 by Widge @ 6:13 am  I dig Altoids. I like the mints, especially the cinnamon ones. I dig their gum, because it's actually intense, as opposed to a lot of supposedly "strong" gums that last about five seconds. I even like the sour bits, although I can't consume too many of them before whatever makes them sour starts to screw with my head. But dipping an Altoid mint in dark chocolate? Does this sound like a good idea to anyone? I mean, kudos for this eBay auction going to help the Red Cross and all, but these will hit shelves eventually, so the description says. And I say gah. Just gah. Categorized as: Food
