08.23.06 by Widge @ 1:40 am  Just received a press release here from KFC that they have created a Moms Matter! Advisory Board. I'm struggling with what this means. Moms from all walks of life and different parts of the country will join a group of mothers employed by KFC on the new Advisory Board. The group will help KFC harness the experience that motherhood provides... About...making chicken? ...and channel that knowledge into ways to better meet moms' needs. Oh. Of course. Wait. What? Julienne Smith, founder and author of "Food For Talk," a recipe box of conversation starters that promote family bonding, will join the Advisory Board as an expert contributor. "As a mom and author, I know from experience that families are starved for quality time," says Smith, who describes herself as a "professional mom." "Meals are a great occasion to reconnect and who better than KFC to bring us all to the table to talk about ways to make that time mean even more." 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

08.06.06 by Widge @ 7:19 pm  For you Who fans out there--and hell, for pretty much anybody--Chocablog has the right attitude down when it comes to not only this beastly concoction but also chocolate experiments of any kind:
Genius. Exterminate indeed. Categorized as: Food

07.13.06 by Cosette @ 7:16 am  Chicago-based ecreamery.com has come up with an ingenious idea for us ice cream junkies. They allow you to build your own gourmet ice cream. First, you choose a base mixture, from a lighter gelato mix to a super creamy (just try not to read the part with the fat content). Next, you choose flavors (everything from black raspberry to anise), and finally, mixed-in goodies like walnut brownies, licorice, or even candied rose petals or basil. Finally, you get to name your creation and have it shipped to you! To illustrate just how creative you can get, their flavor of the month is Cucumber Dill. If you can't afford the steep prices, you can at least create something fabulous (or very scary) and e-mail your creation to a friend. Found via Popgadget. Categorized as: Food
