Re: Better Than a Chop-Suey Sandwich, It’s Spaghetti Tacos!

On buttered white bread. Right. Same here. But this is still pretty cool.

Re: Food-Stamp Pillaging: More From Josh Green - Politics - The Atlantic

So 1) Republicans are bad merely because they disagree with Democrats; 2) there's no room for arguing that more and more government spending on teachers and food stamps (and on whatever "the next big bill" happens to contain) isn't driving the country closer to unsustainable deficits that will have lasting negative consequences for taxpayers at all economic levels; and 3) we should eat what Michelle Obama tells us to.

Partisan grandstanding like this makes me happy not to be a Republican or a Democrat.

Wow. That lead singer may be the only vocalist who's actually in a band I think I could walk in off the street and outdo vocally. Am I wrong?

As usually happens, I stand corrected.

Very interesting, nicely sourced, and very well-written! And I'm not just being charitable in my compliments.

Crispy has influence.

That might be taking it too far.

But awesome work on the sloganeering. They'd better back it up with a free sandwich or ten.

Thanks for the pointer. Might hit Hope if I head down to Austin or Dallas at some point.

ColombiaMex grocery in Fayetteville has outstanding tortas. And the Wal-Mart on 6th/MLK is like Disneyworld for me--I can't stop going back, and I marvel each time I see it. And Ozark Coop has about the best veggie aisle I've ever seen.

Very cool. Yet am getting ready to grill with the borax, nitrate, and lime.

It takes a village to raise WH veggies. Literally.

I don't see why these rules should just apply to children.

Kidding. Egad.

Rachel--thanks.

Jon--thanks, too. Also, I have your copy of Starship Troopers. Will drop it in your ALR box this week or next. Thanks.

Re: Ask the Readers: What the Shell?

Baylen — Tue, 26 May 2009 12:03:50 -0000

Shells, too. Makes it, um, crispy on the outside. Or crunchy, at least.

I never get to the de-veining if they're prepped how I prefer because the vein's under the shell. I figure whatever's in the vein can't be any worse than, say, what's in a clam's belly. Or tomalley.

"The legs and tails have to go, obviously..."

Au contraire! I eat both.

Thank you. I'll be here all week.

Re: Bottled Watergate?

Maybe he's like the kids in Slumdog and he's rebottling empties and filling them with tap water.

Re: is-foie-gras-torture

This is a tremendously fair, well-written, and well-researched piece. DiGregorio talked to foie opponents, looked exactly where they told her to look, and found... humane practices. And great food.

Re: I Like Herb

YDRC. IMO, cilantro does have a soapy taste (99 44/100 % pure). But I got over it years ago and love the stuff.

Jody,

It's good and unique, but nothing spectacular. It's more a drunken destination or cultural pilgrimage site than culinary wonderland.

Yep. That about takes the cake.

It's not the celebration. It's the act of drinking with the libertarians @ Cato.
