Fun With Food
Last week we went out and bought Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking [Apparently, there are Two Volumes]. We don't have plans to do anything crazy like cooking all 536 recipes in a single year [this blog was once credited with being "hip" for blogging. We all know blogging is for dorks. So is cooking].
In either case, today we were messing around on Alton Brown's website; he's the host of Good Eats, one of the best Food Network shows. In either case, besides exploring things like The Bad Bug Book, the CDC's explanation of food born illness, we also came across the Gallery of Regrettable Food. Its a book. It chronicles the mistakes of food making in the 40s, 50s, and 60s.
If you don't want to buy the book, there are a few samples on the website. Our Favorites:
Peas and Gellatin
White Bread Party Loaf
Weird Star Trek Meatballs
And finally, in what is entirely unrelated, while searching for the Julia Child blog, we came across Blog Of Death. So it has nothing to do with food, but it needed to be mentioned anyway.
