God I’ve really been enjoying reading these angry posts from the food writer Michael Ruhlman tonight.
Oh, and by the way, you do know that Whole Foods and Trader Joes are lying to you when they sell you “uncured bacon” right? They simply add a shit-ton of celery (which naturally contains the nitrites used in curing) and then take your money.
We shouldn’t let them do that.
I started a new food blog called Four Chord Kitchen. New recipes every Wednesday. Check it out!
Because DIY means knowing how to feed yourself.
Ok, fine, I’ll get a microwave!
This is water. David Foster Wallace with a nice bit of visual adornment.
I’ve made it a point to re-read this speech once a year for the last few. I think it’s even more powerful with this very well done visual/audio component. Definitely a must watch.
When I was 3 years old I cut off my cat’s ear with scissors. I actually remember doing this. My intentions weren’t malevolent in the least. The cat simply was the unfortunate victim of me learning in the wrong order about the cutting capabilities of scissors and the tolerance for pain in your standard household feline. Which, by the way, is not very high. The cat was NOT STOKED. Niether was my mom. Or my sister (who claimed, legitimately, more ownership of the cat, seeing as how she was 5 and all).
Since that day I have never once cut off a cat’s ear.
Lesson: Learned.
This is smart. Fund this project here so I can get my tires. Only a few more days left! Hurry!
I respect this. Want this.

Answer: about himself.
So then I, too, will speak about myself."
