Jude stores her teas on a serving tray, something like this one that Jane uses.
Good idea.
But this is all the tea I need.

food Search Engine = Foodily
Social networking based around food.
Foodily is like Google news for recipes, but with a social twist. Users can search across multiple sites by ingredient, see recipes that their friends like and create Facebook events around recipes. …
Here’s my search results for “raisins”.
… Allrecipes.com, Cooks.com, BakeSpace.com, and Nibbledish all foster community and encourage comments on recipes, but they do so among strangers. …
FOOD social networking
Rocco uses a site called allrecipes.com to store his favourite dishes, e.g. Italian Chicken and Chickpeas
Seems to me that food is an ideal topic around which to build a social network.
Foodspotting and Urbanspoon are two hot players in this space.
Chewsy, a mobile app, has a GREAT name.
Leave a comment if you use any food centric web services.

It’s snowing in Vancouver and I miss Texas
Rockin’ Ronnie revisits his barbecue pilgrimage.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

happy Birthday, Rockin’
In the spirit of ShewFestivus, a gift of meat.
From Harley Morenstein from Montreal, co-creator of the YouTube channel Epic Meal Time:
We made a gingerbread house. But instead of gingerbread, we used steak and sausage meat as mortar. We made a candy-bacon roof and puff-pastry rafters for the house, we made snow with mashed potatoes and we flooded it with Cheese Whiz. We made bacon-grease Jack Daniel’s eggnog, and Coca-Cola-Jack Daniel’s ribs for the fence. There were also ham doors and windows. The final structure was almost a foot high, 11 inches by 11 inches by 11 inches …
Rocco might have stolen this image from my blog, not crediting the fact that I cut and pasted it first.
gluten-free beer
Estrella Damm is a Spanish pilsener. It has been brewed in Barcelona since 1876.
It’s now available in the USA, stocked by retailers such as Whole Foods, Publix, Harris Teeter, Total Wine & Spirits and BevMo.
Rockin’ can get it in Vancouver and strongly recommends it.
I think it tastes Damm Fine.
bagel thins
Great idea.
As the name suggests, PC Thins TM bagels are thinner than regular bagels so they’ll complement toppings or fillings rather than overwhelm them …
Easier than slicing your bagels this thin. But still 170 Cal each, more than I would have expected.
food in Korea
I wrote this before that nation went on highest alert, the brink of war.
Let’s hope cooler heads prevail over there.
_______ original post:
On my recent junket to Jeju Island, Korea, I enjoyed a lot of good food.
Sadly I don’t know what most of it was. Multiple, multiple courses, most with fish or seafood.
I was told that these soups often included “whatever was leftover in the kitchen”.
I was hiking during harvest season for what we call “Mandarin oranges”.
Other big crops here include carrots and turnips.
Many of the other foreign guests left Korea saying the food was the highlight. If only I was more of a foodie.

in praise of GLUTTONY
I must be joking.
No, it’s Barbecue guru Rockin’ Ronnie that must be joking. He is REALLY paddling against the stream of obese humanity, defending the gorge.
His most recent article in Calgary’s City Palate magazine:
“The road to excess leads to the palace of wisdom…for we never know what is enough until we know what is more than enough.” William Blake
I once ate a 48-ounce steak in one sitting, and I have the T-shirt to prove it.
I am a notorious glutton who, at a business dinner, threatened to bite a waiter’s hand off for attempting to clear my plate before it was empty. Over the years I’ve gotten used to being viewed as a culinary carnival freak. Lately, however, I’ve noticed that gluttony seems to be in style.
The current trend is exemplified by the popular food blog, This is Why You’re Fat, which features glutton-friendly dishes like Meat Mountain and Deep Fried Cheesecake Bites. …

I understand Rockin’s drafting a new controversial article – Stalin wasn’t such a bad guy, the Ukrainian perspective

Paradiso – Positano, Italia
In the frozen wasteland that is my homeland, most people envision HEAVEN as looking like this, Positano:
Perfect climate: never too hot, never too cold. Fantastic local wine, food, fruit, bread and vegetables. You can’t get fat because it’s a 1500cal expenditure just to walk up from the beach to the hostel.
Here’s the view from Brikette.
La vita è bella.
… another rosso vino, Cosmo …
