Food Thread: Hillary Clinton Will Never Be PresidentBefore we get into the meat of the Food Thread, We have a treat in store for us, courtesy of our very own artisanal 'ette: Here is an interactive web version that works on my computer, but may or may not work on yours...depending on weird web stuff. ![]() Across Obviously the theme is Thanksgiving, so here's your chance to brag about the perfect stuffing recipe, or maybe even teach us how to make turkey edible! Here's a link to my world famous Sausage and Cornbread Stuffing. Yes, it is the best. By far. Well, except for the oyster stuffing I made 20 years ago, then forgot to write down the recipe.... Penzey's Spices is a large spice company with about 70 retail outlets and a large mail order business. They also seem to be a bunch of preachy, progressive, whiny assholes. Penzeys facing firestorm after owner slams Trump. And if you poke around their website a bit you will discover lovely little nuggets such as: Earth Day 2015 or: One for the Road to November 25th 2021 I have this crazy idea for the proprietors of Penzey's Spices; if you want my business, shut your pie hole about politics and just sell good quality products at a fair price. What's that? "CENSORSHIP!!" Uh...no. The market can't censor anything. Only government can censor. What the market can do is cut into your sales. And keep spouting your progressive blather and more and more people will notice, and spend their money elsewhere. So....here's a job for The Horde: what are some good alternatives to Penzey's? Unhappy Meal is a not strictly fair but mostly true criticism of the current craze over "tapas," or small plates. It's also amusing. Good tapas joints are not expensive, and can be loads of fun. Tasting a bunch of different foods instead of just one dish can be a blast. But as usual, the market is pushing the envelope (that's not bad) and the invisible hand will have to slap it down a bit. Yes, I am a bit obsessed with Chipotle and its current troubles. But I find it a wonderful corrective to the conceit that the hipster mentality and esthetic is in some way better than the staid and tired and passé business plan of McDonalds and IBM and Chick-Fil-A. Chipotle Eats itself is an evisceration of the management team and its arrogance. Chipotle Mexican Grill was a sizzling business with a red-hot stock until an E. coli outbreak derailed its future. Can a mission-based company make gobs of money and still save the world? Pro-tip: the mission of any business is to make money and maximize shareholder value. Any "mission" that detracts from the goal is a violation of the principles of business and will bite you in the ass. What kind of mission are you on? You serve burritos. This isn't curing cancer. Poke around the internet looking for cases of food poisoning at the big fast-food chains, and you will discover that they know how to prevent it. My dad testified for McDonalds in a food poisoning case many years ago, and as part of the preparation for trial he went over all of their food safety processes. He was amazed! His impression was that it was essentially impossible to get food poisoning at McDonalds unless many people made huge mistakes all in a row. ![]() Maple-Bourbon Smash is an odd riff on an Old-Fashioned. I use maple syrup as the sweet component in my Manhattans, and it works wonderfully. For Old-Fashioneds I use brown sugar simple syrup, but I think I will give this a try. Well, the orange juice is just weird, and so is the lemon juice and the seltzer. Maybe not..... I made Cioppino last night, after looking through dozens of recipes. Most called for lots of fennel, which I think overwhelms the delicate flavors of the seafood. I found one recipe that looked promising, but had some clear flaws. Like a tablespoon of chili flakes. Um....that's ridiculous. And cooking the seafood for 20 minutes? Yuck. Anyway, I modified it extensively, and so can you. Just put the seafood in at the correct time so it isn't overdone. Ingredients 6 prawns, peeled with tails left on In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. • Add the onion and red pepper and sauté for a few minutes until soft. | Recent Comments
