Foodies Across Borders

While menu planning for our annual New Year’s eve gathering here in the FAB East kitchen, I came across this very cool site. Free Rice is home to a word game that really tests your knowledge, but has a great purpose: Help feed the hungry. For every word you get right, 20 grains of rice are donated through the United Nations. That’s great, but how do they pay for all of this rice? It’s simple, like millions of web site owners, they generate income with Google’s Adsense. This is very cool, and more than a little bit addictive! A tabbed browser makes it easy to cheat, which is a good thing in this case.

Believe it or not, I found this through Emeril’s blog

Just a little bit of eeewww factor for you techno foodies. Today the Worth1000 folks have posted some pretty messed up dessert combos in their latest photoshop contest. Check out the undersea ice cream cone.

Ok, so what the heck is American Super Chef Bobby Flay doing at the North American International Auto Show? Well, he’s hamming it up for America’s soccer moms at the launch of the new 2008 Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country. I think the tagline was A New Recipe or something like that.

I’m outta place here, “cause Sandy is halfway through a real review of the new show, but I’ve been into the Banrock Station & this Dude’s show just kills!

This cat rolls into an old Italian monastary, gets the monk dudes shit faced & teaches them how to cook! Just imagine the opportunity….stroll into an ancient place with a misplaced rep & rejuvenate a bunch of really old dudes. He had a 70 year old monk (who had been in the place for 60 years) shakin’ his ass to The Cure!!!

Stay tuned for more coherant comments from mama G
