My brothers and I decided to use our spare time on Christmas break to make some unhealthy culinary decisions and ended up with some tasty results.
The first five photos are of Andrew’s bacon wrapped hot dogs. The following photos document “The Great Barna Chicken Fry.”
Hey Andrew, do they have these in your state? Read more
The on-campus market started selling organic-noodle ramen this year. I’ve slowly been working through the variety. Today’s was tofu and miso. Stay tuned, dropping a bomb on my brother later today.
Occasionally my brother posts photos of interesting meals he eats onto his blog. Well sir, consider this a declaration of war.
Update: More pictures of the late night pho run over at my flickr.
Michael Pollan’s talk at Cal Poly San Louis Obispo caused quite a stir when the chairman of Harris Ranch (a large ranching company in California) threatened to withdraw a large sum of money if Pollan was allowed to speak without opposition. The university caved and Pollan’s lecture was turned into a panel. No word on how the panel went yet.
A hearty debate is always good and should be encouraged particularly on university campuses, but the circumstances from which this arose are not the most ethical. The university mentioned that it had already been considering a panel discussion, but the promise of lost donations should not have set it over the edge. Pollan wondered whether the he would’ve been asked to join a panel if a large agri-business was invited to speak on campus. A Cal Poly dean replied, “The answer, essentially, is yes.”
Living in the dorms, I very rarely have an opportunity to cook real food. The only things we can “cook” in the residence hall are popcorn, ramen, and hot pockets. This has led me to a habit of saving recipes that I want to try until the next time I am at home. The most recent recipe I’ve found is one for healthier ramen noodles. I believe the idea of it is the perfect mix of college brand junk food with classy home-cooked meals. I can’t wait to try it over thanksgiving break.
This could be the most (ful)filling BLT of all time. From Kottke.
The school district in my home town of San Diego has purchased mobile food trucks to make eating school lunches seem cooler. Something could be said about who the target demographic appears to be but I remember school lunches being horrifying in elementary and middle school (except the taco pocket, I still crave those things) so this idea is welcome.
Frank Bruni’s coworkers at the New York Times had a going away potluck for him.
