You know you’ve always wanted to do this… but you never did. One package of Double Stuffed Oreos has thirty-six cookies. Each cookie is “double stuffed” which means there is enough of the good stuff in there for seventy-two Oreo cookies. So what would you call it if you stacked all that gooey goodness into ONE MASSIVE COOKIE? According to http://home.comcast.net/~igpl/NWR.html, the answer is a Duoseptuagenuple Stuf Oreo.
May be tough to eat with milk…

The High Roller Sushi Roll features marinated and poached fois gras that is wrapped with succulent lobster. The roll is then brushed with saffron & vanilla bean butter and encrusted with caviar. The chef personally comes to your table to top off the roll with fresh shavings of white Alba truffles and drizzles 100 year balsamic over this delicious treat.
Try it at the Koi Restaurant in New York.

Carlsberg — Probably the best beer in the world by Villi.Ingi
Here is how he took beer from 80 degrees (26.7 C) to (seemingly) 40 degrees (4.4 C) in about 3 minutes.
- He took 6 hot beers from my garage and he placed them into a steel pot from the kitchen
- He tossed in enough ice cubes to completely cover the beer
- He then filled the pot with water
- Next, and this is the trick, he tossed in (what must have been) 2 cups of table salt.
- He took a large wooden spoon and stirred this thing up to be sure the salt dissolved.
- He placed the concoction into the freezer and in 3 minutes we had ice cold beer.
Great trick. I can see that the salt would help, but does it work as quickly as advertised?

Dinner In The Sky is for people who expect more from their restaurants than four concrete walls and a solid floor. Instead, diners perch around a massive table, which is suspended from a crane high up in the air.
It sounds completely insane, but as the most unusual — and entirely legal — way of getting high over dinner, it is the new must-do experience for the super-rich and adventure-hungry who yearn for something a little more extreme at mealtimes.

Ketchup Disaster, Jerusalem by nickfraser
Everyone has waited for the ketchup to make its way out of the bottle before. Personally, I get hungrier and hungrier as I stare down at my food, knowing that with one wrong move, my meal end up covered in a thick layer of the red sauce. Thankfully I now have detailed instructions for this delicate maneuver. The internet saves the day once again.
Ketchup can be regarded as a highly viscous liquid, or a thixotropic (flows under pressure) solid. Neither term is exactly correct, but the problem is not what to call it. The problem is how to get the ketchup out of the bottle, in measured quantities, without making a mess.

Now I have a both food & drink recipes on my iPod. I’m sure they might actually come in useful one day. These notes will probably work on the new iPod Nano as well.

Good thing I made Guacamole yesterday. It went really well with super high-fat chips and artery clogging cheeseburgers.

In keeping with the food theme, here is a guide to home made pizza. It doesn’t just cover the cheese and pepperoni basics, this guy is throwing around terms like “Gorgonzola” and “Fresh halved rasperries” as if they were common place. For us mere mortals, this may be a walk on the wild side.

You have to love an engineer who tests the best way to cook bacon… twice. Conclusion: bake or fry, none of this microwave stuff (unless you’re in a hurry). I guess I know what I’ll be having for breakfast now.
Everyone’s got a favorite way of cooking bacon, but what’s the difference if I broil, fry, or microwave my bacon? Well, I tried to find out.
