What, a raw frog?

caddis — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 12:37:56 -0800

Friday Frivolity. We use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose. A recipe for the infamous Crunchy Frog. No frogs were killed in the making of this recipe. (via Neatorama)

It's Pancake Day!

Grrlscout — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 09:42:45 -0800

It's Pancake Day! Also known as Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras, the day before Lent is celebrated in the UK by events such as football matches, races, and the consumption of mountains of pancakes. Perhaps you celebrated by running a pancake race, like the famous one in Ripon? Or, perhaps, you made some lovely pancakes of your own?

The Royal Society of Chemistry has published their specifications and recipe for the perfect Yorkshire pudding. Unusually for this type of thing, it might not have anything to do with selling anything.

Bakin' cookies with bacon!

Lush — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 23:33:10 -0800

Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies. Other bacon cookies have been mentioned before, but considering how well-received bacon and odd food pairings have generally been (among other unapologetic monstrosities), I decided this was worth sharing. [via]

Key Lime Pie

seanmpuckett — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 06:22:48 -0800

With few cows, no ice, and lacking refrigeration the only dairy product reliably available to the Florida Keys in the late 18th century was condensed milk. Add a local plantation abundance of small, sour key limes (known to most as West Indian limes; not the more common Persian/Tahiti lime), and inevitably someone -- perhaps Aunt Sally -- put them together to create the quintessential Florida Keys confection known as key lime pie. Tart, sweet, and oh so smooth, it is the ideal dessert to nibble on while watching the sun go down on a steamy summer evening. While the Eagle Brand can recipe is canonical (thank you, Ms. Borden), a multitude of variations exist such as cheesecake, tarts, cookies and ... mustard? And note that no matter how you take your pie, there's something aficionados all agree upon: the true pie is pale yellow, never ever green.
Finally, note that this is not Key Lime Pie, although that, also, is very tasty.

Winemaking

Upton O'Good — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 19:26:26 -0800

Jack Keller's winemaking site has not only the basics of home winemaking in 5 parts [1 2 3 4 5], but also information on more advanced topics, including acidity, blending, and using a hydrometer. Equally interesting is his extensive collection of recipes for making wines out of things other than grapes, including dandelions and other edible flowers, wild plants (including nettles!), cabbages and beets, tea and coffee, mint, pomegranates, and pumpkins. A complete list of recipes is here, if you'd like to click through alphabetically, and a list of specially-requested recipes is here (scroll down a bit).

When salting water for cooking use 1 tablespoon of salt for every 4 quarts of water
