I wrote about Alinea before, when it first opened. Apparently Chef Grant Achatz has tongue cancer, which obviously is like an painter losing their eyesight. His innovative cuisine has put him at the top of the food world, and hopefully the treatment he's receiving can save his life, as well as his tongue.
Thoughts and prayers go out to Grant and his family, you can read a great article about Grant and his battle at The New Yorker.
Please take a few minutes to remember what this day is about.
P.S. Rubbed with just Survival Spice®, smoked/grilled over pecan wood. And yes, so good I got a little weepy.
Fourteen tons of double stuffed Oreos are all over an Illinois highway after the driver fell asleep:
Illinois State Police Sgt. Brian Mahoney says the truck's driver was traveling from Chicago to Morris on Interstate 80 around 4 a.m. Monday when he fell asleep at the wheel and slammed into the median."The boxes came out of the trailer and boxes were ripped open," he said.
There were no injuries that I'm aware of, just a lot of bloated drivers stuffed full of tasty sugary goodness.
Happy Friday, everyone!!! Here's a joke sent in by Kathleen that, while not exactly what goes on in our household, rings true for a lot of families!
And speaking of barbecue season, have you ordered enough Survival Spice® to get you through yours?
I thought not...
Happy Friday, y'all. I'm in the middle of reviewing an interesting book I'll share with you soon.
We've had a terrific response to our last newsletter, thanks to everyone who's ordered so far.
This week's Friday Funny comes from Kathleen, who can forward a good joke faster than anyone I've ever known!
Have a great weekend! Thanks so much for your support of Desert Island Foods®.com.
Apparently Chef Mario Batali's father has a cured meat business in the Seattle area. No online ordering, (ed: what's up with that, it's easy!) but some great looking stuff, and they'll take phone orders.
Thanks to Bob for the link.
Happy Friday to one and all! Here's a knee-slapper from Steve, thanks veddy, veddy much, sir.
