Why not get all your addictions satisfied at once?

Came across this (sent by a friend) earlier today: http://www.bongvodka.com/

Yea ... GREAT idea, guys! <-- with a degree of sacasm, of course. I just find things like this funny, in an absurd kind of way.

Been playing with podcasts lately (Apple's iTunes rocks!) and while browsing through some of the casts out there, came across a bunch of them that's food related. Some were even videos showing what they were doing. One had a couple of guys drinking beer and cooking (who knows what). As they continue cooking, they keep drinking more and more and their speech got to be PRETTY slurred by the end. Another one was actually pretty good where a couple of Aussies were cooking either in their own kitchen, or one of their friend's. I love what they call their podcast - CrashTestKitchen. One episode had them making a sponge cake in commeration of a friend's birthday (they were actually in a different country from where said friend was at the time, they just wanted to bake the thing and eat it in his honor). It was titled "Spong Blob Square Pan". Another episode had a bonue feature toward the end where they rescued an orange.

Great stuff. Quite a lot of entertaining stuff out there.

Didn't think I left out the food part, did you? Found a restaurant the other day where they'll cook and serve you up a whole cooked crab for 6 bucks! Went there with H. tonight and had us a feast. We ended up ordering 2 crabs and a few dishes. Whole tab came up to be less than the four sandwiches we ordered for lunch today.

Oh yes ... the sandwiches. Been craving these Phili. Cheese Steaks for a while now. There's a place not too far away from work who does a really great job with them. Ended up picking up a bunch for ourselves and some co-workers too. If you've never had it, it's well worth the trip. The restaurant itself's not really all that great, looks-wise, but the sandwiches ... Thin sliced beef, sauteed on a griddle with grilled onions, add cheese to it, with optional sweet or hot peppers. The whole thing comes out with toasted rolls and the beef all juicy and covered with gooey cheese. I'm getting hungry just thinking about them.

  2. Crab season doesn't officially start until late Oct and lasts until around June or so. Though they're pretty much available year-round.
