That's how, last Sunday, I met up with a group of foodiebloggers and readers in the magnificent "Domaine De Penthes", a park with an old manor house (originally a 14th century fortified mansion). The place could not have been more idyllic for a first meeting as we had a plunging view over Lake Geneva.
~ My plates: 1st plate has Corinne's "Salmon Tart", Claude-Olivier's "Thai Spicy Beef Salad", Damien's "Marinated Red Mullet Fish", Laetitia's "Chinese Dumplings" and Rai's "Gorgonzola And Pear Puffs". 2nd plate has my "Savory Cheesecake", ?'s "Chickpea Salad", San's "Feta And Dried Tomato Bread" and Corinne's "Goat's Cheese And Artichoke Tart". ~
So, I met my dear American friend Rachel of "Ugly Fruit" at the Gare De Cornavin (train station) and we took the bus V (see TPG company infos) till the stop "Penthes. We were some of the last bloggers to arrive. There, we discovered many smiling faces and a real feast that was waiting to get greedily eaten. Kiriel of "The Papillon Pantry", another enthusiastic foodie friend from Australia came a little later...
Apart from San, her sister Aurélie and us three, there was also Bebop (and her husband) of "Plaisir Des Papilles", Marie Flo of "Ma Nature 2" (from Haute-Savoie in France) , Ptinutz of "La Page De La Noisette", Lily of "Gnocchi Et Cie", Catherine of "Sans Sucre Ajouté" and her little family, Claude-Olivier of "1001 Recettes" (from Canton Fribourg, FR), Damien of "Un Monde De Saveurs" (from Sion in Canton Valais, VS), Laetitia of "Au Bout Du Monde", Estèbe of "Top Slurp!" and finally Corinne, an assiduous blog reader (and her husband and two children).
The main attraction that day was, of course, the beautiful food which was brought in quantities. Everything looked and tasted delicious! I really had a lot of pleasure tasting everybody's dishes/specialities. It was ever so marvellous to get to know people through their food!
After a lot of thinking and going through my books as well as surfing on the net, I finally decided upon making a "Savory Cheesecake" with gorgonzola, parmesan, ricotta, mascarpone, cream cheese and topped with my famous "Caramelized Onions", a German "Partybrot (party bread)" with "Israeli Hummus" and a batch of "Fudgy Blondies" with white chocolate chunks and pecan nuts (recipes soon to come). I must say that I was really satisfied with my choice and with the way my creations turned out (very well)...
After having eaten and iddly chatted with one another, the thunder was again threatening us. We all started to pack and, unfortunately, our little group splitted and too the way home (too early...).
In conclusion, that picnic/potluck was a real success and I really had a lot of fun taking part in it. I got to meet many great and interesting people, and tasted their gorgeously fabulous food and wines (Mont De Vuilly, mmmhhhh. Thanks Claude-olivier!). What more could you ask?!?... My only regret is/was that I didn't get to speak to all the bloggers (some not at all). A pity! Anyway, I hope that it will not be our first and last meeting, so I guess that I will have the chance to speak with everybody on the occasion of our next foodie picnic, which I hope will be very soon!!!....

Cowl dress pattern available here in a 34" bust! |
"Note: Bias is an advanced technique. If this skill has not been mastered, save this technique for later design work."So . . . is this as hilarious as I think it is? Let me get this straight: they're suggesting that if you haven't mastered the bias, you should come back at a later date . . . when you've somehow mastered it in the meantime by not practicing it at all? I'm so confused!
I certainly understand (and agree with) the concept of building up a good foundation of basic skills before getting into the tricky stuff. Perhaps that's all they're saying? Or that you should save cowls themselves until you've mastered the bias in other, simpler designs? (Yes! I do actually think that's what they're saying now. Whew! Only took me about twenty-four hours to work that one out.)
Anyway, I thought it was a funny quote and a good one for discussion. How often has a more advanced technique intimidated you or made you back away in fear? That quote certainly made me think twice about trying my hand at cowls! But the paradox at the heart of the quote holds true: if you never reach the point where you're ready to throw yourself into a scary new skill, you will most definitely never master it. There are always things you can do to make it easier on yourself: using an "easy" fabric or a simple pattern to start out with. But, at the end of the day, the only way to master the bias is to sew with the bias. A lot.
Cowls, here I come! (Gulp.)
P.S. For more information on sewing cowls, I picked up a tip on Pattern Review last night: Claire Shaeffer's High Fashion Sewing Secrets gives detailed instructions on constructing a cowl stay, which helps a cowl lay beautifully. I ordered a used copy for $2.53 on Alibris.com. Knowledge is power!

A number of studies have shown a link between moderate drinking and a lowered risk for heart attack, heart and blood vessel diseases, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and gallstones.
Alcohol may have some health benefits. But it may lead to abusive drinking and other diseases. Because there's no sure way to know who will have an abuse problem, the American Heart Association (AHA) and other experts don't advise drinking alcohol to gain possible health benefits. Talk with your healthcare provider about the benefits and risks of moderate alcohol use.
Moderate drinking is defined as no more than 1 drink a day for women and 2 drinks a day for men. A drink is considered 12 ounces of regular beer, 4 ounces to 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits. Pregnant women should avoid all alcohol because it can lead to birth defects.
Moderation is different for men, women, and older adults. This is because alcohol's effects depend on how the body absorbs and breaks down alcohol. Older adults break down alcohol more slowly than younger people. This means alcohol stays in their bodies longer. A person's height and weight also impact how alcohol is absorbed. The smaller and lighter you are, the more quickly alcohol is absorbed. People from some ethnic groups also have a harder time breaking down alcohol. Even small amounts can have a big effect on their bodies.
People respond differently to alcohol for other reasons besides height and weight. This includes gender, age, genetics, and overall health. The amount of alcohol you drink, when you drink it, and any history of problem drinking can also affect your reaction to alcohol.
When alcohol is taken into the body, it passes from the stomach and small intestine into the blood. Then it's carried to all organs of the body. Alcohol can be dissolved in water, so it enters your organs in proportion to the amount of water they hold. The more water available in the organs to soak up alcohol, the less alcohol remains in your bloodstream.
Your liver does most of the work of breaking down alcohol. The liver removes alcohol from your body so it won't damage other organs. But, the liver can break down only a certain amount of alcohol per hour, regardless of the amount you drink. A very small percentage of alcohol escapes this process and is eliminated unchanged in your breath, sweat, and urine. Until all the alcohol in the body has been broken down, it stays in the brain and other tissues of the body and continues to cause effects.
In general, women and older men have less water in their organs than younger men. Therefore, less alcohol enters their organs and more alcohol stays in their bloodstream. Younger women make less of the stomach enzyme that breaks down alcohol in the stomach. This means more alcohol is available to be soaked up into the blood. As a result, a young woman will have a higher blood alcohol level than a man of the same age who drinks the same amount of alcohol.
Heredity may play a role in how alcohol and your body act together. Moderate drinkers who have genes that cause a slower breakdown of alcohol are at much lower risk for heart and blood vessel disease than moderate drinkers who have genes that cause rapid breakdown of alcohol.
Alcohol is broken down more slowly when it's soaked up. The process of soaking up alcohol is slowed when you drink alcohol during or right after a meal. The slower soaking up process lets the liver break down alcohol at a rate that keeps more of it from reaching other organs.
Because the liver breaks down alcohol, people with liver disease are more sensitive to drinking. Certain medicines may cause harmful reactions if you drink while taking them. Alcohol affects the breakdown of a wide variety of medicines by increasing the activity of some and decreasing the activity of others. Most notably, heavy alcohol consumption when taking acetaminophen can lead to liver damage.
Also, for people with a history of alcoholism, the danger of drinking is far greater than the possible heart and blood vessel benefits.
The AHA says moderate alcohol consumption helps protect against heart disease by raising HDL ("good") cholesterol and reducing plaque buildup in your arteries. Alcohol also has a mild blood thinning effect. This keeps platelets from clumping together to form blood clots. Moderate drinking may lower the risk for heart disease among men older than 45 and women older than 55. Moderate consumption provides little, if any, health benefit for younger people. And the risk of alcohol abuse increases when drinking starts at an early age. Remember that alcohol doesn't give complete protection against heart disease.
In addition, excessive drinking can raise triglyceride levels. It also increases blood pressure, and raises the risk for stroke. It can also raise the risk for abnormal heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation.
While there's no fat in alcohol, there are 7 calories per gram. That translates to between 100 calories and 150 calories for the alcohol in a typical beer, wine, or spirits drink. Add to that the calories in drink mixers, and drinking could be a setup for weight gain.

Brockley Bites: Sunday special
Bowled over
On one of our regular runs around Hilly Fields BC was thrilled to see that the Francis Drake Bowling Club has gone all arty and commissioned a wonderful new gate:
A definitely positive addition to Hilly Fields, we feel. Hope it was made by a local artist! Can any bowls-playing readers provide more detail?
Other Brockleys
BC has shamelessly stolen a great idea from local blogger the Greenwich Phantom and had a quick look at the location of other Brockleys around the world. Unlike Greenwich, however, there aren't too many to choose from. According to Wikipedia our main competitors are in Somerset and Suffolk.
The Somerset Brockley was the location of a 300-person prisoner of war camp during World War II, initially housing Italian prisoners and later Germans. There's a nearby Site of Special Scientific Interest involving greater horseshoe bats, and nearby is Brockley Combe, an area of fetching woodland - oh, and also the site of Bristol International Airport. Coleridge wrote a poem about it (the wood, not the airport).

Wrecks Takes a Field Trip
Thursday, September 18, 2008
Here we have what looks at first glance to be a perfectly normal hamburger:
But check out the description sent to me by the "architectural foodsmiths" over at Bompas & Parr:
"The burger, known as the Monnow Valley Burger, is comprised of a hamburger patty with two slices of melted cheese, tomatoes, secret sauce and onions sandwiched inside a Krispy Kreme Original Glazed donut and garnished with a slice of gherkin. The Monnow Valley Burger contains up to 1000 calories and 45 grams of fat."
This is nuts! I mean, c'mon, "architectural foodsmiths"? They stick a Whopper in a Krispy Kreme, and they get to call themselves "architectural foodsmiths"? Really?
I guess in their defense, they also created this snazzy little number:
That's pork and tomatoes under that sugary-sprinkled donut shell, my friends. Awww yeeeah.
Now that I've whet your appetites, I'm sure you're demanding to know just where you can procure one of these culinary delights. Well, if you live across the pond you're in luck: they debut this Saturday, September 20th, at the Abergavenny Food Festival in Britain.
And here's the kicker: Bompas & Parr are billing the Monnow Valley Drive-Thru where the burgers are served as "the ultimate American eating and entertainment experience". So going by their press release, the "ultimate American experience" equals hotdog-eating-contests, theater performances in which the actors are dressed as "a flock of burgers", screenings of the movie Pulp Fiction, and of course thousand-calorie-donut-burgers.
Wow. So much to be offended by, so little time.
Actually, I'm kind of torn: this could in fact be brilliant satire, considering our American love-affair with gut-busting fast food and general idiocy. I mean, the show "Flavor of Love" alone should by all rights get us kicked back into the Stone Age, so if donut-burgers and hotdog-eating-contests are the Brits' way of poking fun, huzzah and well played. If, on the other hand, they honestly think Pulp Fiction and prancing flocks of burgers epitomizes US culture, then let me be the first to remind Bompas & Parr that we Americans may be fat, and have questionable taste in entertainment, but we can occasionally tell when we're being insulted. And furthermore, we don't like it very much. (Being insulted, I mean; not the other stuff.)
So there.
Many thanks to Bompas & Parr for the photos and info. Guys, I don't know if I should shake your hands or slap your faces. Maybe you should send me some of those donut burgers so I can make an informed decision.
And as for the rest of you: field trip over! We continue with our regularly scheduled Cake Wrecks tomorrow.

-Is it possible to relapse from a photo?!? Good job, guys. - September 18, 2008 at 7:45 AM
Oh- and let's not forget that this is the country that brought us a dessert called "Spotted Dick."
Seriously. It's SUET pudding with currants. Now I AM relapsing. - September 18, 2008 at 7:47 AM

This was actually "invented" a few years ago by a minor league baseball team in St. Louis, although the Brits may have perfected it. Check it here:
Krispy Kreme Burger - September 18, 2008 at 7:55 AM
Hey now, Pulp Fiction is better than _all_ those other things listed. In a deliberately-bad-yet-awesome sort of way.
- September 18, 2008 at 7:55 AM
...Okay. This is... interesting. Living in the UK at the moment (for school), I have to say that this is more Scotland than U.S. -- after all, though many State Fairs will sell the deep fried Twinkies, they ORIGINATED in the UK, in Glasgow, probably.
As for this representing the ultimate American experience, I think there's a disconnect; people in the U.K. have trouble with the scope and size of the U.S. -- California alone could fit Scotland inside and still have room for England and Wales (but we'd have to leave out the islands). Instead of this being the American experience, maybe it's only, say... Memphis? I mean, don't you see Elvis eating that pork thing? With peanut butter, of course...
...but whatever else this craptastic architectural foodsmithing might be, it surely is not representative of American me. - September 18, 2008 at 7:56 AM

Actually this is beign held in Wales. England brought you the Spotted Dick. Way to go to the Welsh for deciding deep fried Mars bars were not good enough for their party
- September 18, 2008 at 8:03 AM
They just stole ideas from the US
Gotta show some deepfried battered pizza from scotland. - September 18, 2008 at 8:12 AM
no need to travel across the pond! This is most likely an homage to the Luther Burger of Decatur GA and elsewhere. I believe it's also called the Vandross in some circles.
- September 18, 2008 at 8:13 AM
- John said...
why pulp fiction? that's one of my all-time favorite movies and there are a couple of hamburger references in it (Royale with Cheese and the Big Kahuna Burger). but there is also tons of swearing, killing and drug abuse. it's fun for the whole family!
- September 18, 2008 at 8:15 AM
And breakfast was going so well until I read this blog... Ewww!!
- September 18, 2008 at 8:17 AM

That's actually a ripoff of the Luther Burger, which was served at a restaurant in Decatur, Ga. (Mulligan's) before they closed down last year.
Seen here. - September 18, 2008 at 8:20 AM
- Trevor said...
UGH! I can't even IMAGINE eating something like that. Just when I was about to have a healthy breakfast too....
- September 18, 2008 at 8:26 AM
I was reading along and I got the words Krispy Kreme and I threw up a little in my mouth. Not that I have anything against hamburgers or Krispy Kreme for that matter. But together, they sound positively vomit inducing.
- September 18, 2008 at 8:28 AM
A favorite recipe of Paula Deen:
Her special ingredient is a fried egg. - September 18, 2008 at 8:34 AM

I like to mix my sweet and salty, but a burger and pickles on a Krispy Kreme is sick. - September 18, 2008 at 8:39 AM

RED ROBIN does the fried egg burger... my sons girlfriend got it and it was actually (OH dear will I actually say this) it tasted ok... I woudl nto want it but I had to taste it ya know... but to mix a krispy kream and hamburger... that should be illegal... ack

Gagging, gagging, gagging!!!! That is just disgusting!!!!
As if eating a big burger and Krispy Kreme donut by themselves isn't bad enough...no let's slam them together and consume our caloric intake for the day all in one meal!
Aggh... - September 18, 2008 at 9:06 AM
- Ruth said...
Oh my god, that's disgusting. At first, I thought they were cakes that looked like hamburgers and thought to myself, "Oh, okay, it's unappetizing, but it's kind of cool that someone could do that."
It is absolutely foul that someone would put a burger between two halves of a donut. I will go throw up now. - September 18, 2008 at 9:07 AM

I see zeunasc beat me to this: I remember hearing about the Krispy Kreme burger a few years ago from the Gateway Grizzlies ballpark in Sauget, IL. Still haven't had a chance to try it, but since I have successfully braved poutine, I'm up for about anything.

Disclaimer, I'm not a Brit rather a Paddy from next door...
I'd say that there's probably at least some irony at work here.
Ultimate might be a bit off the mark but certain elements are very much references to US pop culture. I don't know about the UK but certainly I'm not aware of a permanent drive-in cinema in Ireland.
Pulp Fiction is probably just chosen as a film with a prominent burger reference, and also one where a certain age group will know a chunk of the dialogue more or less verbatim, ala Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Actually there's a thought somebody obviously came up with the idea for this event and needed a hook, "The ultimate something experience". What other word could you drop in there, Obesity? Elvis? There are enough elements in there that it's sufficiently recognizable, and using 'American' is a little more exotic than 'Milton Keynes'.
Perhaps they should have gone with "Morgan Spurlock" and shown "Supersize Me" instead.
Trust me though, I'm pretty sure that people know that not everyone in the US is like "The Simpsons", "Desperate Housewives" and so on including your choice of Quentin Tarrantino films. - September 18, 2008 at 9:22 AM

AWESOME commentary!
I agree, I am not sure how I feel about the true American experience thing. Kinda insulted? But like you said, if it's suppose to be satire, then I'm all for laughing at our culture. We are a bit on the chubby side (myself included) and prone to enjoy no-thinking-required TV (my current fav is "Wipeout", but then again, I loved the Japanese original, so it's not like we're the only country to enjoy mindless entertainment)
Personally, I heart bacon and donuts, but I'm really not sure I want to eat them in the same bite. I tend to separate opposite flavors. - September 18, 2008 at 9:25 AM
I agree with Tiffany, it made me think of Arrested Development's "American" restaurant in little England.

I remain not all that impressed.
A regular Big Mac manages to pack the same 45 grams of fat into a mere 540 calories (suggesting that only 90 of its calories are NOT from fat, including the lettuce and pickle). And it doesn't even involve bacon or donuts.
I have always been a little curious about those deep fried Mars bars, though. - September 18, 2008 at 9:34 AM

It reminds me of a sandwich at a resturant here in Huntsville, AL--Mason's. It's the Monty Cristo. (I think I spelled that right.) It's a ham sandwich, deep fried, with confectioner's sugar sprinkled on top, and served with maple syrup. My husband got it once just to try it. He said it was good, but too much to handle. I don't think he'll ever get it again. - September 18, 2008 at 9:57 AM

da mouse, the Monte Cristo is a classic sandwich that has been around for a very long time. Not my favorite, but hardly something new. Even Disneyland had a version at one of their restaurants in the 60's. It's that classic.
under the radar, did you know the raisinless version of spotted dick is called "Drowned Baby?" Ignore the name. It's tasty.
Deep fried Twinkies originated in Scotland, not the US, though we have definitely done our best to make it a national food.
I'd also like to say a word in favor of suet puddings. I may be American as apple pie, but I've loved a good suet pudding since early childhood when my mother made them every Thanksgiving and Christmas as a treat. You don't taste the suet. It's simply the form of fat used to make a moist, cakey treat that can be flavored with nearly anything you please. The suet gives a similar texture to the dessert as butter does in a cake, and the amount used is comparable. What you taste isn't suet, but whatever flavor the pudding is. Ginger is a personal favorite.
As for whether we're being insulted or not...I think this is actually a pretty good parody on a certain slice of American culture, and our culture is diverse enough that you really can't parody all of it at once.
But I'm not touching those burgers, which, as several readers have already pointed out, have been more than available here in the US for at least several years.
So...Krispy Kreme burgers, Quentin Tarrantino, drive-in movies...yeah, that's all American. The drive-in movie theater is all but gone, but it's a part of our heritage. It's nice of someone to keep the flame alive, even if they are in another country. - September 18, 2008 at 11:19 AM

I think I might actually be OK with it, if the donut weren't glazed. That's what's getting to me, the thought of picking up my burger and getting frosting all over your fingers. Isn't the point of the bun supposed to be that it makes it a relatively clean finger food?
Not that I'd eat it, even then (I have enough trouble losing weight) but I'd at least understand it as something edible. - September 18, 2008 at 11:43 AM

The "ultimate American burger experience" is to be stuck behind the wheel of a minivan stuffed with six kids in sports uniforms fighting over one video game. Once you have the "stage set" you arrive at the Sonic Drive In after dark when everyone is so cranky and tired that you make them all order the same thing so they won't fight over the food when it arrives. When the food comes you pay a gajillion dollars and then watch helplessly as sodas, catsup, and fries are ground into the upholstery and carpet by your offspring and their team mates.
That is the true American burger experience! At least for most of us! :) - September 18, 2008 at 11:46 AM

The Krispy Kreme burger was, to the best of my knowledge, first proposed in a 2006 episode of The Boondocks, an animated series on CN's [adult swim] based on the Aaron McGruder comic of the same name.
In that episode (series ep #10, "The Itis", aired 22 Jan 2006) Grandpa talks about a Krispy Kreme burger. Prior to that show airing, I don't believe anyone had even thought of the idea.
The Illinois story broke five months after that episode aired.

@alison purnell - how amusing you bring up tuna and corn on pizza: they're two of the three Japanese pizza staples (the third is mayonnaise). Running a close fourth is shrimp, of course. The first food I ordered when I came home (after five years in Japan) was a big, meaty, fish- and corn-less pan pizza from Pizza Hut.
As for the Krispy Kreme burger, I'm all for it. Unless you plan to eat it all the time, eating something really unhealthy once in a while isn't going to kill you; and humanity has proven time and again that sweet and salty things go well together. If you want to deny it, what about those salted nuts-and-dried-fruits mixes? Sweet, and salty.
I've also had the opportunity to try a number of world cuisines and the "sweet" plus "meat" combo crops up surprisingly often, indicating to me at least that it's not universally revolting.
Maybe it's the form factor that makes the difference for people; chicken cooked in a sweet pastry sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon is a far cry from a half pound of beef stacked with cheese between two doughnuts :D - September 18, 2008 at 1:28 PM

Please excuse this comment if it's a repeat of what someone else said. I unfortunately lack the patience to read all 99 of them before me.
This burger wreck reminds me of a much tastier version featured on (I think) the food channel that /was/ a cake (or dessert). It had a chocolate mousse "patty" in place of the meat, kiwi slices for pickles, strawberry slices for tomatoes, and cheese made out of a caramel-like candy made with passionfruit juice, to give it that cheddar color. All on a donut bun.
It's still a "no thanks, I couldn't fit out the door after eating that", but not quite as gross as actual meat and cheese on a donut. Ew. - September 18, 2008 at 3:25 PM

There is an all-donut version: In Boston there is a bakery (can't remember the name) that makes a cheeseburger donut:

It's a glazed donut with a chocolate donut "patty", with creme drizzled on top to make it look like cheese.
And they serve it in a styrofoam clamshell. - September 18, 2008 at 3:35 PM
After reading about the Krispy Kreme burgers a couple of years ago a group of us would not rest until we made them. Now, I don't eat meat, so I was only a witness, but everyone there said it was among the best things they ate and compared the experience to dipping sausage into your maple syrup and wrapping it into a pancake - in other words it was like a McGriddle without the egg. I believe it was rated higher than the deep fried mac and cheese (which was wrapped in bacon before it was fried).
I would consider it an American delicacy myself. - September 18, 2008 at 3:37 PM

Bompas and Parr organise rubbish events. I went to their 'Architectural Jelly Banquet' in London a few months back. They charged 5 GBP (10 USD) entry (fair enough), but then the jellies on display were not for eating, and if you did want any jelly you had to pay 2 GBP for the tiniest portion of jelly I've ever seen. The entertainment at the event was lame, the only upside was that a drinks company was doing a promotion where they gave you a voucher and you then got to stand in a queue for an hour to get a free drink. That was the most enjoyable part of the event.
It could have been such an amazing thing; I was bitterly disappointed. Avoid Abergavenny.

At first glance, I'm thinking 'kinda gross'. I'm not a big donut fan. But then I thought about it. I've eaten besteeya at my favorite Moroccan restaurant. It's phyllo dough stuffed with ground chicken, eggs, cinnamon, and almonds, and dusted with confectioner's sugar. When I first read the menu, my reaction was the same, however it is one of the best things I'v ever tasted. Ya never know.
Twistie - is suet pudding anything like fig pudding? Because that is one of the best things, IMO. - September 18, 2008 at 8:19 PM
The Luther Burger was actually ORIGINALLY invented by the greatest R&B singer ever to have graced a studio and stage...Luther Ronzonzi Vandross.
The story (as told by him & by his mother after his death in 2005) goes that he was cooking himself a homemade hamburger when he realized that he didn't have any hamburger buns. He did, however, have a box of Krispy Kremes. So as a substitute, he used 2 doughnuts as buns. Thus, creating the famous Luther Burger.
Anyone else who claims to have invented this is a liar & a thief.
God bless you, Luther. Thank you for wonderful baby-making music. May you rest in piece. - September 18, 2008 at 8:35 PM

Good grief. Wow. Just, wow. I sure hope they have some thick gravy milkshakes available to wash those burgers down! You can tell who's had one by the greasy brown mustache they have on their upper lip!
And a group of burgers is not a 'flock'. It is called a 'glut' of burgers.
You're welcome. - September 19, 2008 at 1:50 AM
I've worked at the baseball stadium that has the Krispy Kreme burgers mentioned by several posters for the last 6 seasons. Each season they figure out some new concoction to top the year before.
And no, I've never eaten any of them. The sight of them grosses me out. - September 19, 2008 at 2:06 AM

Whenever a chap from Jolly Ol' Blighty (That's Great Britain) says 'pudding', they mean 'dessert that can be pretty much whatever from an actual US-sense of pudding to a cake-like thing'. The latter is closer to Spotted Dick (which is a shamelessly good dessert, and now I crave for some), and if suet is not your cup of tea or unavailable, substitute it with some butter.
That said, I once ran an analysis of Fool's Gold Sandwich (and Elvis Diet myth that accompanies it), and you can see the results of it from here:

I once saw directions, OTOH, for cute individual children's birthday party desserts made with sliced leftover pound cake, cut, arranged, and frosted to look like grilled cheese sandwiches. The article also suggested "french fries" made from sticks of fresh papaya as a side dish. - September 19, 2008 at 5:32 AM

Check out the Luther Burger in Sally Sampson's book Recipe of the Week: Burgers (Wiley 2008). If you are so inclined, you can make a donut burger of your own!!! haha. According to the author, Luther Vandross invented / loved this burger.
- September 19, 2008 at 9:43 AM
i kinda want to vomit, but i have to say (and sorry if someone posted this already) that Jim Gaffigan should get royalties off the idea...lol...just reminds me of his joke from a few years ago ("Beyond the Pale" comedy special) of the "Donut Ham Hamburger"... even funnier now that it's a reality.

To Anonymous (the prenant one); Although somebody already mentioned it. Yeah, that was the first thing on my mind too when I read it. (Well techinacally it was the 2nd thing I thought because when I 'saw' it I thought Jen was going to say it was a cake. Boy was I wrong!)
I was going to comment on whether or not it was a satire but ya'll commentators are to good man! (Tsk I had some real good comments too! And you would have loved it Jen it was short and to the point. Well [Shruggs]
Rule Britanna! You stoled Indian curry, and co-opted German food, so hey you can't win them all! Better luck next time!

The ultimate?????? What????? That, my friends, shows why we can't trust the Brits no matter how many wars they've sided with us. That statement is just plain insulting. I'll have you ignorant Limes know there are French restaurants in the USA too!
While most traditional British food is absolutely nasty, we can't make fun of their cuisine anymore because the Indians and Pakistanis have saved the food in that country. - September 19, 2008 at 11:42 AM

I like that they modeled their food after a restaurant in GA that went out of business and a minor league baseball team that is using the Krispy Kreme burger as a ticket sales gimmick - because the team is hanging by a thread.

Can you actually refer to yourself as an "architectural foodsmith" if you've simply taken something that has already been created (and done better) and added a gherkin?

In Bompas & Parr's defence, they really are artchitectural foodsmiths, not bakers. Their food is for looking at, not for eating.
Their Jelly Banquet was not actually about eating jelly, but about making jellies that look like buildings, designed by architects, including Norman Foster. - September 22, 2008 at 1:10 PM

It's the Luther Burger!!!!!
I saw this burger on an Episode of the Boondocks, when Grandpa opens a soulfood restaurant. They also had a version of it (I think w/o donuts) on The Simpsons called a "Good Morning Burger."

This is the sort of thing that makes me ashamed to be British. Ok, not quite, but you get my point. Perhaps I should just say that I'm English and point out that Abergavenny is in Wales. Abergavenny is also a small, depressed ex-mining town so we may have to forgive them for their culinary sins.
But anyway, British food is actually quite nice, contrary to popular belief. It's only because we had rationing in WWII and when the American GIs came they didn't much like the food that we had to make do with. But food HAS moved on since then! There's an American girl in my year who moved here 8 weeks ago. Whilst we're still trying to convince her about Twiglets, she is actually coping lol.
However, there are still pockets of utter terribleness. Like the time I went to Coalford, an incredibly depressing ex-mining town. I went into a coffee shop and asked for a piece of cake, which turned out to be stale (yum, yum), so I went to the bakery. When I asked for a sticky bun, it turned out to be a bread roll filled with squirty cream and half a glace cherry. *head desk*
Just for reference, the British invented Korma curry in Birmingham, which is now regularly served up in India (I've seen it with my own eyes).
Has anyone here had proper Christmas Pudding with cream? That's REALLY nice.

Ever heard of a 'Luther Burger'?
Named for Luther Vandross, it's a Krispy Kreme donut with hamburger patties, sharp chedder cheese, and 2 slices of bacon. The donut has been sliced in half, then grilled first.

ha. my mom and i actually saw the previously-referred-to paula deen episode where she concots a similar "brunch" item just this wewek, and we cannot stop talking about it. were were both sick and watching the food network, and we saw a "food to come" kind of clip of the burger right before a commercial break- i swear we argued throughout all the commercials with something along the lines of "that's not a burger" "yes it is, mom" "no, that's just too gross for words..." "but mom, it's PAULA DEEN"...
Although she spices it up by placing the meat, egg and bacon between TWO donuts - no cutting corners for Mrs. Deen.
i still cannot believe this really exists. - January 7, 2009 at 11:50 PM

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

In an era when an online single or leaked demo can make or break a band, a young New York composer is taking a chance on a full-blown concept album. Ellis Ludwig-Leone is the 24-year-old, classically trained leader of the group San Fermin, whose self-titled debut tells a 17-song love story.
"It's sort of based around the interaction between a male and a female character," Ludwig-Leone says. "The male character is a little more grandiose — sort of a manifestation of a lot of things that I was thinking about around the time when I was writing, when I was 22. ... I had just graduated from college, and it wasn't a given that I was going to be a musician or anything. Everything was sort of up in the air."
However much Ludwig-Leone identified with his fictional leading man, he says he was liberated by imagining the characters' lives as separate from his own.
"I think the big breakthrough for me was actually figuring out that I could write for characters," he says, "because then I could push these aspects of myself in very different ways and imagine these people as if they had made different decisions and explore a much larger range of emotions."
Ellis Ludwig-Leone recently spoke with NPR's Audie Cornish about the self-imposed mountain retreat where he wrote San Fermin and how pop compares to classical music when it comes to channeling emotions. Hear more of their conversation at the audio link.

Canon announced three new compact cameras: PowerShot ELPH 330 HS ($229), ELPH 115 IS ($169) and A2500 ($129).
Press release:
Canon U.S.A. Introduces Three New Stylish PowerShot Digital Cameras Providing Wide-Angle And Long Telephoto Lenses In Compact Designs
New Lineup Includes the Wireless-Enabled PowerShot ELPH 330 HS Digital Camera With a Powerful 10x Optical Zoom Lens
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., January 28, 2013 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced the addition of three stylish, feature-packed PowerShot Digital Cameras: the PowerShot ELPH 330 HS, ELPH 115 IS and A2500. These new models are ideal for photography enthusiasts of all levels looking for great photo quality and excellent video performance in compact, powerful point-and-shoot designs.
The new PowerShot ELPH 330 HS digital camera provides advanced wireless connectivity for easy sharing. Providing great performance in dimly lit situations, the ELPH 330 HS digital camera includes the Company's HS SYSTEM that delivers clear images with minimal noise and maximum detail even when shooting in low-light. The new cameras offer great features such as Canon's Smart AUTO, enabling even novice users to get optimal camera performance automatically, so whether photographing a running child or a solo recital on stage the cameras deliver spectacular images with ease. Smart AUTO allows the cameras to detect up to 58 scenes for the PowerShot ELPH 330 HS digital camera and up to 32 scenes for the PowerShot ELPH 115 IS digital camera and PowerShot A2500 digital camera. All three models also feature ECO Mode, an advanced new method that manages power consumption and extends battery life by approximately 30 percent, when enabled, allowing you to shoot more photos for a longer amount of time.
"With the introduction of these sleek, new models to our family of PowerShot digital cameras, we are able to provide our customers with a range of imaging options including more models with wireless connectivity to upload and share their amazing creative images," said Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging Technologies and Communications Group, Canon U.S.A.
Photography today is as much about image quality as it is about sharing, whether through prints or online communities. With this in mind, the PowerShot ELPH 330 HS digital camera builds upon the success of the PowerShot line with built-in advanced wireless capabilities to easily share high-quality images captured with an impressive 10x optical zoom lens and 12.1-megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS image sensor. After an initial one-time set-up, the camera can connect to both iOS® or Android™ smartphones and tabletsi for quick and easy sharing. Users launch Canon's free CameraWindow applicationii, available on both the iOS® and Android™ operating systemsi, to wirelessly transfer photos and videos from the camera to their device. Frequently used devices and accounts are conveniently stored in the camera's wireless history menu for quick one-touch access.
With these enhanced wireless capabilities, users now have the ability to comment on their uploaded photos directly from the camera - so being part of conversations taking place on social networking sites is easy and convenient. In addition, individuals can control the destination of Facebook uploads - choosing to share content with everyone, or post photos only to selected Facebook groups. Users can also instantly upload images wirelessly from the camera to Canon iMAGE GATEWAYiii, and automatically upload them to a computer remotely. Photos can also be printed wirelessly using Wireless PictBridgeiv on select Canon wireless inkjet printers, including the new PIXMA MG6320 Photo All-In-One printer, so special moments can be preserved and cherished.

IN THE COMMENTS: Cyrus Pinkerton accuses:
Althouse throws out some red meat for her hysterical rightwing base. A mindless feeding frenzy ensues. Good stuff, Althouse!My response:
My point is -- call it red meat if you like -- that Palin did not grovel at the accusation of racism. She just went right for the point that she had to make... which was never racist. What's new is that she didn't bother to respond to the charge. She wasn't cowed by it. It was utter bullshit of course, and her response treated it as the bullshit it was.
It's new that Palin is unresponsive to questions from the press? Really?
Unresponsive to the charge of racism. Think about that, Cyrus. It is Palin, not Obama supporters, who is post-racial.

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New dragons are added regularly!
Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.
Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.
