  • Gratuitous food porn shot of the day grilled brie on a cedar plank with raspberries, almonds, thyme and stuff

    When I was in Australia a couple of years ago with Amy, I got a bottle of Lindeman’s red wine and it had this spice pack and recipe attached to the bottle. I rediscovered the stowaways yesterday, so after successfully preparing baguettes again with Sorenne this morning, we went for this food porn dinner:

    A wheel of brie, sitting on a cedar plank, with some of the Lindeman spice on it, and then topped with a mixture of raspberries, thyme, red wine, almonds (I also added pine nuts) and more of the spice. Grill for 18 minutes.

    The BBQ ran out of gas after three minutes.

    So into the oven at 350 F for 12 minutes, served on baguette slices and fresh veggies to preserve our arteries.

    It was yummy, but reminded me of fondue.

  • California store caught selling moth-infested almonds

    Posted: May 26th, 2010 - 7:34am by Doug Powell

    KTVU reports a Lucky’s grocery store in San Ramon, California, apologized Sunday for selling bags of almonds that contained live and dead insects.

    After receiving a call from two customers saying they had bought a bag of almonds from the store and found live moths inside the bags, KTVU decided to check it out.

    On Sunday morning, reporter Janine De la Vega went inside and bought a couple of bags of Sun Valley Almonds. She found insects inside these bags.

    A corporate spokesperson said the store had removed the bad merchandise Friday and new bags of almonds were restocked on the shelves. But what store employees didn't realize was those bags were also tainted.
