    The Birmingham Post reports that a Chinese restaurant in the U.K.'s Black Country – and I know what that means having now been there -- is being forced to pay out almost £65,000 after nearly 50 of its diners went down with food poisoning.

    Kwai Lun Chiu, a director of the Wing Wah restaurant in Oldbury, was also given a 12 month Community Order and told to carry out 100 hours community punishment.

    The sick diners included a 22-month-old baby and an 80-year-old man, who had to spend 12 days in hospital.

    They all caught salmonella after the buffet restaurant chefs used raw eggs in a tiramisu dessert, Wolverhampton Crown Court heard.

  • Bad frozen dessert -- and labels -- on Thanksgiving

    Posted: November 26th, 2009 - 9:32pm by Doug Powell

    Thanksgiving was a decidedly low-key affair this year. As the parents of a soon-to-be 1-year-old, we’re just tired. We’ve been to a baby shower, hosted a birthday party with too much good scotch (and turkey) and are driving to Missouri on Saturday, so we were all happy to hang out in our PJs.

    Our friend Angelique came over for some Champagne, but the scallops and beef I made to top the pasta was far too salty. For dessert, it was the frozen kind from Target.

    Amy got some frozen Tiramisu. And I had no idea what that was. But the label and handling directions were horrible. Thaw 6 hours before serving? And cut into 1-inch cubes and divide into 4 wine glasses, and then thread cubes and berries onto skewers?

    Amy tried to zap it in the microwave. Didn’t work out so well.

    Best of Thanksgiving from blue eyes.
