FoodFurious: Taco Bell Challenge part 1: Let the Games Begin
http://food-furious.blogspot.com/2009/10/taco-bell-challenge-part-1-let-games.html
Tuesday, October 20, 2009. Taco Bell Challenge part 1: Let the Games Begin. The Taco Bell Challenge: prepare a three-course dinner for one using only $10 worth of ingredients from Taco bell. Originally, the loser had to drink three shots of olive oil, but we decided against that. The new punishment was to try to cross a log across Lacamas Lake. While being pelted with burritos thrown by the winner, but the weather has turned cold and rainy, and no one wants a touch of the hypothermia. Divining the magnum...

FoodFurious: September 2009

Wednesday, September 23, 2009. Habanero Poppers part 1: "A loaf of bread," the Walrus said. We found these spicy little numbers at the Portland Farmer's Market: two habanero plants (with little green peppers) for $2. Couldn't let that deal slip by. Put these babies in the ground, forgot about them for a while, came back and- Presto! Tasty fruit ready for harvesting. Exactly like raising kids. Two by two, hands of blue: we washed, bisected, and seeded five peppers. Scale, compared to the lowly jalapeño wh...

Monday, May 25, 2009. Cake Decorating 403: How to Decorate Your Cake with a Shotgun. Cupcakes have grown in popularity over the past several years, but their brutality has remained depressingly low (e.g. in England, they're called Fairy Cakes (the name "fairy cake" is a fanciful description size, which would be appropriate for a party of diminutive fairies. Lacking access to this technology, we improvised. We will use the lead shot from these shells to construct a sap. Sunday, May 10, 2009. So, we went d...

FoodFurious: Taco Bell Challenge part 3: Pièce de Résistance
http://food-furious.blogspot.com/2009/12/taco-bell-challenge-part-3-piece-de.html
Tuesday, December 8, 2009. Taco Bell Challenge part 3: Pièce de Résistance. Thing1 ordered both a Frutista Freeze and some Hi-C, in the hopes that an insulin shock-and-awe would sway the judges. Here, Thing 1 reduces the Hi-C down to its most basic ingredients: sugar and red. Thing2 pestles some cinnamon twists. Thing2 really went for presentation on the dishes, a tactic that would probably have worked better if the two judges' scores were equally weighted. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

FoodFurious: Flavor Trippin' part 1: Uh, What?
http://food-furious.blogspot.com/2010/02/flavor-trippin-part-1-uh-what.html
Monday, February 22, 2010. Flavor Trippin' part 1: Uh, What? Ok, so there's this trippy West-African plant called the Miracle Berry Plant, which yields the eponymous Miracle Fruit (which, in a bizarre coincidence, is full of the protein Miraculin). When eaten or, more precisely, when masticated and rolled around on the tongue, the pulp of the Miracle Fruit causes sour food to taste sweet. I know: miraculous. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Crème Brûlée part 1: Dish and Dishonesty. For the most brutal Crème Brûlée ever, we add ginger. A vanilla bean, five eggs, heavy cream, sugar, and some fresh ginger root is all we need. First, it is vital to remove all laundry from the oven. The preheat function on these things will melt lead, so your synthetics aren't gonna survive. Also, remember to launder whites and colors separately. Crème Brûlée part 2: Funk and Functuality. Crème Brûlée part 3: Punk and Punctuality.

Thursday, October 29, 2009. Taco Bell Challenge part 2: Entrée Buffet Display. Thing2, driven mad by a miasma of small-chain TacoBell mercaptans. A result of heating the ill-advised DoubleBurrito. Here, once again, Thing2 shows ingenuity by just asking for plain tortillas. Thing1 spent fifteen minutes scraping off beans, rinsing under the sink, and getting cheese out from under the ol' fingernails. Finished product, and a bitchin' hat. No one would mistake this masterpiece for TacoBell roughage. The Taco...

FoodFurious: June 2009

Monday, June 15, 2009. No cooking this week due to the amount of time spent making these whizbang ties. That glow in the dark. So you can see us as we rode in the 2009 World Naked Bike Ride. In the back, near the center. Look to the ties for your answer.). Wednesday, June 3, 2009. How to cut your kitchen prep time with the suitable application of explosives. What made our salsa so brutal was Tannerite. And Samuel said to the Salsa: 'Thou hast done foolishly.'" (1 Samuel 13:13). This was probably a tad bi...
