A coworker just asked for one of my Slim Jims (mmmm, junk food) so he could try it dipped in Marmite. I’m fine sharing them, so he took it, and tried it.
Response: “I think I just corned my own tongue.”
Not a combination I’ll be trying.

my sisters got me a book on home meat-curing for my birthday, the simply, yet fancily-named Charcuterie. Beyond its appeal as a potential source of deliciousness, the book is stuffed full of great pencil drawings of one of my favorite subjects: meat preparation. Sausage, Prosciutto, Jamon Serrano, Saucisson Sec, and that staple of every Iowan’s diet, sweet, sweet bacon. Home-made bacon. Made … at home. By you. Holy. F-ing. Shit.
OMFG that looks tasty.

Jeff Varasano’s Famous New York Pizza Recipe
Actually, that’s more like NY-Neapolitan, as this old-school stuff is not what most NYers know as pizza. NY pizza comes from neighborhood places and is in “plain” not “margarita”; real NY Pizza is best served as a reheated slice from a large pie, not fresh and ABSOLUTELY not as a personal-sized pie of any sort.
The other stuff is yummy in it’s own way, though, just as Chicago-style or New England-style deep dishes can be. And getting back to the web page I linked to, the author seems to be VERY comprehensive about his directions, so I’ll be curious to try adapting it to my own taste.
