Delicious, but deadly.

Popcorn Lung!

Mmmm… popcorn… *drool*.

Seriously, I had no idea. Apparently there’s been some recent news that not only can if afflict the people who manufacture it, but also people who consume it. You know, if you eat it more than twice a day for ten years.

I suppose the lesson (not surprisingly) is that the things in life that you enjoy, you should probably enjoy them in moderation.

Say What Now?

Alex Food Skunch

Play along with me here for a minute. Let’s say that you’re perusing one of your favorite SP Endorsed websites, in this case the usually entertaining Fire Joe Morgan, and you come across a link that you can’t help but click upon, even though you’re thinking to yourself:

That can’t possibly be a real website.

Alas… after several minutes of perusal, I’m convinced that yes indeed that is an actual website, and I’m pretty sure that product actually exists and… I’m not sure how I feel about it. As much as I love bacon, I’m both intrigued and totally repulsed.

I think this may have broken my brain… I think Wade should invest in this and de-lethalize his supertots by 75%.

PCP: Cocktails

Food

This week, Alex and Wade take on another hard-hitting topic for Point-Counterpoint: when presented with an extended evening of drinking, what cocktail do you choose? While none of us have to worry about this as much as we did, say, five or ten years ago, it still comes up from time to time. And, as always, we’re here to help.

Greatest thing since sliced bread? No-knead bread!

Food wadE

If you caught any of the reports today, you’d think that the Holy Grail had been found.

Apparently a baker in NYC has discovered a recipe for bread that requires no kneading. Praise the deity of your choice!!! It is truly a miraculous age we live in!

I should tone down the sarcasm a bit I suppose. The time from start to finish on this bread is a mere 18-36 hours!

There are somethings in life that are worth purchasing at a store. This happens to be one of them. It’s not like bread costs 10 dollars a loaf. I don’t know about you, but 18 hours to me is well worth 5 dollars at the store.

However, if you are interested, you can find the recipe here. Enjoy!
