Thursday Night Smackdown: A bit of okay, gov’nor.
Quoth Brian’s mom, as we finished dinner: “This goes on my list of OK.” Which I promise is not the damnation via faint praise it sounds like. Since I crapped out on my own foodie event by failing to smack anything down while in North Carolina last week, I thought we’d make up for it ...
The frig? It’s kinda pretty, but…what is it?
A Frig? need not be vomit-worthy to be confusing. Take this jar of something or other. It’s pink, it’s somewhat attractive, but what the hell is it? Why are these items sealed together in a jar?

Roundup after the jump, and October 2008 info at the end!

The Dodge & Graham Horse and Pony Jamboree: Epilogue
Thank god, someone made actual dinner. The Horse and Pony Jamboree was a hell of a lot of fun to watch, but, as you may have gleaned, there was not a lot of finished food produced. It fell to the old guard to produce actual, nourishing food that would keep us sated for more than ...
