The Useless Critic 2.0

Word has it that both Oh Land and Fiona Apple were at SXSW this week. And I wasn't. Do you see the disturbing factor there?  Well, Fiona is a lot more remarkable, in this scenario. She's been around since the mid-90s and in hiding really since 2005, when Extraordinary Machine  was hauled out into the public eye, after being kept down by her record company. God! I can't believe that was like seven years ago. I need a moment. I did not take that photo. Someone from the HuffPo did. While this concert happened, I was in Phoenix, doing things. not sure what, but certainly not seeing Miss Apple in her yoga body glory!  Also:  she played at a barbecue. huh. that's like, the one place this side of a car wash I would expect to hear her. whateverrrrrrrrrr. I hope someone was eating prime rib while she tore through "Sleep to Dream." WOMP WOMP WOMP.  The real incentive for me writing this post, however, is her behavior at said barbecue jam. Tot...

So this is rather simple, QATFYG: Does anyone out there have a favorite cooking show? Nowadays, I do not often watch cooking shows, but as I said in a post from a long long time ago, I watched lots of television programs about cakes. I was also a big fan of a show called “Cooking under Fire” with Chef Ming Tsai. But if I had to pick one cooking show that really takes the Grease, I would pick “Barbecue University.” Just barely ahead of “BBQ with Bobby Flay.” There was a time in my life when all I cared about was Barbecue, but with “BBQ University” I learned so much. Moreover, Thanks to this wonderful internet invention, I have discovered this website called Heyfood.org It sounds like a call from the heart to the God of cuisines and things. I used to have to write to Swedish people and beg them for recipes for peanut chicken, but now, I think this website might be a more positive approach. Good stuff.
