Al Dente Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 There are some real gems in here, such as this vignette about brain burritos: Each of us was only eating as fast as the other guy, and these were pretty big burritos. They probably hadn't sold much brain the last couple of days and were trying to use it up. Once we hit about the two-thirds mark, we just agreed to stop without talking about it much. It felt lame to waste all that brain, though. McSweeney's Food Reviews[sorry if someone else posted about this before] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Another good food-related item from McSweeney's: Superfoods for the Pessimist WalnutsWalnuts contain massive amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, which fight heart disease, and plant sterols, which lower cholesterol, as well as lots of antioxidants. You can lower your risk of cardiovascular disease by 15 percent to 50 percent if you eat a few five times a week. You will still rot in the nursing home, but more slowly and at greater cost to your kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Three Selections from the Masochist's Cookbook Toast pecans at 350 degrees for 5 min. In a large saucepan, add rum, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and zest. Bring to a rolling boil. At this point, you may want to call 911. Remove pants. Bite down on an oven mitt and pour scalding glaze mixture over genitals. Serves: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
