I spend an inordinate amount of time online mooching around food sites, usually when I should be doing something more productive. Here is the highlights of this week's wasted hours:
This week I laughed and laughed then pondered the representation of women in advertising after finding http://thehairpin.com/2011/11/women-struggling-to-drink-water
I can't stop humming this; Mario Batali's spaghetti recipe sung to a very jaunty tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVqn6sUEn_0&feature=player_embedded. I will also be making said dish soon as I have learnt it off by heart.
He of the fabulous hair, Jon Bon Jovi, is one of my new food heroes after reading about his community restaurant where you only pay if you can! The menu looks yummy too.

When I am not reading cookbooks I love to damage my psyche with a really good bit of maudlin writing so I was more than a little disturbed to find out that the infestive Miss Emily Dickinson could not have been that austere as she enjoyed dipping her home made coconut cake in a drop of sherry. You can find Emily's recipe here http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/19/emily-dickinson-sweet-genius/
I will post my attempt at her cake asap.
Finally I felt stirrings of my Scottish roots when I found these fab fried foods. I think they even beat a deep fried mars bar. http://ecosalon.com/7-weird-fried-foods-256/
