On Weiner & Wieners

So has all this Weiner's teenie weenie talk gotten anyone one else all hot and bothered?

For a hot dog, that is? I could definitely go for a nice grilled one right about now. It's a shame city living makes it so hard to grill.

I've found myself wondering if anyone out there in the wide world of wieners is already capitalizing somehow on the trials and tribulations of the hapless congressman. Will Crif Dogs come out with "The Anthony" or something? I totally would if I were in the sausage biz.

Maybe the Weiner himself will open a sausage joint if his political career can't be salvaged?

Cupcakes of Terror?

NYMag: MI6 Hackers Replace Bomb Recipe With Cupcake Recipe in Al Qaeda Magazine

Take that, evildoers! Buttercream-bombs away!!!

...Man, there are so many directions to go with this one. A few:

• Well, guess I'm not the only one who thinks cupcakes are da bomb! (Ha ha ha.)

•  Isn't it awesome that cupcakes are an actual, effective anti-terror tool?!

• I always knew cake was the way to achieve world peace.

• I'm pretty sure that we don't have to worry about any terrorist who would go ahead and follow the "bomb" recipe after taking a gander at the ingredients.

• So, is my 2am baking habit going to be considered "suspicious activity" now?

Hmm... so I didn't even end up having a pre-rapture dessert after my pre-rapture dinner on Friday. Shame on me! I could have died without a last embrace of chocolate on my lips. I did have a nice sushi dinner with my main squeeze, at least.

What a morbid subject, but it really is fascinating to try and decide what my last meal would be. I think I'd die before I could decide. I'm terribly indecisive. This may sound really jaded, but I don't even know if I've yet eaten anything "worthy" of being my last meal. I'm not hesitant or scared of dying, I don't feel my life has been boring or that I haven't experienced enough. However, when it comes down to the idea of having to eat only one more meal I start to feel my life hasn't truly begun. Weird, huh? I suppose it's all in the details. If we look at any dish too closely then it seems it could use another dash of salt or pepper, right?

Today, post-rapture, I've been a busy culinary beaver. I cooked up some pasta topped with chicken sausages and a plum tomato sauce for dinner. Then, I steamed some chorizo tamales for mañana. Been on a real Mexican comfort food jaunt recently.

What cuisine are you into at the moment?

Last full day on earth? What the eff to eat for dinner!? Too many choices. I think I'd go for something light(ish) and leave plenty of space for dessert. You?
