Two Important Things

You: "Holy crap, Matt's posting??? Is the world ending? Has the LHC destroyed the earth? Nope. Just thought I had to post some important stuff on a Saturday evening.

First, if you don't watch Anthony Bourdain on the Travel Channel, you really should. Usually, he just travels around and eats weird local stuff and talks about getting drunk. His last episode, however, he got some of his chef buddies to put together clips on how to make stuff that every American should know how to make - burgers, steak, fries, lobster, roasted chicken... easy stuff. Anyway, I tried the french fries technique described by the head chef @ Les Halles in NYC. Fanf*#&ingtastic. It does require you have a deep frier, but holy crap, they're great. We did half regular potatoes and half sweet potatoes. Their timing and temperatures are pretty much spot on, even given the difference between restaurant-grade and home-cooking equipment. ArcApex has a lot of Bourdain's episodes on his/her YouTube channel, and if you go HERE and fast forward to about the 1:35 mark, you'll get the skinny on making your own fries. I cannot recommend it enough.

Second, EthnicMike's suspicions have been confirmed. Steve is part Zombie and therefore loves brains. BBBBRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIINNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! Don't believe me???

If you really care, they're just mashed up strawberries. But he's in training...
