Sofa, so good.
I watched the TLC specail on the sofa eater. Very strange.
TLC has some weird 'documentaries' going on lately.
Champagne in cans is a great idea, but not a new one - Coppola Vineyards has had their Sofia champagne* in single serving cans for a while now. And it's awesome.
*OK, sparkling wine, not true champagne, but same idea.
I wish people would do more to go after food fraud. It's pretty darn rampant
So sad about brussels sprouts. They are my favorite vegetable (well, tied with asparagus and artichokes).
I just fell in love with brussels sprouts about a month ago--fresh off the stalk and roasted with salt, pepper and olive oil. Completely amazing and nothing like the smelly, squishy little brains my mother used to boil for us. Yuck.
