Finally Some Food

The first few posts here have been exclusively about baseball, but it's high time to bring food into the equation. Serious Eats and its burger cousin A Hamburger Today are great sites for restaurant information, recipes, new products, and sometimes some really wacky stuff.

Like the link to Skittles-infused vodka. I'm a big fan of infusing vodkas with fresh fruit - black plums totally rock vodka like the fo-shizzle: two pounds of ripe black plums, pitted and quartered in a liter of vodka, sealed in a lockable mason jar, and tucked away in a cool dark place for six to eight weeks. I've also made grapefruit (good), mango (not so good), and pomegranate (eh), but Skittles? Really? Seems like a waste of good vodka, since all you'd really be tasting is the super sweet rainbow of (artificial) fruit flavors. And there are plenty of overly sweet schnapps already on the market, ready for your esophagus to do its reverse technicolor yawn when you've had too much. Too graphic? Know when to say when.

Anyways, wander through those sites, and see what whets your appetite . . .
