Quick Bites

This week, we're featuring Death by Paula Deen, tears for lube, and our love for things shiny.

• As if people don't eat enough while on a cruise, imagine if that cruise was geared toward food lovers and featured...Paula Deen. Holy crap. Survivors are given a norovirus to help them lose the weight they've gained. We're just going to say this. On the record. We're shocked that woman isn't larger.
• Read this to find out which Chicago food maven sent this via Twitter: "Quote of night (from girl): 'I would rape every guy in that family and use their tears as lube' ... Saturday night crowds are frightening!" Oh, and while you're there, check out this entry that says Spencer and Heidi Pratt may have been snubbed at Alinea.
• Gloji juice. In a lightbulb! We hate or simpleminded love of the packaging. WHY do we love all things shiny?
• House wine + soda water = deliciousness?
• This makes me want to get a vacuum sealer. So we can package your love and store it away for later. Just like asparagus.
• Homemade pasta isn't as difficult as you might think. Of course, what the hell do we know? We haven't worked up the nerve yet (and we'll exclude Chuck because he's making guanciale so he's surely made homemade pasta).
• Shea Gallante is leaving Cru!
• Top Chef Magazine is coming.
• My Vegetable Blog is "teh awesomes." You should go check it out.
