It has come to my attention (via Sarcasmo's Corner) that Alton Brown of Good Eats keeps a weblog on his site! Hot dog! In addition, a future episode will feature toast. Many of you may already know that toast is one of my top ten favorite foods. Yum!
Meanwhile, I may as well share my other food obsession: loose tea. Now, I love tea in general, especially those that answer to the names Earl Grey, English Breakfast and Irish Blend. But, tea gets even better when you forgo the little paper baggie and strain it yourself. Of course, unsightly broken leaf parts can sometimes slip through. Sometimes I find this highly disturbing, and need to use the screened tea infuser.
For a little over a year now, I've been coveting a travel mug/tea press. Too good to be true! Also, too expensive for a travel mug...they give those things away!
Anyway, I was reading the most recent issue of Gourmet and they said that loose tea was "out" and sweet tea was "in" for 2004. I'm distressed! Of course, they also said that goat was "in." We'll see.
