Turdcucken Arrives in Mail

There will definitely be a turducken in my future. More to come...

Name your favorite scent.

We're getting close to the season of olfactory scentations - sugar cookies baking, roasting poultry, cake, ham, mulled cidar, etc.

What's your favorite scent?

My absolute favorite scent would probably be a bai lan (michelia alba) flower, though a lei of frangipani gives that a good run for the money. I also love Evelyn and Crabtree's Nantucket Briar - a very simple sweet scent that's perfect all year around.

Should Flambee be banned?

Is flambee too dangerous for residential dwellings? Should we prevent our neighbors from practicing this potentially dangerous form of cooking? Should we sue TV cooks for demonstrating flambee techniques to stop them?
