Nauseating

Either my senses have recently become over-sensitive (maybe I’m pregnant) or some of the food I bought at the Stop-n-Shop is just plain disgusting. I bought a dozen ears of corn that smelled like fish and a head of garlic that smells like hot dogs. GROSS. very very gross. Straight from the grocery store to the home to the garbage can. I hate wasting food, but this stuff deserves an exception. Blech.

I’m usually pretty attentive when I select produce, but I was obviously in a rush with these selections. This store often has decent produce, especially given the fact that it is a major chain supermarket. These little stinkers made it past several lines of defenses to infiltrate this kitchen. Au revoir, except I hope I don’t see you again, smellies.

Got a question about cooking? Want to be on the Food Network?

A while back I made a cooking show that caught the attention of Darin Bresnitz, who works for the Food Network. While I didn’t end up with my own cooking show (still holding out hope on that one!), I did make a new internet friend!

Darin is producing segments for a show on food network called “Ask Aida”.  The idea is to get people to submit questions (and entertaining video questions) about what’s got them stumped in the kitchen.  Sounds like a fun idea. Check out the official word on the show from Darin (scroll down to comments) and find out how to submit your own video to the Food Network.
