Top 10 Signs of a Bad Cook: Chow
Number three is reassuring because no matter how carefully I cook, a huge mess amasses behind me Pigpen style. In the face of full disclosure (and Number six), I used to really like Rachael Ray.
I’d also add to the list:
11. Be wary if they don’t taste their food as they cook.

Perfect Iced Coffee: The Pioneer Woman
The South has stayed as 90 degree heat or higher for more days than I care to count. I adore an iced coffee but will eventually live on the street if I keep paying $4 a drink. This weekend I start concocting my own.
Cool Beans, How to ace iced coffee: Imbibe magazine
This article inspired the Pioneer Woman and is also worth the read. It compares methods and thoroughly convinced me that I need to be making iced coffee at home.
Is Louisiana Seafood Safe?: Serious Eats
I’m adding this article to the list to see if anyone else has thoughts and opinions, especially those from the area.
There are so many unknowns, which is basically how the article concludes. Oil and dispersant agents are bound to impact the water they were spilled in, but I’m all for eating locally, supporting local economy and still enjoy fresh seafood from the Gulf Coast.
I do find it interesting that the trip was “with” (sponsored?) the Louisiana Seafood Promotion & Marketing Board.

Double ha! Everyone needs to view this video at least once and it’s Friday (Friday, Friday, Friday…).
Hey Gidget! I want to personally thank you for posting the links to the most delicious iced coffee ever. I am an unabashed coffee fan, but could never quite figure out how to get my iced coffee just right. I made Pioneer Woman’s recipe (luckily using “free” Cafe Bustelo coffee a friend gave me because her hubby bought the “wrong” brand) and I can’t quit drinking it. So good.
Posted by Alli B | June 20, 2011, 1:53 pmYou are very welcome! I totally feel you and hadn’t been able to perfect a good iced coffee that didn’t include spending $4 at Starbucks. Trying this recipe was my weekend project and I too am now addicted. It’s so darn easy, affordable and perfect on a sweltering Southern day. Cheers!
