Revolutionary !!!!!!!!

This time it is about something in French, but definitively something amazingly revolutionary that I needed to share!!! A genius who invented this product! I want one ... not 100!
What am I talking about? A product to download wine via USB !!!! Great! My only concern is .. will it have a bit of a metallic flavor added to it because of the downloading? Maybe ...

... maybe it is all a nicely constructed joke, but funny nevertheless.

A video of the product can be found here, where you can (and I suggest you to try) order one.

Grocery Store Wars

I know I know ... lately I seem not to post may recipes, but time is little and I promise next post will be a recipe hoping that my experiments on sunday will work out fine.
But before then ... I had to share this link to one of te funniest movie I have seen lately. A group advocating organic food has cerated this "Grocery Store Wars" describing the Organic Revolution for the way of the Farm. Sounds familiar ... almost like Star Wars .... of course!!
Thanks to Francis Boulard (who btw makes great champagne and has a blog) for the link and sorry (this time) for the Italians since it is all in English. Look at it is hilarious!!!

The video in various formats plus an explanation can be found here.

Pierangelini & La Pasta al Pomodoro

Yes yes this is a recipe I did and blogged before (see here) but a recipe is not the goal of this post! My apologies for who can't read italian as they won't enjoy the links, but I could not resist in this debate over what guides and TV keep indicating as the best Italian Chef ... Fulvio Pierangelini of the Gambero Rosso.

Well, if you can read italian, you can enjoy the latest debates on this obviously arrogant (but not in the way of Gordon Ramsey ... at least he is fun to watch) that can be found here and here. But what is so funny ... well, I got to find a video (again in Italian ... sorry) where he spends 5 minutes debating why he has charged the equivalent of 25 euros few years ago (so more like 50 today) for a course of pasta in tomato sauce (count on 3 euros at home with best ingredients) and how he was upset people ordered it for kids. Sorry ... but is this guy an idiot?!?! I mean watch the video (here) and, then, you will understand what I mean. Sure I won't be missing not going to his place.

So next time, feel free to charge your friends or tell them that a dish like the one above is worth more than 50 euros in a starred restaurant. Then, note how many are not laughing!

PS: Of course, many won't agree.
