Gorgeous Cookies

The detailing in these cookies just rocks my world.  I want to make some cookies decorated with such high detail immediately.  Upcoming holidays: Thanksgiving?  Halloween?  Of course, Christmas.

Beer can chicken "After"

Which came first

Corny but I love eating chicken breast scrambled in egg whites.  It's my morning existentialism in a skillet.

Beer can chicken in progress

These birds take forever to thaw.  This weekend I'll roast my second beer can chicken.  My first turned out yummy; I think I used a Tecate and I was gonna use Bud Light this time but I drank em already.

Last time I rubbed dry rub on the skin but this time I'll smush it up way under the skin onto the meat for mo' flava.  Read a chicken rub recipe online this week that used globs of honey, garlic, lime juice, spices so I think I'll try something like that out. 

I'm Not a Foodie I Just Crush a Lot

Let's get the first post out of the way then.  I titled this blog Still Not A Foodie as reference to Big Pun's song, as well as to comment on my own perspective regarding 'foodies'.  I think the whole foodie thing is a little corny -- people calling themselves foodies, calling others foodies -- because man who the hell isn't a foodie?  Who doesn't like some yummy shit?
Foodie, much like The Sartorialist, makes me think of Jenny Holzer's truism Money Creates Taste.  I.E., anyone who has some extra liquid $$$ sitting around can of course come to appreciate the nuances of aged Prosciutto ham. 
So while my entire food perspective is still under development, I can say today that one of my top goals is to cook and prepare a wide variety of foods and flavors for people, all people -- not only those who can afford it.  Hence, don't fucking call me a foodie.
