Just When You Thought They Couldn’t Do Anything More With Chicken…

…they go and do this.

KFC’s new ‘Double Down’ Sandwich is…oh man, it’s…crazy.

It has  plenty of the “Colonel’s Sauce” which is likely mostly mayonnaise, two layers of different kinds of melty cheese AND bacon!!!

Awesome!  Right?

but there is more!

Instead of Buns or bread, they use TWO DEEP FRIED CHICKEN BREASTS!!!

what the????

According to their commercial, it sells for $6.99, and has “so much 100 percent premium chicken we didn’t have room for a bun,”

So, the blogosphere and newsires are full of outrage and shock.  Obesity in America, hedonism, health.  Yes, yes.  I hear ya.  But when you stop and think about it - isn’t this dish just the American red-neckish fast food version of a Cordon Bleu?  So, one could say that to scoff at the Double Down sandwich is being unpatriotic.

Vive la poulet avec du fromage et jambon!!!

New Virus Floating Around

Foods From The New World That Dominate

Oh I could ramble on and on about this topic - but sometimes Less is More.

Here are some foods that were ‘discovered’ from the Mayas and Aztecs when the Euro explorers landed…they brought these foods home and the world has never been the same.  Ask yourself, “what was Italian cuisine like before the New World discoveries?”

Tomatoes - seriously, what did the Italians eat on their pizzas and pastas?  …oh wait, they got the whole pasta idea from the Chinese….hmmm

Corn - or as the indians called it, Maize

Chocolate

Vanilla

Chiles

Avocado

Ho hum…kind of a boring post, but hopefully one that will settle into the back of your brain only to sizzle forth one night as you try to fit into a dinner table full of quasi-intellectualized conversational foodies …of which San Francisco, distressingly, does not have a lack of.

Most Dangerous Celebrities to Search For

According to a report published by McAfee, Jessica Biel is the #1 most dangerous celebrity to search for online…Search terms like “Jessica Biel,” “Jessica Biel downloads,” “Jessica Biel wallpaper,” “Jessica Biel screen savers,” “Jessica Biel photos” and “Jessica Biel videos” ….etc have a 20% chance of landing on a sketchy site likely chock full of adware, viruses and nasty malware.
So if you are a celeb gossip junky or are cruising for the latest celebrity pictures, be careful !!!

Woman Attempts to Slaughter Brett Favre Goat

According to winona daily news - yea, i know - a woman brought her car into a Tires Plus repair shop in Winona and whilst filling out the proper repair forms mentioned, “Oh, by the way, I have a goat in my trunk.”

Swell.  She explained that she planned to butcher it.  Apparently the goat had Favre’s #4 shaved into its side.  Long story short, repair shop calls animal rescue and the cops …et voila!  Woman arrested for animal cruelty and the goat is saved.  nifty.

Stupid goat, getting a Packers fan into trouble. Right? i mean come on!  who’s with me ???
