Remember when you were younger and your parents would scold you for playing with your food? Well either the people that designed these pictures are over compensating for not being able to play with their food or got way too much practice when their parents were not paying attention. Either way it makes for some great visual enjoyment. Check out some of these great pictures of funny things you can do with food after the break. |

Porter is a style of beer developed in the 18th century. It has a dark, rich color, originally from the use of highly dried brown malt, roasty malt aroma and hop bitterness. There is a famous story surrounding the evolution of porter, a story without much merit but repeated often nonetheless. In 1802, a writer named John Feltham claimed that a beverage popular in London referred to as "three threads" was made consisting of a third of a pint each of ale, beer and twopenny (the strongest beer, costing tuppence a quart). About 1730, Feltham said, a brewer called Harwood made a single beer called Entire which recreated the flavor of "three threads" or used the “three waters”, and which became known as "porter". It took its name from its popularity with the thousands of street and river porters of London, who drank it to refresh themselves as they carried goods and parcels off and on ships in the Thames and around the streets of England's capital. The microbrew revival of the last twenty years has led to resurgence in the popularity of porter. The style has many varieties and is particularly popular in the United States. The American craft-brewing scene has embraced porter because it provides a perfect platform for those interested in a little experimentation. Additives such as coffee, chocolate, oatmeal can enliven the brew.
This is what the beer gurus over at BeerAdvocate had to say, “Inspired from the now wavering English Porter, the American Porter is the ingenuous creation from that. Thankfully with lots of innovation and originality American brewers have taken this style to a new level. Whether it is highly hopping the brew, using smoked malts, or adding coffee or chocolate to compliment the burnt flavor associated with this style. Some are even barrel aged in Bourbon or whiskey barrels. The hop bitterness range is quite wide but most are balanced. Many are just easy drinking session porters as well.” The beer this week is Beachside Porter, from a mid-size brewer in Florida. After scouring the internet I came to the realization that the brewer’s website doesn’t offer much information other than to say, “As you can see, all of us at Florida Beer are hard at work bringing you the finest beer possible.” Hmmm?

The Mercedes SL 65 AMG Black
There are boxes with four wheels and there are cars. There are cars and there are Mercedes. There are Mercedes then there is the AMG series.
Then there is the AMG Black series. Most of us will only know these cars by their die cast model version but very few have seen actual pictures of the actual SL 65 AMG Black from Mercedes. If you are a Bruce Wayne or the latest billionaire tycoon, then this car is for you. At a recent Ferrari promotional event to launch the new Ferrari California (a sweet car in itself), guess what happened to show up to spoil the party ?
Feast you eyes on some sweet pictures of the SL65 AMG Black after the jump. I wonder if it will make it's way into Grand Turismo ?

The September issue of “Food and Wine”, a special 30th anniversary issue, highlights thirty years of fabulous wine and food. I was struck by a couple of the recipes, some more extensive and technical than others. Thankfully I ran across this simple little treasure, the picture instantly made my mouth salivate. There is nothing I enjoy more than someone special surprising me with an unexpected home cooked meal and this one seems very approachable. Give it a shot, surprise your significant other. Keep in mind, it is always the simple, unexpected gestures that mean the most (well, usually?!) I guarantee they will be beside themselves with excitement and who knows where that will lead. Toss together a small salad, simmer a side of rice pilaf, grab a nice bottle of wine, and light a candle or two. Call it a homerun.
Check out the delicious recipe after the break |

How many times have you considered the following thought but instead choose to say nothing, “I would really like it if you would _________ (insert sex act)? When it comes down to sex, most men and women seal their lips and hold their desires to themselves. Yet it is a known fact among the general population that a healthily sexual relationship is dependent on clear communication between partners. So, what is it that drives the sexual silence endured by so many couples: the complacency of a relationship’s routine, the fear of embarrassment, concerns over judgment, anxiety over hurting or offending a loved one? Give yourself permission to ask for what you want and watch your relationship flourish.
Donald S. Strassberg, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah who specializes in relationship and sexual therapy, speculates on the inadequacies of most couple’s sexual discourse, “Much of sex therapy really turns out to be sex education and communication training. Many people come in and the plumbing works fine, but they’re people who either have not figured out what they really want, or have yet to communicate it to each other … I have worked with couples married for decades, produced kids and grandkids, talked to each other about almost everything one could imagine, but never talked about sex.” Consider this; have you completely informed your partner just how you like it? Or how you want it tonight? And if there are corrections to be made or subtle changes to be adopted are you just laying there and saying nothing? It is a complete disservice to all parties involved.

  Hickory Smoked Tuna Salad
Tuna salad is a tricky dish to get right. Getting the right balance between texture and flavor is something that takes alot of experimentation. Trust me, you haven't had tuna salad until you've tried this concoction. This tuna salad is so good, your taste buds will thank you.
Ingredients:
2 pkgs Star-Kist Hickory Smoked Tuna (5oz size)
If you can't find this, you can add some hickory liquid smoke to some regular tuna.

“Beauty is in the eyes of the beer holder,” Anonymous. Well, I guess that depends on what kind of beer one is looking at and this is summed up pretty well in the videos below. If you like a sweet, fruity beer then this brew is perfectly picked. Craft beer fans can now enjoy the sweet taste of loganberries, elderberries and blackberries any time of the year. The Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company used feedback from their Leinie Lodge members and Berry Weiss lovers everywhere in the decision to make their once-seasonal, Leinenkugel’s Berry Weiss, a year-round offering. “Berry season is just too short in the upper Midwest and Berry Weiss lovers have encouraged us to make Berry Weiss available all year long,” said Jake Leinenkugel. According to our beer friends over at Beer Advocate, “fruit or vegetable beer is a generic form of flavored beer, some breweries actually use real fruit or vegetables, though most use an extract, syrup or processed flavor to give the effect of a particular fruit or vegetable. Usually ales, but with not much ale character to them and the taste is commonly unbalanced. Malt flavor is typically hidden with a low hop bitterness to allow the fruit or vegetable to dominate.”
