Oh holy balls, NoSmo. That sounds HORRIBLE. I know the pain of breaking a tooth in half. The excruciating moment of "oh my god, why does the universe hate me so much". I heard that you can swish your mouth with brandy to numb the pain. I didn't realise that you're meant to /spit out/ the brandy after swishing. I'm still not sure how I managed to get home on the subway.

God, I am so glad both of my parents had really strong teeth (dad didn't have a cavity until he was in his thirties). I've only ever had a bad chip that only exposed enough tooth guts to make it sensitive to cold. The thought of an actual cracked tooth in my mouth makes me feel weird in a real bad way. Oh, and I still don't have any fillings at 26, suck it, weak-enameled losers.

I'll drink it when it's been gently stirred with some ice and a dash of bitters, or gently stirred with some ice and a friendly reminder that vermouth exists on this planet. For some reason, that brandy hit me and hard. I don't know why, aside from my body was latching onto the first thing that I'd thrown down the hatch in a couple of hours.

Sales rep gave me liquor for screwing up an order and sending me 50 goddamn frozen tenderloins. It wasn't really a huge deal, but I specified fresh, so he shows up, drops off a bottle of Crown, Cointreau, St. Germaine, a 12oz can of truffle shavings(They're chinese, but he probably doesn't know), and a $50 gift card to Uchi. I'm still not going to order anything from him for 2 weeks.

Man, I wish our vendors would do poo poo like that. Dude accidentally charged us for an omelet pan I was looking at in the store but didn't buy and all we got was a credit on our next order.

Job-update... They're fighting back on this - they're now drawing up papers that will keep me at work while they buy themselves respite to find me a position that I want, postponing my severance months until that happens... I am kinda good with it, since it means more money for me (and there will be a clause that states that I can leave with moments notice, sparking the severance from that point on - basically double pay from when I get another job). At the other hand it impaires my golden freedom, but I have cut down my job stuff to 40hrs effected immideately - which hands me a lot of freedom back! Things are confusing like hell right now with them!

Saturday afternoon, no pressing obligations, decided to braise a meat. Doing something like this: http://mobile.seriouseats.com/2012/04/better-than-chipotles-beef-barbacoa-tacos.html I also made my own chili powder for the first time, with excellent results. I am happy to live in an area heavily populated by Mexicans...there are so many dried chiles at the local grocery store...  (lots of other whole/dried stuff as well, like this awesome whole oregano I got that triples in size as soon as it gets moist)I ended up using ancho, mulato, and negro. I wanted it to be on the mild side, and it has a pleasant sweet, smoky flavor.

Does anyone know what the incubation period is for most common types of food poisoning? My wife and I have both been struck down, and I am curious to pinpoint what exactly did it...

It's at least my understanding that very short incubation periods on the order of hours occur for poisoning from bacterial or endogenic toxins, while it's more on the order of a day or more for actual viral or bacterial infections. I ate a piece of spoilt meat (yes, yes, I'm dumb) a couple of years ago and the symptoms set in less than three hours later. I'm suspecting toxin poisoning has a much shorter illness as well, compared to poisoning due to ingested pathogens, but I've never seen this verified.

I've heard a max of 8 hours, but commonly as little as 2. Depends on the type though. Viral can take up to a couple of days, depending on the virus, but I guess you're not talking about that kind. If it is a question of poor hygiene, (poo in your food), then at max the 8hrs, depending on your poo resistance.

HH, hate to say it but you're wrong.  I just suffered through a day long course on this to renew my food safety manager certification, so this stuff is fresh in my mind. Sjurygg has it mostly right. "food poisoning" could be any number of bacteria, viruses, toxins or chemical contaminants. Some won't hit you for weeks, but most of the big bad ones will show up 1-7 days after eating the contaminated food. Here's a PDF with the "big five" most common foodborne illnesses in the US: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/hd/food/foodpdf/bigfive-english.pdf I would add Vibrio to that list if you're eaten raw shellfish lately. What the PDF doesn't stress enough is that a lot of these illnesses are transmitted through vegetables just as often as meat or dairy. Also, you're almost as likely to get contaminated food from a grocery store as a restaurant. If you've had anything catered lately, that's a red flag. As far as trying to figure out what made you guys sick, look at the usual suspects (meat and fish that might not have been cooked properly, leftovers that weren't cooled and reheated properly, anything raw) but also look out for sprouts, pre-cut vegetables (esp. melons) and processed/packaged fresh food from the grocery store. It should go without saying that you should stay home until you feel better- some of these illnesses (esp. norovirus) are insanely infectious and are deadly to at-risk populations. Go to the doctor if you can afford it

And if you tell one of them they're homophobic and ignorant and also say you think chew is gross, then it riles them the hell up. And apparently "you wear skinny jeans!" is some huge insult.

Today I yelled at a "friend" on Facebook who has turned into a crazy militant vegan and posted something to the effect of "Stop saying you're an animal lover if you still eat animals!!!" I can't give you the exact quote anymore because I unfriended that annoying bitch tout de suite but it sure was satisfying. for clarity: dino you're an awesome vegan, this person liked to tell everyone else how horrible they were for not making the same life choices they did Crusty Nutsack fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Jan 13, 2013 |

I'd like to agree with that, but based on the volume of hatred/threats the girlfriend received when she started using some dairy in her blog, I'm not so sure about that. That said, the more militant ones don't really seem to be very good cooks, or even really enjoy food, they just like being righteously angry and bullying people online. Crusty Nutsack posted:for clarity: dino you're an awesome vegan, this person liked to tell everyone else how horrible they were for not making the same life choices they did Yeah, this is really the crux of it: the militant folks don't even see it as "making life choices", they see it as an ongoing struggle to force The One True Way upon all others. --- Vietnamese Five-Spice is the flavor of the month in my house, and the woman just made a huge pot of vegan stew with daikon, taters, carrots and chickpeas, flavored with Five-Spice and some gochujang for umami. It's fantastic, a really lovely winter dish.
