Tasty Links

The Goatling is just now recovering from a few weeks of sickness, and in that time, I have accumulated a massive sleep debt.  Seriously, I'm tired.  So tired I'm contemplating another cup of coffee, except that would mean buying ... Starbucks.  And that battle between my exhaustion and my tastebuds is using up the last functioning brain cell left for rational thought, so all I can really do right now is point you to some interesting links.

• Ethnography at a slaughterhouse ... more thoughtful than dogmatic, which is nice.
• I can get behind a recipe when it includes the instructions:  "Keep brushing the butter on until you've used it all up; it may seem like a lot, but that's what gives these pretzels their ethereal taste."
• Cats and dolphins can't taste sweetness?  
• Bummer.  Looks like red meat should only be a sometimes food. 
• I can eat almond butter all day long.
• Why I'll be buying EverClear sometime soon:  to make limoncello. 
• Happy Pi Day!  Celebrate by calculating pi by throwing frozen hot dogs.  Or just eating pie.  That works too. 
• And a couple of things that have nothing to do with food:
• Neil DeGrasse Tyson never fails to make me happy, and his "most astounding fact" about the universe is no exception:  " ...many people feel small because they’re small and the Universe is big – but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars." 
• How did I miss the Figwit phenomenon???  How?
• Even better than a space elevater ... a space train!
