Chris, thanks for the article. Ramsey is so dead-on with that. Not sure if they should be fined - that seems steep. But calling them out for using out of season ingredients should bring attention to the whole idea of “carbon footprints” that we talked about a few episodes ago. Awesome stuff - I’ll bring this up on the next show. Thanks again, dude - and GO PENS!!

Thanks again for listening, Mr. Whiskey. Still loving the latest Brain Gravy. Cannot wait to hear more of that, and see what new art you have to share.

Cheers! Thanks again to all of you for listening, and commenting. It means a lot to me.

Hey Phil,

Check out the BBC website. Article talkign about Gordon Ramsay wanting places serving non-seasonal fruits and veggies to be fined. Good message, back spokesperson.

Another entertaining show! Your the Paula Deen rant (you spelled her name Dean) was spot on my good friend. She looks like a deer caught in headlights whenever they take her picture, and her recipes, while wholesome and home cooked, are deadly. Bacon wrapped this, and deep fried that.

Great show, Phil. The top chef clip with the bleeped F words was very funny. I know why they curse so much though. They have to sit around for hours and hours doing nothing half the time. That’s what you don’t see. So they’re super pissed off from that. Throw in the fact that they are drinking up a blue streak, also from being bored. Who wouldn’t curse then?

You guys crack me up. We have a comment war going on - another first for My Life as a Foodie. I think if Rick reminisced about 1/3 of the shows he’s done, it would blow up my blog. And no, Groucho. I’ve only heard cursing on BFH once. Either they show more constraint than we do, or they’re simply good editors. Either way, check out Big Foamy Head and The Beer Report. Brewcasting at it’s absolute finest.

Thanks Rick for your input on the photography. It’s not great photography, but I’m doing my best when I’m on location. Sometimes the light is better than other times. Sorry you had a bad experience with Thai food. I guess it all depends on what you order.

Groucho, I hope it didn’t sound like I was actually making a joke that farmers are poor. It’s not a joke, and I take farming seriously. I know many farmers - some do well, and some are struggling. Farming is not something you get into to make big money, especially in this day and age. With the present state of things, Farming is slowly being killed in this country - definitely in my state. Growers here are being forced to compete with those from other countries (especially the Avocado growers, who are being out bid as much as 3 to 1 by Mexican growers) and their water rations have been cut by 1/3. It’s no joke.

Bubby, that picture of the ham is AWESOME!!! I want it. Please allow me to use that image on this site. I have a sneaking suspicion I will rant on Paula Deen (spelling corrected) at least one more time before this year is up. Glad you enjoyed the bleeping segment as much as I did. I say just curse and get it over with.

And Paul, thanks for your comments on the Vegan/Thai food situation. I’m not 100% on all of the rules and details that go into what defines a vegan or vegetarian diet. That’s probably why I’ve never tried to be one. I have a hard enough time trying to balance my meals without having to worry about whether or not I can eat something with fish or shrimp paste in it. All I know is that if it tastes good, I’m going to eat it.

Cheers everyone. Thanks for your comments, and for listening.

Thanks d00d… With your reams of shows… You could have a hefty list! Do you guys cus at all?

Phil… One thing I forgot to mention… We don’t make “poor” farmer jokes anymore… If you are a poor farmer in these parts… You are doing something terribly wrong! 5 years ago my neighbor was jury-rigging the stalk roller on the corn “head” of his combine. This year… He has a new Caterpillar tractor.

We all live to serve the rich farmers in these parts!
