Chow.com has a collection of no less than FORTY-FIVE recipes for “party-friendly” foods and beverages for your Cinco de Mayo party. (Honestly I suspect that they just included every recipe on their site that had “Mexican” or “Tex-Mex” in the text.) In related news, Serious Eats taste-tests every variety they could find of cheese dip, cheese sauce, and salsa con queso. Apparently Ro*tel-and-Velveeta is still the standard by which all others are measured. The word “gooey” occurs with disturbing frequency.
Marion Nestle's question-of-the-week is “How can we determine our individual caloric, vitamin, carbohydrates, fats and other intake requirements per day based on our own individual weight, height and lifestyle?” … and her answer, distressingly, is “You can't. You will have to be satisfied with estimates based on measurements performed years ago on a small number of study subjects.... Early nutrition scientists got 'volunteers'— in quotes because study subjects often were prisoners — to consume diets depleted in vitamin C, for example. They waited until the subjects began to develop scurvy, a sign of vitamin C deficiency. Then they fed the subjects the smallest amount of vitamin C that would eliminate symptoms.” But she adds a reassuring, “Fortunately, eating a healthy diet takes care of nutrients without your having to give them a thought. Eat your veggies!”
'Tis May! May is National Barbecue Month and National Hamburger Month, there may be some overlap there. It's also National Asparagus Month, so put some of that delicious vegetable on your grill, and also National Strawberry Month and National Salad Month. This Friday, the 4th, is National Orange Juice Day; the day after, being the first Saturday in May, is National Homebrew Day. And is also of course Cinco de Mayo, Spanish for “Yummy Mexican Food Day”!
