The other day (while watching food network, like we always do) I asked Gabe what an Offal was. (I also asked him if it was Offal or Awful) he looked it up for me and I now I know. But then two days later Ruhlman posts this. You read the man’s book and he reads your mind. Spooky.

Check out my home girls Devra and Aviva – they are the experts on PBS Parents this month.

This right here is bullshit. (Stolen from Rattling the Kettle)

Prescription Drugs found in American Drinking Water. I was hoping for Fen-Phen, but it was “antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones”.

The random picture is a pineapple that my Mom is growing.
I didn’t realise a pineapple plant looked so cool.
Hey, give me back my link you thief!
At my house cussing is REQUIRED. Even the two year old has joined in.
Sadly you’re not gonna find fen-Phen on PBS Parents either, but I’m really happy you told everyone about where Aviva and I can be found this month!
I liked tinylittledivision’s comment about the drinking water thing:
Drugs including anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones have been found in the drinking water of 41 million Americans. 41 million steady-handed, happy, horny Americans. In your face, Canada!

I just about got sick when I heard about the drinking water. Hmmm — poison you kids with tap water or poison the environment with empty plastic water bottles. Maybe it’s time for PunditGirl to start drinking wine.
I just noticed that Ruhlman is on the Blogher ad/randomizer thing. How long has that been going on?
For some reason I can’t get to the drinking water article. Does it say anything about the efficacy of filters?
Offal is awful. Sorry. I couldn’t resist.
About the drinking water…you made me laugh so hard I spit out my coffee!
Thanks, I needed a good laugh! 
I subscribe to Ruhlman’s blog because of Bourdain, but I’ve really started digging him in his own right.
I really wish I could see NoRes tonight.
You’re in trouble when Ian & Claudia join the no-cussing club!
That’s a pineapple?! I have a picture just like that (took it at the local conservatory) and if I’d have known it was a pineapple, I would’ve put that sucker under my coat before leaving.
Screw those assholes!
Fuck that shit…my daughter tells my son that she’s going to whip his ass….I can’t imagine where a two year old would get an idea like that. Can you?
I couldn’t get to the drinking water story either, but I like the comment at the top here….by Cobwebs. It’s GREAT!!
I threw up a little in my mouth when I saw what Offal looks like. It’s terrible. I know, i could have made a funny there, but it’s already been done. I’ll be screwed if my kids join the no cussing club!!! DAMN IT TO HELL!!!
