Final stretch...
Four meals in the Toughest Strip Club in LA is just what it sounds like. Honestly, not that much about food here, but I did learn a new cocktail. The ingeniously-named "Adios, Motherfucker", a long island with blue curucao instead of triple sec and 7up instead of coke. According to one of the dancers, its 'all the rage in Paris.' That was the single best thing I read in this mag.
The Breast Giveth- Is a discussion of milk and food that comes from it, with recipes. Forgettable, but there is a cool frozen yogurt version of Key Lime Pie i'd like to try.
Make Yourself Useful- is a kind of unsettling story about a trek through the jungle killing and stuffing exotic birds. Not really for me, but you might find it interesting.
Meat Maids is a nasty photo-essay of some butcher women in Ho Chi Mihn's Chinatown. They must not like ice or refrigerators there.
Amaranth is a short story about a girl in an awful situation taking control of it in a very negative way. A good read, but frankly disturbing. Don't see what it was doing in Lucky Peach, but I read it and I'm glad I did.
Then, a couple of mom's meatloaf recipes. Pretty standard, but I love the way they are written. Real cooks talking to real cooks. You should check this one out. Ignore the photo of the dude in red trunks.
Then a really, really weird article about sexual reproduction from Harold McGhee. A little too technical for me, but it raised some interesting points about the future of genetically modified produce.
And lastly, a bizarre little piece about turtle scrotum tea, which Jamaicans (apparently) drink for enhanced sexual male performance. Should have been on the man side.
That's all babe. Some of it was a little silly, but there was good in there. I can't wait to talk about the next issue.
