DailyDirt: Making Food, Not FUD

There's no shortage of cooking shows to watch -- with chefs yelling at each other on commercial TV or the more amiable chefs on public channels. Food seems to be an endlessly fascinating topic, so here are a few quick links on creative food preparation.

Make your own frozen dinners: 46 meals for under $100. Remember to label everything really well -- because you're probably not going to know what you're eating a couple weeks into your stockpile. [url]
The Momofuku Culinary Lab is apparently a secret place that tries to do a lot of food science. Yummy, yummy food science. [url]
This project needs a bit more science, but if it achieves its goal of creating ice cream clouds and snowfall, Willy Wonka would be proud. It might be more practical to try a sorbet experiment... [url]
To discover more food-related links, check out what's floating around in StumbleUpon. [url]

By the way, StumbleUpon can also recommend some good Techdirt articles, too.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

Stockpile?
A couple of weeks into your stockpile? That's a scary thought. Just a word of caution, freezer burn can affect the taste of the food when prepping it, everyone is so inclined to "nuke" their frozen specialty, which normally kills the flavor. If you are going to nuke 6 week old frozen food, just eat a piece of cardboard and top it off with the tupperware lid, it will probably have more flavor and nutrition..... America, slow down, enjoy life, it's shorter than you think.
