Here's more evidence that line cooks are hardcore: watching thru the pass-thru at Chai's last night I saw one of the cooks cleaning out his wok. While it was still over the burner. That would be the super-sized 86 skazillion BTU burner with the flames flaring up over the top edge of the wok. Like I said, hardcore.
In other odds & ends, here's something I stumbled across while trying to track down info at work: Falcon cam, a webcam on a pair of peregrines in Minnesota. It must be nesting season cos not all that much interesting has been happening lately. But it's still pretty cool to see.
In less environmentally-friendly news, here's some wacky Belgians breaking the world record for Diet Coke & Mentos fountains. Like fun. I also love how the pics make them look like some bizzare cult of monks.
