Once again here’s your round up of all things food last week:

• Stack Em - A great and easy recipe for thin pancakes. I also like the fact that they call them ‘thin pancakes’ and not ‘crepes’ to keep the stink of pretentiousness out of it all. [via Delicious Days]
• The Meat Market of Mizzou - Firstly this page gives you a general comparison price for different cuts of meat, and that’s always useful. Second it gives you some good meat info on the cuts. It’s always hard to imagine how a T-bone fits into a cow.
• Food Sculptures - I don’t know why but I love these.
• The overdue Spoon Bowl - Finally progress in the department of not letting your spoon touch anything. How long can it be until we have teleporters? [via BoingBoing]
• Cooking by Numbers and Drinksmixer - The most useful thing about the internet is the ability to search recipes by ingredient. Now I can find a recipe to use up that pineapple that’s been mocking me. He thinks I don’t have the stones to eat him.
• Drink Cheap - This s a mostly useless article on bringing down your booze bill. “Try using premium brands instead of super premium.” Oh really? Ya think? But it has 2 good points about 1) cocktails and 2) rum. [via Serious Eats]
• Creme Brulee - No one ever makes this stuff but the idea of bringing a propane torch to the dinner table gets a thumbs up from me every time.
• Omelette in a sack - First it’s not an omelette and second it’s disgusting. It’s throwing random crap in an egg and poaching it for far too long. And I love how they suggest serving it with “fresh fruit and coffee cake.” Yes we love our civilized, genteel breakfasts that are topped off with fucking egg logs.

Here are some links to what I thought were the best posts last week in the food blogosphere:

• The Chicken Enchiladas over at Anne’s Food. A lot of her stuff is too ambitious for me but this one is right up my ally. If you find yourself curious but intimidated just remember that enchiladas are nothing more than a Mexican casserole.
• Technically this Cake Recipe from The Smitten Kitchen is this week but I’m including it anyways. I love anyone who tells me I can play around and substitute ingrediants because I hate having to run to the store for the one God-forsaken, scarce, impossible ingredient that I’m never going to use again. Bastards.
• Amy Sherman gives us 5 Tips For Quick Home Meals over at Glamdish. I particularly apreciate the idea of having your own spice rub ready. If you’re eating a lot of meat this can save you a lot of time. And if you’re not eating a lot of meat then what the hell is wrong with you?
• Epicurious dropped this great Potato Bacon Hash recipe, which is no big deal by itself but it’s right underneath their “Perfect Passover” ad and that makes my day.
• Finally I was introduced to this great site www.foodbuzz.com . It’s a great mashup of recipes, blogs and reviews. It might be a little too facebook but I really like that you can localize it. I’m getting sick of reading reviews of restaurants in New York and San Fransisco. Like the rest of us are a bunch of pig farmers and carnival workers who never bought food that didn’t come on a stick.
