Breakfast Granola for 8/21/9
Barbecue can turn most any food and any meal into EPIC WIN -- breakfast included -- but why? Because cooking is science, of course.As summer winds to a close, backyard grillers may be looking back on their last barbecue and asking some rather pointed questions: Why was the grilled chicken so dry? Does eating charred meat really cause cancer? Why did Uncle Fred pucker and cringe after each sip of beer?I'll take your word for it, Sara. Now pass me some brisket and ribs before you get two-pieced.
Answers to these posers, and others, come courtesy of the American Chemical Society, which as part of its semiannual meeting staged a chemistry-themed barbecue reception August 17 for reporters and other guests. A good time was had by all — even, remarkably, by those who tried the barbecued tofu.
“You can take any food you want and cook it on a grill,” said Sara Risch, a food chemist and consultant based in East Lansing, Mich. “Even vegetables.”

Kill or be killed
As someone who encountered unchained dogs during walks home from school, I've always sworn an overwhelming and unequivocal reply to dog attack. Mobb Deep tells it best: "You might kill me, but you're comin' wit' me."LEXINGTON, Ga. — Sherry Schweder worried about a group of mixed-breed dogs she saw wandering near her home, a pack that authorities say mauled her and her husband to death along a rural road in northeast Georgia.Sorry Adam, but the difference is that you're not about to strangle some lightning and live. Better yet, pre-emptive pest control.
The 65-year-old animal lover was taking an evening stroll last week when she was attacked by the feral dogs, authorities believe. Her husband, Lothar Schweder, a retired professor, fell victim to the pack when he went out looking for her.
A shredded piece of shirt, some strands of hair and bloodstained dirt were all that remained Tuesday where the couple was killed. Paramedics who came to the grisly scene Saturday morning found the suspected attackers standing guard. While it's unclear exactly what happened because there were no witnesses, officials have rounded up 16 dogs they believe were involved.
Schweder had told one of her sons that no one seemed to be caring for the dogs, said Jim Fullington, special agent for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Experts say the attack is extremely rare — so rare "you are more likely to be killed by a bolt of lightning than by a dog," said Adam Goldfarb, a spokesman for the Humane Society of the United States.

Excuse me while I club Jessica Simpson..
...because Colt Brennan is barely in the NFL and he doesn't need to emulate anything Tony Romo does, or has done.On Friday, word started sweeping through the Internet that Simpson, fresh off a relationship with Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, has officially moved on and is dating Redskins quarterback Colt Brennan. The news hit celebrity blogs, sports blogs and even Hawaiian television.Found via Hollywood Tuna on SI.com, then on WaPo.
[....]
So what's the truth? Should Redskins fans worry about a Jessica Simpson curse spoiling their team's chances?
"My life coach Chris Cooley said I should neither confirm nor deny it," Brennan said after Saturday morning's practice.
[....]
He thinks it might be a prank that originated in Romo's camp. "If it's Tony Romo who did that, it's absolutely hilarious," Brennan said. "And touche, Tony Romo."
Camo Bentley FAIL
FMD Crankmonkey located this toxic ore, and I'm placing it on display as an exemplar. Anyone who puts such a colorscheme on a perfectly good Bentley Continental GT AND parks across two spots deserves every ATGM shot at them.

Opportunity passes Jeff by as 1,224-pound cupcake sets record as world's largest:
MANCHESTER, N.H.—A 1,224-pound triple vanilla cupcake with pink frosting has set a record as the world's largest.
The sugary behemoth was unveiled Saturday at the Woodward Dream Cruise classic cars event in Royal Oak, Mich.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to certify the cupcake's girth. It was more than eight times the size of the previous record holder.
The colossal cupcake took 12 hours to bake and included 800 eggs and 200 pounds each of sugar and flour.
Slices of the cupcake were served in exchange for donations to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer organization.
Ryan Abood, owner of New Hampshire-based Gourmetgiftbaskets.com who made the cupcake, told the Detroit Free Press that it clocked in at an estimated 2 million calories.
