There you all go again, ruining both perfectly good berries and perfectly good alcohol, when you could just be sipping ice cold vodka on the rocks while digging into a bowl of fresh strawberries...  |

Why don't you just throw some brussel sprouts in there while you're at it?! |

1 oz strawberries 1 tsp icing sugar, less if the strawberries are sweeter.. 1/2 oz strawberry schnapps (If you have it) 1 oz light rum 1 oz lime juice or lemon, this is "to taste", you may find it a bit strong at 1 0z per serving?... Put ALL in a blender, add handful of ice, mush, pour in tall glass, drink, repeat, fall over. If you cant get Strawberry Schnapps, any other strong strawberry flavour will do, or try soaking the strawberries in light Vodka overnight beforehand. You can just leave it out, or use a NON alcoholic strawberry flavouring. Icing sugar? Would that equivalent to Powdered (Confectioner's) Sugar? After some internet work, its the same thing. |

Beets have to receive at least an honorable mention in the contest for worst vegetable. Not only does it taste horrible, but it permanantly stains anything it gets near... |

Break it before it's cooked. The half with the tip on it is the half that's edible.

Contrary to popular belief, bacon does NOT make everything better. Not unless your tastebuds are so wasted that you can't taste anything but salt. For instance, putting raw bacon strips on top of the other toppings on a pizza before putting it in the oven? HUGE mistake, unless your other toppings are three different kinds of chili peppers! The bacon overpowers the taste of everything else, and on top of that, it rarely gets cooked through before the rest of the pizza is done, so you either end up with everything else done and soggy, half-cooked, fat-dripping, chewy bacon, or bacon that's done and a pizza crust that tastes like charcoal. If you want to put bacon on pizza, use pre-cooked bacon bits and only give the pizza a light sprinkle with it. If you overdo it, you might as well save yourself the other toppings entirely, because you won't be able to taste them anyway. And then there's all the weirdness surrounding bacon. Bacon soda, bacon ice cream, bacon smoothie. I tried vanilla ice cream with bacon bits on a dare. Let's just say sweet and creamy doesn't go well with salty and crunchy. |

Just try it. The taste of asparagus mixed with the taste of bacon produces a taste that you can't match by mixing the bacon with anything else. I'm not a big asparagus fan, but I'll gladly eat this. |
