Little Miss Muffet

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
She took a pic of her meal, 
And posted with zeal,
While the waiter mumbled “Oy vey.” 

This is why I’m careful to only take a couple pictures of my food and then hide the camera before anyone really notices. :P

Although to be fair, there have been a few times where a waiter or chef has seen me take pictures of the food and has sent over more food to try…. or come over to tell me more about the restaurant, etc.

love getting to talk to people who wouldn’t have otherwise even thought to say hi. I’m okay with it being because they want a good review, because hey, in 3 years when I finally get caught up, I might remember some of those details and give them that great review after all! 

Will they ever share their innermost secret? (Wordless Wednesday)

For years they rode the same train on their daily commute, never knowing they also shared the same inner secret.

Allergen sensor to revolutionize the way we eat?

Allergen detector

I doubt it, but it could at least help, right?

This little “allergen detector” is supposed to test for milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy. Those are the top 8 items that make up 90% of all food allergies.

“The Nose” is just a concept at this point and isn’t actually developed yet. I can’t help but wonder how many people would actually use it, though. Most of those allergies are ones that can be life threatening.
Are you willing to risk using a handheld device to tell you if your chef dipped the tomato soup ladel in the seafood chowder one first, if you’re deathly allergic to shrimp? Probably not. Because if all it takes is a trace, do you really think a sensor is going to pick up such a minute amount? Eh. Maybe one day.
