“A shot of whiskey is not going to kill the pain of a toothache,” says Charles Wakefield, D.D.S., director of advanced education in general dentistry at Baylor University medical school. Instead of a whiskey on the rocks,
Dunno about the others, but they are dead wrong on this one.
Not juliana, but RI clam chowder is clear.
Not nearly as pretty as sj, but yup. I loves me some New England style, but RI is tasty and less likely to make me feel like a giant cow.

That's sweet. Completely untrue, but sweet.
As a side note, some Rhode Islanders call Rhode Island clam chowder raunchy chowder, because it looks more like dirty water than broth.
Seeing as Manhattan Clam Chowder was invented in Rhode Island, it wouldn't surprise me if Rhode Island Clam Chowder was invented in Canada.
To help you deal with the aftereffects of the elephants, I offer Fried Coca Cola Balls
"Abel Gonzales, 36, a computer analyst from Dallas, tried about 15 different varieties before coming up with his perfect recipe -- a batter mix made with Coca-Cola syrup, a drizzle of strawberry syrup, and some strawberries. Balls of the batter are then deep-fried, ending up like ping-pong ball sized doughnuts which are then served in a cup, topped with Coca-Cola syrup, whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry on the top."
So this is somewhat different from the fried-Coca-Cola batter thing I posted before....

Thanks, sj. One google hit tried to tell me it was the tomato based one, but I knew that was the New York-y named one. And did I mean "Manhattan," rather than "Long Island" for the tomato-y chowder?

I guess I did, but it looks like it doesn't matter, anyhow.
New England Clam Chowder is the One True Chowder.
Yes, well, it's the one true Clam Chowder. The Manhattan stuff is clam soup. (New England) Fish Chowder is also all kinds of goodness, and I don't even like fish.
I sadly learnt which way to tip my head during a nosebleed after picking the wrong way. Blech.
Today feels a lot better than last night, which is good because better is good (or at least more good) and because I have a costume still to finish.
Top Chef:
Wow, I don't agree with Marisa at all for being so ungracious about a box of freaking lychees. It's not like Otto was sneakily stealing them from the store. He just noted that they weren't paid for, and if it was an issue, someone should have brought it up at the store so it *could* be paid for. And by making a big stupid thing about it, she essentially threw off the entire momentum of her team. Moron.
