In news of the weird, the Fresno Bee does some diligent reporting on a rare burglary involving a sausage and some of Pappy’s Seasoning:
“A burglar who broke into a home just east of Fresno rubbed food seasoning over the body of one of two men as they slept in their rooms and then used an 8-inch sausage to whack the other man on the face and head before running out of the house, Fresno County sheriff’s deputies said Saturday.”

I’d seen a few commercials for ABC’s Pushing Daisies but had no idea what it was about (except for possible some similarity to HBO’s former series about a family of undertakers, Six Feet Under.)
Well, Miguel wrote in to tell me that the show is hosting a free pie tour, where a truck known as the Mobile Pie Hole is going to give out free pie tastings at Ghirardelli Square on Sunday, September 7, from 12pm - 5pm. Not bad, huh? For more information on the tour and the show, check out their Pushing Daisies Tour site. (Note: Getting into the actual Chocolate Festival will set you back $15-20, so make sure you get your money’s worth if you plan on checking it out!)

David wrote in to tell me about a free food event on September 15 in San Francisco’s Cow Hollow district.
From the looks of what he wrote, we’re talking some Tiger Beer samples, free curry samples, and even a little massage. Tiger Beer is from Singapore (home of Raffles Hotel, the Merlion, and the Singapore Sling cocktail), and I think this is a big marketing push to build brand awareness in SF, or the States as a whole.

pairing for spicy foods, is proud to sponsor a month long Curry
