Salmonella and Peanut Butter…Again?

Posted on 1/14/2009 by admin

Maybe this hasn’t made it to your ears, but there’s a little salmonella outbreak happening again, and 42 states are affected. California has had 55 reported cases of this since the holidays, and the AP reports that some food service peanut butter’s been linked to the case. What’s this mean for you? The jars of Skippy you buy from the grocery store should be ok, but if you eat at a cafeteria that makes its own peanut butter cookies, I’d stay away for a little bit.

GrubGirl Debuts New Design

Posted on 1/9/2009 by grubgirl

Yes, folks, you again have been on put on a starvation diet of GrubGirl posts. Why? We spent the last few weeks working with a wonderful designer (Marc Mendell over at Marc’s Design) and themers from Dizzain to roll out a fancy shmancy look for GrubGirl.

Marc had been privy to many of GrubGirl’s jonesin’ attacks for lunch food during 2008, and decided to translate his observations into visual design.

We’re still working out some compatibility kinks with our plugins, but in the meantime, check us out and let us know if there’s any places you’d like to recommend or want us to review! In this economy, everyone needs to grub, or at least think they’re getting value. 🙂

Today’s Urban Dictionary Word

Posted on 12/11/2008 by grubgirl

Another food-related slang term on Urban Dictionary:

nom nom nom: Represents the sound made when someone is eating or chewing something and really enjoying it.

I’d personally spell it to represent a more nasal sound (like nyom nyom nyom) but that could be just me and my personal state of bliss. I’ve been using this phrase since I was a kid and never knew how it was spelled! 😉
