I don't believe that the server should be the only person to make the decision, so no "ethical code". However, if it proves to be a constantly raised question then restaurants need to develop a code of conduct that their servers can follow. While it may reflect more poorly on that server's current tip, it's the restaurant taking responsibility for the health and safety of their patrons. And in the case of excessive alcohol, the safety of the community.

SousChef, definitely.

I saw them out in the wild tho never got my hands on one. My favorite Newton memory is from The Simpsons:

"Beat up Martin" = "Eat up Martha."

I've posted pictures of my cleaning nightmare to flickr already to make my friends ridicule me into cleaning it up.

If I won a Roomba, it would be my favorite pet. I'd name it Biscuit.

Fantastic! Love it.

So... Food Network has really given up on the cooking shows, huh? They now have a food mythbusters and a food dirty jobs. Why not just rename themselves Discovery Food?

I've found that while playing a lot of the games I can still squeeze my mic button and my iPod's last played playlist/album starts up. Even for those games that state in their FAQ that personal music can't be played while the game is active.

But it would be nice if that were a default instead of an undocumented feature.

I had it at a DC restaurant drizzled with olive oil atop a bed of prosciutto. I have yet to find a store in the area that sells it, but I'm afraid if I do I might never leave the house again (except to go buy more). It's utterly delightful.

I tend to agree with the muddling turning to murdering drink ingredients. A local bar known for its many types of mojitos (ugh) has a tendency to crush any and all ingredients to within an inch of their life, causing most drinks with muddled items to become salads where you're sipping as much of the drink as you're taking the bits of mint out of your teeth.

A recent food blog entry blamed it all on that Bacardi Mojito commercial with the bartender attempting to drill through the bottom of the glass along with the dance beat.

also useless without the ability to charge up the Apple bluetooth headset.
