    LOBSTERS DON'T SCREAM--EXCEPT ONLINE

    CommentPost a Comment |

    This Wednesday, 8/10, I'll be hosting an all-day food trivia challenge for our new book, LOBSTERS SCREAM WHEN YOU BOIL THEM AND 100 OTHER MYTHS ABOUT FOOD AND COOKING.

    OK, before that, first things first. Yes, that's the weather vane on our garage. Yes, it's a pig. No, we don't keep kosher. (Thanks to Rich Rosenfeld for this image.)

    Our food trivia challenge should be lots of fun with questions galore. Here's how you can play along:

    1. Watch for the hashtag #lobstersscream on twitter. You'll find the questions there.
    2. Or check out my facebook page. I'll be posting most of the stuff there, too, as the day progresses.

    Answer up, follow along, retweet, post, offer your assessments, disagree, and be prepared to laugh!

    If you want to know the answers in advance, you'll need the cheat sheet. A. k. a., the book. Which you can find by clicking on this pic:
