Ideally, we’d like it if you could stay on EndlessSimmer.com 24 hours a day, but we realize some of you feel this perverse need to visit other websites. Luckily, those of you addicted to the facebook thingey can get your ES fix over there as well. Join the Endless Simmer facebook group to connect with other simmerites and share your food experiences, like this amazing food photo album Rooms just posted today.

Even if all you ever known about me is through the blog, you’ll know two absolute truths:
(1) I love eggs and
(2) I don’t follow recipes.
So when Belmontmedia sends me food links, the emails contain:
(1) Egg recipes and
(2) Snarky comments about either the recipe, the blog source or well, anything.
Here are some Belmont endorsed recipes that I must get around to trying:
Baked Eggs with Mushrooms [Serious Eats]
Provencal Fried Egg Soup [Serious Eats]
Paprika-Spiked Home Fries with Poached Egg [Serious Eats]
– We almost cried watching Obama’s first meal on Air Force One……when he said he liked his burger medium-well…who is this guy??? [Nat Geo]
– So, um, he’s a total liar. After making a bold bipartisan move to keep Bush’s White House Chef on staff, Barack and Michelle go ahead and bring their Chicago chef to DC to cook for them anyway. This apparently should please Alice Waters and all those demanding a foodie change in the White House. [Obama Foodorama]
– Speaking of Waters’ budding political activism, looks like our fav chef’lebrity, Anthony Bourdain, has settled on her as his newest enemy, telling her to leave the ‘bamas and the rest of us the fuck alone already: I’ll tell you. Alice Waters annoys the living shit out of me. We’re all in the middle of a recession, like we’re all going to start buying expensive organic food and running to the green market. There’s something very Khmer Rouge about Alice Waters that has become unrealistic…. [DCist]
There’s a slight possibility this twitter account is fake, but if not, Tina Fey just took an early lead in the 2009 Eater of the Year race.
Don’t care what you say, we choose to believe it’s real.
Don’t forget to join Endless Simmer in the twitter-sphere.
ES totally loves the fans. Loves the foodies. Loves the sick fucks that send us crazy shit. Here are some of the links we get in our inbox.

I’ll tell you the long version.
Back in November, I did DAD GANSIE a favor and encouraged ES readers to vote for his bud, Julie, in this pig cooking contest. I started the post by mentioning that my parents know Julie through her piano playing husband, Nicky. Every Friday my parents head over to this tiny hotel and listen to Nicky and crew sing Sinatra and many other songs that only one would know if born before 1947.
Anyway, after I posted about the contest, PR girl Lisa emailed letting me know that I should tell my parents to get their asses down 95 and take them to the only dueling piano bar in the area.
Yes, that’s right. I convinced 80p, Liza, and ES friends Justin and Charley to sing and eat with me (and go all the way out to National Harbor) at Bobby McKey’s.
I had never been to a dueling piano bar, so I really didn’t know what to expect. I’ll let you read my thoughts in the article, but what I didn’t mention is that the show is actually kinda foul: for Margaritaville, the singer guides the audience to scream about blow jobs and infidelity.
Actually, I have a few more things that I didn’t mention, but that you should know.
