A recently ex-employee of Whole Foods sent out a 3,200-word email to the entire company "explaining" why he quit. He's sort of an ass, but it sure is amusing.

SNACK TIME: Seafood Pasta a la Alison, an epic “I quit” to Whole Foods, Snape takes on Triple D, a guide to hosting a cheese tasting, and chef photos 101

- Local blogger à la Alison has posted a tasty recipe for seafood pasta with a garlic white wine sauce. The recipe sounds delicious, but the photos are what make the post. I warn you, don’t read while hungry. It has dangerous consequences (like realizing you’'e still at work and can’t have dinner until eight hours from now and oh my gosh I’m so hungry right now).

- Everyone has had at least one awful job. You’re lying if you say you haven't. And all you really want is to go out with a bang — kinda like this guy. A recently ex-employee of Whole Foods sent out a 3,200-word email to the entire company "explaining" why he quit. He’s sort of an ass, calling out individual employees, but it sure is amusing.

- It would be a crime for me to not share at least one Harry Potter food post. There have been a few foodies going around detailing Harry Potter sweets and cocktails, but none so exciting as this: It's Guy Fieri at Hogwarts. He’s there to observe as Snape makes a batch of Polyjuice Potion. But watch out, Guy — Snape's always got something up his magical sleeve …
 
- I'm a terrible host. I don’t know how to amuse people or what to feed them. I get worried that whatever is on their plates is not good enough. So throwing a cheese tasting would pretty much scare the crap out of me. If you’re the same way, here’s a step-by-step instruction manual from Madame Fromage that should make your dairy-queen life a little easier.

- Here's how to pose like a chef. I've already tried the Dude Brood and the Criss Cross. I look awesome.
