This much actual food hasn't appeared in Mickey D's since the fifties.

Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.

-- McDonald's and three Olympian friends debuted two "Real Fruit Smoothies" in Strawberry Banana and Wild Berry in Vancouver this month. Slashfood has the deets on when the frozen treats will appear in the U.S.

-- Philadelphia was slapped on its wind-chilled cheeks this past week with record temps and snowfall. Joy Manning of Serious Eats and Oyster Evangelist reveals her eating survival guide.

-- Mark Bittman of NY Times takes us step by step through a simple dish with a high-maintenance reputation, aka polenta, for another versatile meal idea that helps combat the effects of tundra-like weather.

-- Martha Stewart Sirius XM radio goes pornographic with new show hosts Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert, says Grub Street New York. Warning to milquetoast Martha fans: “Turn and Burn” may evoke Howard Stern.

-- Speaking of food porn, an orgy may commence involving Foobooz, Phoodie.info and Grub Street Philly over thoughts of Ann Suk Miller's Korean tacos at Meritage.
