The Foodie Blogroll Publisher Program

Couple days ago I received email from Foodie Blogroll which inform about their new publisher program. Based on their explanation, it's quite attractive compared to others. Using CPM scheme, I think it's good for those who has huge traffic. We just don't have to wait for an uniqeu hit to their ad/banners to get paid. For me, the most interesting about this new publisher program is they offer refferal fees if we could lead other blogger to join this program. Beside they also count hit from non US visitor to our blog. Quite good, isn't it? Well, currently I'm waiting for their approval to my submission, hopefully they'll approved me :) For more details just visit to their publisher page directly.

The most expensive beef ever...

It is believed that the most expensive beef is the Wagyu beef. Originally, the beef are harvested from wagyu cattle which breed in Kobe, Japan. In Kobe, the cattle get special treatments from the farmer. Everiday the cattle are fed with beer, massaged with sake, brushed to set their fur, and fed in grain fedder. Due to the popularity of wagyu/kobe beef in United States and Europe, its make people try to duplicate the beef. They crossbred the domestically-raised wagyu with Angus cattle. They also apply some of Kobe traditiosn, like fed their cattle with beer and massaged with sake. However, there's still differences between the original Kobe beef and "Kobe style" beef. Some said that the "Kobe style" beef have darker meat and a bolder flavor.
