• County Fair Food!
  "How do you make sloppy joe on a stick? Oh never mind, I probably don't want to know." —maggiesara


• Do You Have Any Great Ideas for Using Mushrooms?
  JEP asked, and lots of you have answered, including Tom Steele with a great-looking recipe for Oyster-Stuffed Mushrooms. Thanks, Tom!


• What Seemingly Basic Ingredient Can You Simply Not Bear?
  Green bell peppers, you've been voted off the island by the Serious Eats community. I sometimes share seyo's thoughts on balsamic vinegar: "It's just boring and over used. I'm not talking about the syrupy aged really good stuff, I'm talking about your run of the mill balsamic vinegar that people splash so liberally on everything."


• Do You Know Where Your Meat Really Comes From?
  An interesting discussion on meat production and the ethics and sustainability behind it is going on here. If only we could all live like hammondcheese: "The majority of our red meat comes from the woods approx 7 miles from our home. My husband is an avid hunter and we are able to live off venison for the majority of the year...."


• My 'Local' List
  This thread, submitted by akprincess72 hasn't gotten any play yet. I'm surprised! C'mon, folks. Nobody wants to list their go-to mom-and-pop places? I'm heading in there now to submit my list.


• And, as always, lots of great cooking topics. This week, we've got advice on preparing bananas, making great homemade mayo, honey cake for Rosh Hashanah, and, maybe for your Labor Day picnic, potato salad mix-ins.
