Posted by Emily Koh, February 8, 2008

The useful, thoughtful, and funny discussions in Talk keep us clicking, reading, and grinning. Looking back at the week past, here's just a handful of our favorite threads and comments.

Looking to get rid of high-fructose corn syrup from your diet? "The easiest way to avoid it is not to eat processed foods... no more snacks, no more sodas, no more cheap candies. Definitely read labels on anything that has more than one ingredient in it. If you must have snacks, make your own." – seyo
Emergency HUNGER ATTACK Food? "I definitely keep a stash of food at work for emergencies, but somehow that stash keeps growing bigger and bigger and I look like a food hoarder (I need drawers!)" – Chew on That
Favorite dinner party menu? "... Individual frittatas baked in muffin tins. It's such a great seasonal dish that can be made vegetarian (or not) very easily, and you can use whatever veggies are in season." – FigswithBri

Have you inherited your parents' eating habits? "My mom ate too many carrots as a teenager and turned orange... Lo and behold, I had the same addiction and suffered the same fate for most of high school!" – ChristineB
Favorite methods to learn daily home cooking "... There is no substitute for hands on with an experienced cook. That's how I learned from my mother and my children from me. We then went on and expanded our skills and repertoire. Cookbooks and cooking shows are wonderful resources." – PerkyMac
What's your favorite store-bought food gift? "I purchased a hat box... and inside put vodka, worcestershire sauce, fresh lemons, tabasco, tomato juice, an online recipe for the perfect Bloody Mary and some nuts... They thought it was professionally done – which costs a ton adn mine was relatively inexpensive." – debsch
