We're bananas for what goes on in Talk. There's so much useful, funny, and interesting stuff going on that we almost can't keep up. Here's some of the discussion that's piqued our interest this week.

The Weirdest Thing I've Ever Made
"Zucchini peelings sauteed with olive oil, garlic, crushed red pepper, tomato paste, basil, and at the very last minute—angel hair pasta. Genius." —embolini9

Alternatives to $$$$ maple syrup
"The fake crap or honey with LOADS or butter....Real butter!!" —pjracz10

What's with the tiny hamburgers?
"They do seem to be the new thing, don't they? Personally, I don't like them. I would much rather eat a regular burger than its diminutive cousin. But you know, people really seem to like them." —chisai

I LOOOVE GUY FIERI
"I like him....but I don't Looove him. I think he's just a veeerrryyy lucky foodie that got a break and is now living out his dream and 15 minutes of fame." —juliebugsmama

Is my non-stick skillet killing me?
"Get a decent stainless steel pan or a cast iron skillet and you won't have to worry anymore. If the fumes from a non-stick pan can kill pet birds, it can't be worth the perceived convenience." —zucchini

Crock pot + ground meat question
"The temperature would get high enough, but if you don't brown the meat first, it's often get a sort of 'wet-dog smell' while cooking. Other ingredients can modify/conceal that, but it seems more appealing to just brown the meat." —mongoose

Oh crap, the dog ate the....
"Our 90 lb bundle of joy ate a whole bag of cheese puffs I had available for the 6 and under guests and yeah neon orange you know what decorated our lawn." —finsbigfan
