Serious Eats: AliNC's Profile

The corner stores you speak of do not exist where I live, they are gas stations. I'm doing just fine with my big-boxes (Target) and not so big boxes (Sprouts).

**I do wish stores would carry more local produce.**

Dinner Tonight: Honey-Chipotle Arepas

I've never had arepas, but those don't look like any I've seen before. They look very very good though, I'm excited about trying this recipe!!

Mott's Selling 50% Juice For the Same Price as 100% Juice

...b/c it is so hard to take half a glass of apple juice and fill it with water.

Crazy Craigslist Cookie Ad

Sounds like a guy that will flay you for accidentally dropping an oat into his oatmeal cookies.

It would be a great CSI episode though!

Canned Soup Truth

I just made layered enchiladas with a can of cream of chicken. I thought they would be terrible and weird tasting, but they were really good and incredibly easy.

That was so much more funny on mute. Good laugh, thanks.

Dear AHT: The All-In Burger at Red Hot & Blue in Dallas, Texas

I don't know about the pork beef combo - I would have to taste it for myself. I do love the idea of onion rings on a burger.

This wasn't the worst dessert ever, but totally unexpected. I was in Costa Rica and ordered what was described as a tart with fresh fruit. What I got was tapioca pudding and very good fruit. I don't know how tapioca pudding and a tart could be considered one in the same, but I was still satisfied so I didn't complain.

What's your frying style?

I have never deep fried, but not because of health concerns, I simply don't want to clean up the mess. Most of time I do pan-frying with as little oil as possible.

Irradiated Foods!

@NightOwl - Don't get me wrong, I eat iceberg. How could I live without a blue cheese wedge every once in a while? But, it seriously lacks in nutritive value compared to something like Romaine lettuce.

Who cares about iceberg, but spinach?? Why ruin a good thing? Probably money...

Best way to eat ice cream?

@hungrychristel - You gave me a new goal in life - find black licorice ice cream!!

Best way to eat ice cream?

When I go out I prefer a small sugar cone, I love that they are so crunchy. I rarely eat ice cream at home anymore, if I do it is on top of cake.

The Most Disgusting School Lunches

How about Chili Cheese Fries?? I remember that horrid concoction - soggy fries, neon yellow "cheese" out of a can, and all meat chili (canned no doubt).

What's even more frightening is I used to sprinkle salt on before I ate it. No wonder I lost 15 lbs as soon as I exited high school!

French Fries.... Does Size Really Matter?

I'm a sucker for curly fries and ketchup is all I need. I don't mind mayo or even the occasional milk shake, but they can be too heavy after just a few bites.
