Serious Heat: Sriracha and Peanut Butter, and Other Odd Spicy Combos

This isn't exotic at all, but I love to mix sriracha and mayo and spread it on saltines.

Meet & Eat: Sarah Kuo, Serious Eats Intern

I don't like eggs, either. I hate the way they taste or smell, and am not a fan of the texture and mouth feel. This goes for fried, scrambled, hard or soft boiled, or poached eggs.

But eggs cooked into other things like baked goods? That's okay. I can eat them that way. Even stirred into wok dishes are okay.

The Crisper Whisperer: 4 Ways to Use Lettuce (Other Than Salad)

We also made lettuce soup this past weekend, from a recipe included in last week's CSA newsletter. It helped up deal with the growing mound of fresh lettuce we had in the fridge.

And we have been grilling romaine hearts for a couple of years now.

The Crisper Whisperer: 4 Ways to Use Lettuce (Other Than Salad)

A local restaurant does an interesting variation on the traditional wedge salad, by grilling the iceberg wedges until they are a bit singed. It gives the lettuce a nice smokey flavor.

Poll: How Do You Eat String Cheese?

I alternate between stringing it, and biting off chunks like a Tootsie Roll.

It just depends on my general mod, and how hungry I am.

We always had dressing, and called it dressing.

My wife did stuff a couple of ducks a couple of years ago. No one died from food poisoning.

Has Anyone Had Sister Schubert's Rolls or Marshall's Biscuits?

I love the rolls and the biscuits. Both are widely available in groceries in Central Kentucky.

Mixed Review: Krusteaz Fat-Free Wild Blueberry Supreme Muffin Mix

I would try them with fresh berries, too.

I have tried these before, and agree with your assessment.

The Krusteaz Cranberrie Orange muffins are much better.

Grilling: Butternut Squash Soup with Sweet Italian Sausage

I made this last night and it was fantastic.

I grilled the squash on a gas grill that did not have multiple burners, and it worked just fine. We also substituted Sweet Italian Breakfast Sausage. We had a half a roll left over from a pasta dish we made the night before.

We will be making this again.

Thanks for the recipe.
