@Kenji - hey, good thing you decided to arrive today. Tomorrow is supposed to be snow. Would Au Bon Pain have vegan options? I think there's one of those at South Station.

We decided to stay in at the last minute, so we had to scrounge what was in the house. We ended up with brie, pepperoni and crackers, chips and onion dip and chips and salsa. With frosty beverages, of course.

Go one bit further - make the oatmeal cookie pie crust from the Momofuku Crack Pie and then bake it with this filling. That would be even more full of win!

It's just going to be me and BF. Right now I'm planning on buffalo chicken sandwiches and onion rings, but a giant box of sliders could persuade me to make something else :)

I can attest to the confit step as being the way to go. I tried the recipe for Momofuku's Wings on Chow.com. The recipe calls for brining and then a confit at a temp between 190F-200F for 30-40 minutes (instead of cold smoking like they do at the restaurant). Then they get finished under the broiler (although I just used a 500F oven for 10-15 minutes...however long it took to get brown and crispy). For folks that might be deep fry averse, it's good baby steps to getting used to hot oil on a stove top.

Good lord! Is Coolio related to Paula Deen?

Gotta second "whatever one is in front of me". For a while that could have even been Stouffer's French Bread pizza, but we ran out of the stash we had in the freezer.

Generally never been an issue. Even if I did wake up hungry, I can't sleep if I'm trying to digest something, so I'd probably just try to ignore any hunger and go back to sleep!

Yogurt and curry powder (faux tandoori).

I think it depends a little bit on the time of the year for me. In the summer, I can drink Sam Adams Cherry Wheat all day. Other times, especially in the fall, I like a hefeweizen - I'm partial to Julius Echter or Troegs Dreamweaver.
Nitro reds, like the one at Watch City Brewery are also good for drinking several pitcher of in one sitting. Oh, and Sam Smith Nut Brown Ale. That's another one that's good for just putting down my head while spending a Saturday watching a movie marathon.

So many beers...

That second shot, of the real burger reveal, looks like the burger is sticking its tongue out. Weird.

The way things seem to be closing all the time in Downtown Crossing, I'm surprised that branch of Wendy's is still open!

I prefer it to be very lightly sauced - heck, I'm more likely than not going to order the pie sauceless, especially thin crusted ones. I'm there for the cheese and toppings, in harmony with the crust of course :)

Bring 3 cups of vegetable broth to a boil. Add one 12 oz. package of fresh fettucine. Boil for about 3-4 minutes and add one bunch Swiss Chard greens. Cook until greens have wilted into the pasta. Divide among 3-4 plates. Garnish with crumbled goat cheese, lemon zest and freshly ground black pepper.
