Is $5 Too Much To Pay For a Coke?

Absolutely ridiculous. A "self serve" Coke should be no more than $2.50, even in New York.

Cook the Book: 'The Gourmet Cookie Book'

My favorite has to be the pure white chocolate chip and orange flavored cranberry cookies I make for friends, charities and our mailman. Every year I get more requests for these cookies from friends of friends and others who share them.

Cook the Book: 'Ready for Dessert'

Hands down......it's David Lebovitz's "Chocolate Idiot Cake". I've made this so many times, and often times embellish with a luscious ganache finish.

Cook the Book: 'The Art of Eating In'

By reading Serious Eats, watching the Food Network and subscribing to many cooking magazines, I feel very empowered to tackle just about any recipe that looks delicious, unique or totally out of the ordinary. I wouldn't have half the confidence I now have, if I chose to eat out all the time. You save money, eat better and healthier too. You feel GREAT!

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 104: My Five Rules for an Eat-All-Day Diet

Ed............You are in a very enviable position, and at the same time, one that is trying to bring you and the scale numbers back up again. I remember not too long ago that you were closing in on 200 lbs (212?), and thought for sure you'd be there in no time.

Well, we all know that exercise, moderation and all of the other weight loss/maintenance blah, blah, blah isn't going to do it alone. What I'd suggest is tasting, then spitting it out......similar to beer and wine tasters. Although a tad crude (you could dive under your desk) it is sure to pay some dividends.........Just a thought!

British Perfect Toaster with Window

I bought the 4 slice Dualit several years ago when it was listed in one of those over the top gift catalogs for $300.00. It is a fantastic machine. Today however, you can find them at Bed Bath and Beyond for around $100.00. So much for their "very" limited production.....LOL

Serious Chocolate: Somebody's Mother's Chocolate Sauce

Fresh out of college, I spent an entire year on Wall Street in the Insurance Industry. I HATED it with a passion. I moved back home and wound up going to work for a local confectioner. The President of the company told me that once chocolate gets the blood of a "chocoholic", it would stay there forever. He was SO right! I can thank him for turning me into the chocolate gourmet that I've become. Winning this sauce would be total Nirvana.
