The Cheeseburger Eggsplosion, a Burger with a Fried Egg Center

We did this back in January, with a breakfast sandwich, and not by frying the egg. You can check it out on page 22, in the April issue of Saveur or on our site for the full story.

What's the worst odor you've smelled in a restaurant?

Clorox, I am sure they are hiding something, something that does not want to go into my belly.

White Bean Dip

Yes, there is a recipe at our food site - Chez Us. www.chezus.com. Enjoy

The Food Lab: Perfect Boiled Eggs

We did an entire series on "how to eggs" back in July. From getting the basics down we moved the egg out of its normal breakfast role into dinner as well as methods were really fool proof, we tried and tried until, well, perfect! http://www.chezus.com/?s=incredible+egg&x=0&y=0

Cook the Book: 'Rustic Fruit Desserts'

Stone fruit Clafouti

Dinner Tonight: Chilaquiles Rojos

Chilaquiles is also a breakfast meal. We hate them every morning we were in Sayulita - they are absolutely wonderful. We were lucky to come across an authentic recipe, just like the ones we ate, and made it for dinner - http://www.chezus.com/2008/10/29/chilaquiles/. Really fantastic!

How Long does it take Your Household to Finish a Loaf of Bread?

We don't do loaves we do baguettes ... it takes about 2 minutes, literally, I am not kidding!!! If I want a bite, I have to have it before bringing it into the house or hide it!

Eating Well and Cheaply: Any More Ideas Out There?

We have been writing a recession/depression proof dinner series all week. It is all about eating well, organically, and as local/sustainable as possible for under $100 a week (we are in the Bay Area) and by shopping at Whole Foods. It is going so well, that we are going to try another week with a different twist!
