How to Make Turkish Borek

i knew there was a reason we were friends! as someone with a lap-band, i'm always always looking for small meals that are easily eaten. i have a dream of opening a chain of snack shops called Pocket, carrying small easily carried and eaten snack from around the world - like your idea. Hmmmm, maybe one day. Anyway, love the recipe, can't wait to try it out

American Classics: "Mama's" Mint Sticks

@roxlet, i know, it sounds too bitter, but it actually works. the mint layer is basically just confectioner's sugar and mint extract, so tasting it in one bite the bitterness is a nice foil against the sweetness of the layer. My grandmother used to use just basic supermarket Baker's unsweetened chocolate (remember those squares?) and they were still fantastic. Tho no one would mind i'm sure if you use unsweetened callebaut or valrhona ;)

5 Ways to Organize Your Spice Rack

I bought a whole mess of tins from specialtybottle.com, they were about 60 cents each or less, i believe, and a magnetic whiteboard for about $20. I used round Avery labels and printed the names with my home printer and voila! Only thing i believe the whiteboard isnt magnetic enough, and the tins slip a bit. I'm going to try a piece of galvanized or powder coated steel next. Oh, magnets. Rare earth magnets go really cheaply on ebay, and they're very thin and strong. Epoxy them on to the tin.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

i went to the food network nyc booze bash a few years ago, and some rum company was serving.... something with chicarones on top. i had a bite, then went and did the whole tent. the whole tent. full of booze. i went back to the rum table and asked for a second helping of chicarones only. the blessed dears gave me a whole paper cup full. which lasted maybe two days. i still remember them fondly
