Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
I guess it has to be SE. I started reading Pioneer Woman for the recipes, but got hooked by the "Confessions" section.
Book Giveaway: Mike Colameco's Food Lover's Guide to NYC
Not really off the radar, but I love Vanessa's Dumplings, and not only because it's dirt-cheap.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
Betty Crocker's Boys and Girls Cookbook. But I only made the chocolate chip cookies from it (which were basically the same as Toll House)

Haven't really thought about it yet... Maybe The Pioneer Woman Cooks?

Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'
I have a kosher friend who recently copped to eating (and enjoying) a lobster. Heating that, I blurted out, "Personally, I would've gone with some bacon."
'Nuff said?
Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
egg in a hole, or egg salad sandwich (is there a pattern here?)
Public Fare: Danny Meyer's Latest Venture in Central Park
I tried the BLT a week or so ago and was very disappointed.
Win Tickets to an NYC Advance Screening of 'Julie and Julia'
Really hard to say... Probably both Julia's Mastering and Marcella's Essentials...
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 75: Can (and Should) I Give Up the Flavored Liquid Habit?
Ed, you might want to try giving up the soda for just awhile -- I dunno, a week? a month? I used to drink it all the time, but gave it up when I was pregnant. And it's the ONLY thing I did not pick up again after the bundle of joy arrived (this was 16 years ago).
Also the suggestion above to drink room temp water is a good one -- not only does it taste better (to me), but I can also down 8 to 16 ounces in a matter of seconds. And if you aren't thirsty, that might help your soda cravings.
Dinner Tonight: Pork Schnitzel
This is one of my favorite dinners. I find that bone-in pork chops are better -- more flavor, more fat (although they can be a little grisly). I like them with mango chutney or caramelized onions.
Suggestions for Portland, ME? (or near Bath?)
We eat at Fore Street every year on our way to Bailey Island. It is great. You will not have a bad meal.
We did Street & Co. one year --- it was pretty good, but not terrific. There are a lot of other very good restaurants -- Hugo's, Back Bay Grill, etc. Check out the Best Restaurants in Portland in the blog sammie referenced (thanks, sammie!)
For lunch, try Duck Fat for their fries -- out of this world. For breakfast, the sticky buns at Standard Baking Co. (underneath Fore Street) are great.
And if you're near Cook's Corner (it's on the way to Bath), a stop at Fat Boy is a must.
Dinner Tonight: Tortilla Espanola
Nick, don't stress so much about all the oil. Olive oil is good for you! It's butter (and other fats that are solid at room temp) that will clog your arteries, etc.
And there's not even that much oil in the tortilla, if you do pour 1/2 cup off.
Lunch near John Jay College
Try Kashkaval, 9th Avenue between 55 and 56.
Get the $12 tapas plate with your choice of 5 items and a big basket of whole-wheat pita.
Ed reviewed it here a while ago

What Do Fiddleheads Taste Like?
Dirt.
Sorry, I just had to come right out and say it without any sugar-coating, but fiddleheads taste like dirt. Yeah, there may be some asparagus overtones, and maybe some bitter greens... But the overall taste is dirt.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Cook the Book: 'Bottega Favorita' by Frank Stitt
Freezer pasta: whatever's in the freezer and/or veggie drawer (ground beef, sausage, peas, demi-glace, carrots, broc rabe, etc.) plus onions, garlic and maybe some tomato sauce.
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 65: 'Call Me Papacito'

In Videos: 'I Went to Eat at Alinea Tonight'
If this guy has friends who work in restaurants, and if HE has worked in restaurants, he's hardly an "avg Joe."
Win Tickets to Taste of Tribeca
Bouley.. And I really miss Alison on Dominick
Cook the Book: Smoked Ham with Avocado and Butter
@dmarina -- not in the pad thai I get (or did get) -- they're usually raw and sprinkled on top at the end. And they're usually raw in sandwiches too.
Cook the Book: Smoked Ham with Avocado and Butter
I'm so with you on the sprouts. Can't stand them. And did you know that one of most common sources of salmonella infection is bean sprouts? (This is not necessarily because they are more tainted than other veggies, but more likely that they are almost never cooked before serving, so there's little chance of cooking the critters away.) That's why I always ask for pad thai and other dishes that usually come with the little threads with "no sprouts!"
Sounds like a great sandwich -- a lesson in simplicity.
Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'
Orzo risotto made with onions and garlic. And fresh basil if I have it.
