1 medium-sized navel orange, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch pieces

10 Process orange pieces in now empty food processor until ground to a pulp. Stir into nut-raisin mixture.

This may be a dumb question, but is this orange supposed to be peeled first or used whole. The accompanying story says "a whole orange, ground to a pulp in a food processor". Does that mean pith and zest and all? Or peel it and just use the flesh? Are seeds a problem?

I also came to suggest Harold McGee's column on soda ash as an alternative to lye

NVC can have it's brunch. I'm more of a brinner kind of guy anyway.

@Hannah - did you offer anything back to the waiter, like to double his tip if he lets you take your time? If the brunch is a great deal, it might be worth it to pay a little extra in tip. The waiter gets his money and a slower pace, you get your drinks and can take your time.

It was $64 for a tomato, and it wasn't a gardening "expert" but a guy who was doing it himself. It was the total cost he spent on supplies, fertilizer, tools, seeds, whatnot, which is documented in the book he wrote. But you can do it for much less.

Did the chest starer ask for your number?

I always preferred the Chuck House in OKC on Northwest 10th and Meridian for CFS, I think it is better than Del Rancho, but bioth are very good.

Ted's Cafe Escondido has the best Mexican food anywhere, on in OKC May just north of 63rd.

Braums is easy to take for granted, but now that I am gone I sure do miss them.

I also miss Sonic corn dogs.

@FastFoodCritic I love the Whataburger A1 Thick and Hearty. I like to stop and get one for breakfast, they make you pull to the side and it takes awhile but you get a hot fresh burger.

I took the family strawberry picking last weekend. We live in Orlando, FL. The place we went is about 20 minutes from Walt Disney World.

The minis are great, and the Chick-fil-a chicken biscuit is pretty awesome also. It is their standard chicken fillet on a buttermilk biscuit. Hands down they have the best fast food breakfasts.

I saw a very similar recipe on the PBS show "Diary of a Foodie". They visited Heston Blumenthal, and then their recipe was to make bacon and egg ice cream similar to what is made at The Fat Duck. They candied the bacon similar to above, and then made a custard ice cream without tempering the eggs so it had bits of scrambled egg in it. It looked pretty good.
