Top Ten Uniquely '80s Foods
Tang was 60s. TAB was 70s. (Fresca too?) Maybe Crystal Light was 80s? Or Bartles and Jaymes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartles_and_Jaymes)?
There was an Orange Julius at the downtown shopping mall in Sacramento in the 70s.
I used to eat jawbreakers as a kid in the 60s.

Indeed. Sam's funky looking tomato is a much better example.

Michelle Obama: Should Our First Lady Also Be America's Chef de Cuisine?
Most of my women friends with full-time jobs and kids would happily give up cooking if they could. Yes, it is a chore when you don't have much time, and you have to do it every day, day in and day out. My mother has cooked more than 30,000 meals for her family in her lifetime, she would gratefully pass on the job to someone else it that were an option. Personally I would rather see more role models out there of fathers pitching in with the cooking for the family. It kills me to see young boys growing up thinking that cooking is just something girls do.

An Open Letter to Alice Waters and the Good Folks at Slow Food Nation
To counter Banana's point, many of the events are priced very reasonably, like at about $10 a ticket. A few big dinners are quite expensive, but then they are fundraisers, and they are dinners, so you expect them to be expensive. I'm actually quite impressed with the breadth and accessibility of the events this weekend. Unfortunately for me, almost all of them are sold out, so I will not be driving in from Sacramento to attend.
How to Turn Your Kettle Grill into a Smoker
Hi Robyn, Thanks for the plug! Hank and I had a great time smoking these ribs on the grill.
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
Bill Moyers. Because I think he would be terribly interesting to have a conversation with, the subject matter could go in any direction, and I could see just having a relaxed, real chat with him. I could see the meal taking place somewhere wherever he is on location, in between shoots of whatever he is filming, and the meal being a simple turkey sandwich on 12 grain bread, with lettuce, mayo, and mustard.
Barack Obama's Partially Eaten Breakfast for Sale on eBay
Oh Adam, tell us how you really feel, will ya?
I agree, totally lame.
Chipotle Calorie Math Makes Absolutely No Sense
I must say that I completely disapprove of any law that mandates calorie counts on menus. I don't believe in "eating by numbers" and don't think that it is a good way to eat, live, or diet.
Dinner Tonight: Chorizo, Egg and Raisin Tacos
Hi Nick,
That's my mom. She's brilliant. I mean, who would think to put raisins in with the chorizo and eggs? She also makes sure to always save the green ends of the green onions for dishes like this too.
It just isn't the same without the raisins. But I certainly wouldn't have come up with that one on my own. ;-)
Glad you liked it.

For an Edible Container, Try Bacon Bowls
I love bacon, but that is a little insane. More bacon than I eat in a week.
Apples Galore: What to Do With Them?
How about baked apple slices? Just peel and core the apples, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and, put in the microwave for a few minutes until cooked. Serve plain or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Refrigerated Lemonade: What's Your Favorite?
Hi Ed,
Thanks for shout out! We have three lemon trees here, 1 regular and 2 Meyer, so we have fresh lemons almost all year round, which is why we end up making so much lemonade from scratch. It's really so easy. To make a quart of lemonade only requires one cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice (2-4 lemons, depending on how big an juicy your lemons are) and 1/2 cup to 1 cup of sugar. If you live in the part of the country where they don't grow lemons, buy them in season (winter), juice them and freeze the juice. We end up freezing a whole bunch of juice in 8 ounce jars, perfect for pulling out when we want to make lemonade during those few months (coming up now) when there are no more ripe lemons on the tree.
That said, I grew up with frozen lemonade from a can. Especially loved the frozen pink lemonade and limeade. Don't know what's in them now (probably a lot of HFCS) but in the 60s, it was pretty much just lemon juice, pulp, sugar, and water.
Of the brands you mentioned above, the one I'm probably most familiar with is Paul Newman's, which I think is pretty good.
Basically anything that uses real lemon juice and not Splenda is a huge leap forward. I seriously think that most of the country believes that Crystal Light is what lemonade is supposed to taste like.
Photo of the Day: Semifreddo Ingredients
What a cool shot! Like a Hindu goddess.
Ratatouille Makes It to the Op-Ed Page
D'accord. The film's theme of "anyone can cook" extends to anyone can appreciate fine, simple, well prepared food. I'm hoping Ratatouille inspires children to learn to cook (even if their parents don't), but I certainly don't hope that it inspires a generation of picky snobs.
Coca-Cola Redesigns Packaging
Oh I love it. I love the simple essence of the design. Reminds me of the old coke signs I grew up with. Of course back then we still had the green bottles. I dutifully took mine back for recycling and got a nickel a bottle.
Wildwood Eats: Britton's Bakery
That's a crazy good looking apple fritter. I'm glad I don't live any where near that place or I wouldn't be able to resist.
Cook the Book: Big Bob Gibson's Grand World Championship Pork Shoulder
Ooo, I had some of Chris Lilly's BBQ'd pork shoulder at an event last fall, it was awesome! One thing to note is that the rub/injections can physically turn the pork pink in color, leading one to mistakenly think that the pork isn't done cooking. It is done, it has been cooking for hours and hours. Don't worry about the color.
AGTV: (Lobster) Roll Your Own
Brilliant again Adam! I love the plot twist at the end. :-)
Which Corn Tortillas Are Best?
I make mine now at home from scratch all the time too. Once you get the hang of it, they are really easy to make, as Ms. Homesick Texan says.
BTW, the tortillas at TJ's in California are higher quality than those in New England. I bought some at a TJ's outside of Boston a few months ago and was warned by the clerk in the store that they weren't as good as the ones I get at home in CA. The clerk was right. They were thin and somewhat fragile. They practically tore apart when I was making quesadillas for some friends.
AGTV: Eggs Benedict Arnold
That was really funny Adam. I kept on expecting Lisa to be the gal who would be delivered the eggs. I shoulda known betta!
Bunny Bao
Adam, those are so cute! Maki always has such great ideas.
Peanut Butter and Jelly: A Serious Eats Special Report
My mother let us have as much peanut butter and jelly as we wanted, it was hard enough getting sufficient calories in us. 2 Tbsp? too wimpy for me. We used Orowheat bread, with big slices, and at least 3 Tbsp if not more of peanut butter. It helped if the sandwich was being packed, to spread some peanut butter on the other slice of bread first, before adding the jelly. The PB set up a protective barrier so that the jelly didn't completely ooze into the bread. Regarding the "jelly" - please give me Strawberry jam if we are doing jelly. Otherwise, honey is my favorite companion to peanut butter in a sammich.

Chipotle Calorie Math Makes Absolutely No Sense
you can pick healthy choices... i can get crunchy tacos with carnitas, fajita veggies, lettuce, and medium salsa. all stuff that I know won't add a lot of calories (like rice, beans). My total for that is 410 calories.
