Japanese restaurant in Seattle?

Don't forget a trip to Uwajimaya in the International District, it's a gigantic grocery store of mostly Asian foods, with a food court. And you could probably get great recommendations there.http://www.uwajimaya.com/

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Knife

My knife set is a bottom-of-the-line-bought-at-TJ Maxx-set of Sabatier knives. My favorite knife in it is the chef's knife. It's heavy, sharp, and cuts through most things effortlessly.

Cook the Book: 'Serious Eats'

Blueberry Port Wine Jam! (Although, the caramel apple jelly comes in a close second.)

What was on your Thanksgiving plate?

I had a little of everything we cooked: turkey, stuffing, potato kugel, roast asparagus, & cranberry sauce. (There were only 5 of us, so we didn't go overly insane.)

From Talk

Daikon?

They're fantastic in a beef stew. They add a tiny bit of bite, while being everything you want the potatoes to be.

Cereal Eats: Grape Nuts, Neither A Grape Nor a Nut—Discuss

My ex once made stuffing for a chicken out of Grape Nuts. It was one of the best stuffings I'd ever had.

The Best Way To Eat Breakfast at McDonald's

Great. Now I'm craving a sausage biscuit and hash browns.

Sauced: Béchamel

Best crepe I ever had was asparagus, ham and bechamel sauce.

Giveaway: Enter to Win This Panasonic Breadmaker

Chocolate Cherry Bread for special, and challah, for the rest of the time. Mmmm.

Bad food policy may shut down artisanal IL ice cream makers

I'm with Meat Guy on this one. There's nothing saying that an artisan shop can't make artisan strawberry syrup.

Blueberry Port Jam

This turned out so delicious, thank you!

Food aversions, prenatal style

I had to do that horrid glucose test twice, while pregnant, I feel your pain!

When I was pregnant, the smell of tomato sauce sent me running for the bathroom.

From Talk

What's cooking for Father's Day?

Grilling, lobster tails and asparagus. And he's doing the grilling!

Give me your BEST onion showcasing/onion using recipes

Hollow out the middle of the onion and stuff it with meats and the chopped, caramelized bits you cut out of the onion and whatever else, then bake, like stuffed peppers?

My Latest Obsessions: Wasabi Peas

I love the wasabi peas, but I end up with heartburn. So I mostly eat the plain, roasted peas, and then occasionally, splurge on the wasabi ones.

From Drinks

Drink the Book: 'Jelly Shot Test Kitchen'

Mojito flavored jello shots and they were amazing.

Seattle: Where to Eat at Pike Place Market

Le Panier has these insanely good savory pastries, the chicken in cream sauce (The Normandie) is out of this world. And the Truffle Cafe has the best potato-leek soup around.

From Talk

Garden Warfare- MINT!

I envy, I want some mint, I keep killing mine. There's a gentleman at the local farmer's market who makes crepes, and he does a mojito style iced tea that's heavenly: just sweetened iced tea, and muddled spearmint and lime. SOOOO good!

From Recipes

Chicken Soup with Matzo Balls

I object to all these fluffy matzoh balls. I /like/ mine to be rock hard! They stay with you, that way!

From Talk

Is the Customer Always Right?

No, the customer is not always right. And I say this as a picky eater who won't go get a bahn mi because I think asking them to remove the hot peppers and mayonaise and a few other things is unreasonable, no matter how much the bread and meat and daikon radish make my tongue sing.

On the other hand, the chefs can suck it up, too: put salt and pepper on the plate. Sure, it's insulting to watch someone oversalt their food without tasting it, but people taste things differently. No two body chemistries are the same. Also, the chefs aren't the star of the show. That's the food and the company.
