Online coupons?
Ok, so I noticed that foodnetwork.com has started this thing with coupons. That is all well and good, but there is no grocery store near me that takes them. (I am in Pittsburgh, PA) Do your markets take them?

I need advice re: a cast iron enamel dutch oven...
I saw some very nice enamel covered lodge cookware at "le gourmet chef". They were certainly very comparable to LC, but the handles were metal. They also weren't quite as expensive.
What's your most unusual cookie cutter?
I have a dog bone shaped one, because I make dog biscuits for the dogs around the holidays.
I also had one made by a friend in the shape of a virus (I am one of those geeky science types.)
My favorites are a set of small leaves. I use them most for rimming pies.
What's Your Favorite Local Ice Cream?
Dave and Andy's in Pittsburgh.
I believe that they could ship it to you.
They have flavors like Kaluha, and Golden Ale Espresso Bean.
My favorite is Birthday Cake.
They also make the waffle cones right in the store, and the smell is exquisite.

I need advice re: a cast iron enamel dutch oven...
After reading CI reviews on dutch ovens, I bought the 7 1/4 quart LC and I haven't regretted it for a moment. It's turned me into a soup meister and a braising queen... and although it's heavy, it's surprisingly easy to clean. I also read about the cheaper alternative at Target, but it seemed to be unavailable now. Go ahead and treat yourself!
What's your most unusual cookie cutter?
Odd how many of us collect these. I have all shapes and sizes from huge to miniature, some tin, some aluminum, some plastic. Unbelievable variety. The funny thing is - I rarely make cut-out cookies. I'm going to give them to my daughter for cookies and play dough time with her daughter. (We live on opposite coasts). I might keep a gingerbread man and woman, and a couple of biscuit cutters with handles.
'Variety' Compiling List of Food Movies
No question: "Babette's Feast." With "Big Night" a close second.
What's Your Favorite Local Ice Cream?
Besides the usual NY faves (Il Lab, Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory), I love Creole Creamery in New Orleans. It's an old-fashioned ice cream parlor with flavors like chocolate breakfast (with maple syrup flavoring), creole creamcheese, lavender honey. They usually don't ship their ice cream, but they might if you beg.
What's Your Favorite Local Ice Cream?
Jeni's in Columbus, OH. Amazing.
I would also say Grater's from Cincinnati, OH. It is made in the French pot method with homemade chocolate chips.
What's Your Favorite Local Ice Cream?
Burnt Caramel and Earl Grey tea ice cream at Toscanini's and Ginger Molasses and CARROT CAKE ice cream at Christina's!! Both locations in Cambridge, MA.
What's Your Favorite Local Ice Cream?
Capogiro gelato (and I've only had the pre-packed pints from Whole Foods)
Otto on 8th Street and 5th Avenue
Cones on Bleeker
What's Your Favorite Local Ice Cream?
Have to throw in another vote for Jeni's in Columbus. They are, simply put, amazing. Seasonal flavors, high-quality sourcing, very-reasonable shipping... nothing to dislike. I'll also echo the earlier nod to Denise's (which is in fact my neighborhood creamery). In a knock-down drag-out, I think Jeni's has to be the winner, but I just had Denise's cucumber ice cream a couple weeks ago, and it was revelatory.
What's Your Favorite Local Ice Cream?
Handel's Ice Cream in Ohio - I have not found a better ice cream - particularly their Butter Pecan. My fiance loves their Chocoholic Chunk.
(I will also throw a little weight behing the Graeter's nomination, though)
