Cook the Book: Eugenia Bone's 'Well-Preserved'
Tomatoes Of Coarse. Everyone has too many from the garden; and nothing tastes better in the dead of winter.

Ricotta gnocchi with fava beans.
fava bean help
By "peeling" them did you just mean taking them out of the pods?
Fava beans have pods and shells; if the favas are young you only need to take them out of the pod, if favas are older & large they my also have to have the shells removed to get rid of the bitter taste (kind of alot of work).
Oh, by the way you can cook them in the pods, in the shells or totally peeled....

Sounds to me like CORN POPS...But, remember NOTHING TASTES LIKE IT USE TO. I use to really liked cheerios (but now they use CORN SYRUP in EVERYTHING NOW, and it all tastes too sweet to me .) :(

Serious Heat: Roasting Chiles the Alton Brown Way
I'm so glad you said to use your fingers to remove skins; I can't stand when people tell you to rinse them in water. Why blacken your steamer? I just throw the peppers on the burner and turn when necessary.

How do you eat your hot dogs?
Fewteeth.. I know you are probably long gone from here, but I'll ask anyway. What exactly is a "sewer beetle?" Something you invented?
Domino’s Launches Line of Bread Bowl Pastas
Oh my, let's complain about carbs every day for the rest of our lives, but eat all the fatty meats and cheeses we can, because I don't want to live past the age of 50. Carbohydrates are energy, it's simple. What can you do without energy? If you say ANYTHING in response, you're uneducated. Every single person that I have EVER heard complaining about carbohydrates does not hold a degree in Biology (or Physiology for that matter). I digress; ultimately you do whatever you want, and enjoy your myocardial infarction and, probably, death.
One more thing, about people who are obese, quit blaming it on hypothyroidism. In fact, about 7.0% of the world population actually has it.
Have a great day.
Top 10 Awesome Nostalgic Foods We Want Back
I miss the S'mores cookies and Fudgies, the little Kraft chewy candies in a gold wrapper. Does anyone remember the cereal, Double-Dip Crunch? I was like a "frosted" Crispix. Mmmmm!!! Oh, and the Quacker "strawberry" snack/dessert bars that looked like Nutri-Grain but had a little "squiggle" of white "icing" on top. I'm hungry now.

Well, I'd like to be able to cook all types of cuisine at home, but if had to pick a favorite, it'd be Chinese food. That is mostly due to the fact that I havn't really been exposed to many "exotic" cuisines like Indian or thai.
