LOL how cute. I wish we has a Trader Joe's here in Austin. Is it kinda like Whole Foods? The prices he shows certainly look better than Whole Foods prices.

Dinner Tonight: Quick Tikka Masala
Oh MAN that looks good...
Chocolate Beer
I LOVE Young's Double Chocolate Stout. I never thought I'd care for chocolate beer, but man, that stuff is goooooooood.
Ikea Groceries: Some Assembly Required
Ah, thanks for this! I will definitely have to pick some of this stuff up the next time I'm in Ikea, which now may have to be sooner than later. I've only ever gotten the Swedish meatballs and sauce in the marketplace, but I'll definitely have to look for those onions, sausages, elderflower concentrate and sparkling pear cider. I'll pass on the seafood, I'm really not a fan of seafood. Ooh, and maybe I'll try the coffee, too...

hehe I thought those potatoes were rolls, too. That's one of the coolest things I've seen done with a cupcake.
Sweet Potato Fries -- Who Likes These Things?
I have had them twice, and I love them. There's a place here in Austin, Kerbey Lane Cafe, and they make deliciously crispy sweet potatoes fries. They serve them with ranch dressing. NOM NOM NOM.
Dinner Tonight: Seared Steak Tacos with Cactus Paddles
Once I ate a cactus out of my yard. I took all of the spines off, of course, but it made my lips sting, like there were tiny cactus needles sticking them. It tasted okay I guess.

How Old Is Too Old To Trick-or-Treat?
I don't think you're ever too old. I just hate it when I see older kids skulking around with no costumes going door to door for candy when they're not even dressed up. Or when older kids dart out in front of little kids to get to the doors first for candy. I trick or treated until I was 27, but mostly, it was to walk around the neighborhood and see everyone else's costumes. I rarely took any candy after I was like 12, I'd just go along in my costume with my friends. We always all dressed up and went all out on the costumes, so the neighbors always liked seeing what we'd come up with.

What's Your Favorite Halloween Candy?
I love those things, I think they're called Mary Janes, they are in the black or orange wrapping and they have some peanut buttery stuff in the middle. YUMMMM.
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
I think Colicchio was kinda cute. Bourdain looks too much like a teacher I had in high school. Who was a woman. I like my men manly lookin ;)
Deep-Fried Jelly Bean Time at the Texas State Fair
This is sad- I was born and raised in Texas, and I have never gone to the state fair. We lived too far away as a kid, and now although I'm in Austin and it's only 3 hours away, there is no excuse not for me to go. Grrrr to me.
Celebrate National School Lunch Week
My very favorite school cafeteria food was that square pizza, hamburgers, and nachos.
Mother's Cookies Goes Bankrupt; Hipster Shirt Memorializes the Animal Cookies
Awww, that seriously makes me sad. Poor little guys. :( I hate it when good food like this has to go away forever.
Inexpensive, Versatile Foods in the Pantry
Canned black beans, tomato sauce, tomato paste and of course, rice and pasta.
Blogwatch: The One-Pound Chateau Louise Burger
I like a good burger just as much as the next person, but that picture nauseates me. That just looks SO GROSS. It's way too huge.
Country Life Butter = The New Anarchy?
I like his kitchen.

Review of the New 'M&M's Premiums': Fancy-Pants, Expensive, and Kinda Gross
I'm completely amazed that Mars would believe that M&Ms are lowbrow!
The Hamburger Fatty Melt, a Burger with Two Grilled Cheese Sandwiches as Its Bun
Lettuce? Whaddya, crazy? Why? It adds nothing. Maybe some arugula (strong flavor) under the burger if you need a built-in salad, but plain old lettuce would just disappear.
But tomato in the grilled cheeses sounds good. Gotta have tomato on a cheeseburger.
I'm thinking maybe blue and swiss/Gruyère/Comté for the cheeses (one each), if not all extra-sharp cheddar. If using jalapeño cheddar (or better yet, habanero cheddar), only in one sammy, plain cheddar on the other. Otherwise the chiles will overwhelm everything else.
Bacon only if using cheddar. And not too much. Still have to taste the burger. Balance is important.

Healthy & Delicious: White Chicken Chili
I realize this post is a bit old, It seems to me that turkey could make a reasonable substitution for the chicken. I've got some leftover turkey that I roasted in my BBQ sitting in the freezer. Anybody have any input before I try it and possibly ruin it? Thanks!

WHERE CAN I FIND THIS ?????????????????????
I CANNOT FIND IT ON THE INTERNET FOR SALE..........
DO YOU KNOW THE NAME OF THE BOTTLE?
PLEASE RESPOND!!!!!!!!!
ANYONE???!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!??????????????????????
Photo of the Day: Elephant Spout on Oil Bottle
I TOTALLY was flabbergasted! I looked at my hubby and said I want one! lol too cute! And its purple! :D
Photo of the Day: Elephant Spout on Oil Bottle
what a little cute elephant over-the-top of purple cap... imagine, every time you cook you may say and give its name, "hi bimbo it's cooking time!" (the eagerness to cook) or joking around with your friends, tell them while having a dinner that the food you cook was used from an elephant oil obviously their reaction was no way but you should clear it...
AWESOME CAP!
The Hamburger Fatty Melt, a Burger with Two Grilled Cheese Sandwiches as Its Bun
Log time reader - first time commenter...
Love the idea -
Much to the shargin of my wife I am going to try this idea out tonight. The biggest challenge to me is to ensure proper timing so that everything is at the proper heat to ensure that the butter, cheese and beef blend together properly and not congeal.
Cheers!

Gotta love it! I will try it soon using the thin bread squashed down. Here's one that everyone already knows, but as long as we are trying for the ultimate heart attack:

Healthy & Delicious: White Chicken Chili
This is one of my new favourite recipes! My wife and I both love it. We've made it four times now, although we've varied the type of beans based on what was in the pantry. I just made it again tonight, and we have enough leftover for a few lunches this week. Sweet!

This is the number one most fantastic American innovation.
Can 'Pushing Daisies' Increase Awareness of Pie With Cheese?
I have a plan for a raspberry pear pie with brie baked into the crust but I have no idea how to bake cheese into a pie crust! Please help. I was thinking about putting a sheet of phyllo between the filling and the cheese and then putting the crust over it, but I'm not sure how well this will work. Any ideas?
Healthy & Delicious: White Chicken Chili
I made this last night and omg it was good! Luckily I doubled the recipe and have a bowl of it sitting in the fridge for lunch! I also grilled the chicken and it gave a little smokey flavor too!
Healthy & Delicious: White Chicken Chili
@Amethiste: Don't listen to those other folks! Potatoes, in a chili? Surely, you jest. If you don't want beans in your chili, then take a page from traditional chili recipes, and just substitute it with more meat! For dinner tonight, I followed this recipe (which was awesome, by the way) and substituted extra chicken for the one diner who didn't like beans. It came out just fine.
Healthy & Delicious: White Chicken Chili
Quite delicious. My friend and I made it last Wednesday because she was recovering from the flu and this recipe happened to come along the day before our weekly cooking nights!

I sooo missed TJ's from when I lived in NJ. Had to load up the car everytime I went back for a visit. Thankfully they finally opened one up in Richmond. Made me a happy woman.
Healthy & Delicious: White Chicken Chili
The burning sensation of chillies is neutralised by other members of the same plant family, which is why chilli relatives like greenpepper, tomato and potato all turn the fire down when eaten with chilli. The juice of fresh tomatoes works a treat for removing the burning sensation from your hands. (If you're unfortunate enough to get it in your eyes, though, rather use milk to wash it out!)
Healthy & Delicious: White Chicken Chili
I made this last night --and it's a keeper!
Healthy & Delicious: White Chicken Chili
An old boyfriend of mine had a bad pepper experience - he was mincing a Scotch Bonnet and then itched under his nose. His face swelled up and his nose membranes were on fire, and I forced him to snort milk up his nose with a straw. It helped!
Healthy & Delicious: White Chicken Chili
Juliebugsmama - cilantro and lime would both make great additions, I think. If you have 'em on hand, I'd definitely use them.
Howonder - if I had known then...
Gourmetgal - I went with cannellini. Delicious.
Amethiste - Cary makes a good point: if you leave out the beans, you'd need a substitute. Potatoes would make it more of a stew, but it could work very well if they hold their shape enough.
vox8ight - RIGHT? I was ready to add both salt and pepper at the end, but it didn't need either. Probably totally dependent on the stock, though.
Healthy & Delicious: White Chicken Chili
I checked the two recipes referenced, and none of them call for any additional salt or pepper. Can this be right? When you prepared it did you seriously not add any salt or pepper? Were you using full salt Chicken Stock? I am just curious, my hubby thinks this looks awesome and I am going to give it a try.
Healthy & Delicious: White Chicken Chili
I had a similar pepper experience when I was young (like 12?). I was preparing peppers for something and poked holes in all of them without wearing gloves. It burned the tips of all my fingers. Very traumatizing when you are that young.
Sweet Potato Fries -- Who Likes These Things?
Have you ever had them with honey and melted butter? You might feel differently.
Healthy & Delicious: White Chicken Chili
If you don't like beans...try adding diced zucchini...and a spoonful or two of 'instant mashed potatos' to thicken it up a tad.
