The Food Lab: A Better Way to Caramelize Onions (Plus, French Onion Dip!)

Good thinking. I like to make onion soup, and this first step is carmelizing the onions. Then a bit of apple cider and wine and an maybe some cognac and we're there. Any precautions you'd recommend if the onions aren't destined for chips?

Yes, Aurora…. Sill means herring, and bord means table, and the Swedes do the best and the most with their herrings.

The Food Lab: Slicing Meat Against the Grain

A pointless exercise except for math geeks. Why show the grill marks? they only confuse, visually. But in those pictures, the only distinguishing marks are the grill marks. Where's the grain? If I'm supposed to know how to cut the steak BEFORE I cook it, I'm still nowhere. Is there someway I could push on the meat to know how the grain goes?

I can't buy bottled water anymore. Just can't.

My solution is to buy a water filter for my faucet and one of those sodastream devices with include 6 sturdy bottles and caps and a large CO2 capsule. They're not expensive over time (I've had mine for more than a year), no packaging, the water is from my local watershed. It's local produce, and perfectly satisfying to me. I prefer sparkling, but if I have a guest who likes their water still, I give them a bottle of my filtered water, sans bubbles.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 82: Peanut Butter Portion Control

First of all, there's too much crust showing!

Skippy!!?!?!? I think that kind of processed stuff and its hidden sugar dis-equilibrates the body's way of equalizing hunger, what we eat, what we weigh, and how we feel about it (satisfied, full, stuffed, replete, etc.)

Eat for Eight Bucks: Dumplings Two Ways, with Freestyle Dipping Sauce

I wouldn't eat frozen wrappers any more than I'd eat frozen pasta. I was just in China and the eye-opener was the fresh, just made dumplings and noodles. So good!

Pizzeria Delfina, in San Francisco's Mission District

If you make pizzas you'll find that the quality goes in with the making of the dough. Lots of hours and maybe several risings. Probably (thought I haven't tried it) you could make decent pizza on a hot car roof if the dough was right. Jolivore

Jersey Dispatch: Ice Cream at The Bent Spoon and Thomas Sweet in Princeton

Listen to your wife, man! Bent Spoon's good, but it's not gelato—which is semifreddo, made with ice milk, while American "gelato" is made with cream—and it's too sweet. Halo has terrific, honest ice cream, too: the coffee ice cream is superb. Princeton food in general is student food, cheap and dirty, not worth a detour.
