In the last two books I've read, a favorite dessert or snack appears to be dumping a bag of peanuts in a Coca-Cola bottle. It seems like a cool, throw-back dessert to serve at a party. My question, as both of the novels take place in the past, what would you think the appropriate amount of peanuts would be for a 12oz serving of coke?
In a trailer for a movie, a woman yells a bit of advice from a park bench "Get yourself some ribs and some ice cream, 'cause you have been dumped!" In pop culture, women are often seen turning to cheesecake, men beer. But in the real world, what are your "feel better" eats?
For Christmas, I got a surprise gift of two 30-oz, bone-in, frenched, tomahawks from Brian Flannery! He sent them himself as a thank-you for our orders throughout the year. Use this butcher, folks.
Occasionally, I'll try some kind of compote or fruit based cream pie, but they really never scratch my dessert itch. I noticed a lot of people over the age of 30 seeming to enjoy them over the holiday. So, my question: Are fruit desserts an acquired taste, like coffee, or a mere bluffing contest, like Scotch?
Alex Guarneschelli just pisses me off. Am I alone here, or do you think her frivolous, idosynchratic, over worked phrasing mirrors her food? I though she was cute, at first, on the Food Network Thanksgiving Challenge, but now I feel as if she is ridiculously off track. Given, she freely admits her mistakes, but I am concerned that she lives in a reality where sugar cubes are a viable building material.
Ever fall prey to an end-cap at Sur La Table? Ever rationalize a late night info-mercial? Ever been a victim of a well-intended gift for "the cook that has everything"? From Orange peelers to shrimp de-veiners, what are your favorite kitchen one-trick ponies?
