Where To Find Fried Pickles on the East Coast
You were in my neck of the woods! I live right down the street !!! The fried green tomatoes are good too. They also have dollar drafts at happy hour which makes for very happy grad students.

I clean my own fish, and pop corn in a pot. Two down, two to go. Maybe I should stop ignoring my copper pots.

Photo of the Day: Individually-Wrapped Bananas, Freaking Us Out
Super Target individually wraps EVERYTHING. I've stopped buying my veggies there because of it. I hated feeling guilty everytime I bought my individually wrapped bell pepper.

Theodore, Alabama: Bayley's
Very interesting. I live near Theodore so I will be checking this out soon.
It's Mardi Gras time! King cake recipes?
I haven't tried it, but read good reviews from Southern Living's recipe. You can find it here:

FDA: Clones Are Safe to Eat
I'm in grad school now, and the subject of cloned animals came up in a lecture. Here's what I got: Cloned mammals are different from plants, b/c they undergo genomic imprinting during gametogenesis. This is a step in development when some genes from the mother/father are turned off in the embryo. Without it you get certain defects (in humans you can get Prader-Wili or Angelman's Syndrome b/c of this). So cloned animals don't go through gametogenesis, meaning their DNA is the same but regulation of how they develop is not normal. You end up with animals that are not identical to the cloned parent. Most of the cloned eggs die, those that live have extreme obesity, breathing difficulties, depressed metabolism, and birth defects. I think purposely creating animals that you know are going to be really screwed up is just wrong. I also don't understand how this can be profitable if most of them will die when implanted. I definately won't be eating it.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Garrison Confections Ultimate Chocolate Cooler
I like milk better, but i'll eat any good chocolate that crosses my path
I eat _____ with my fingers
If no one's around to bug me about it i'll eat anything with my fingers.
Healthy Deep-Fried Oreos: Could It Be?
Healthier as in fewer carcinogens (free radicals and all that good stuff) not healther as in fewer calories. I don't think anyone is silly enough to think that changing the oil will make fried oreo's healthy. Also, unless "anal leakage" sounds fun to you I would steer clear of Alli. That stuff is horrible.
Rainy day food?
It's 93 degrees today, and I'm happy because this is the coolest it's been all week, but I'll give it a shot. Tomato soup and grilled cheese. If it's a really bad day I call my Mom, make sure to sound extra sad, and ask her to make me some chili. It works every time. One of these days I'll make it myself :)
Dinner Tonight: Potato Salad with Vinaigrette
This looks interesting. Normally I had potato salad, but the only kind I've ever had is the stuff that's just a mush of potatoes w/ relish and stuff. Everyone in my family treats it like a delicacy, but I hate it.
Cook the Book: 'The Breakaway Cook'
I'd say cumin. It was one of those things that was never used in my house, but now I use it all the time.
"Alone in The Kitchen....
I don't understand you people! It's all about the sweets. I sometimes whip up a batch of chocolate cupcakes for dinner if no one is around to yell at me about it.
Caution: Some soft drinks may seriously harm your health
This really sucks. I have gone 3 days with no soda and it's killing me. I'm ready to choke anyone who bothers me and my boyfriend may not make it through my withdrawal phase.
Ultimate, culinary dream machine?
I had no clue what a donvier was so I googled it and found one that didn't require electricity. Just go to donvier.com and then to products. They have a hand crank one.
Ultimate, culinary dream machine?
Cheffy, I will have to check out the Viking. I always assumed Kitchen Aid was the best, and I figured I would be saving money by waiting to get a really good one that lasts forever.
Ultimate, culinary dream machine?
I want a kitchen aid mixer. A red one :)
As a student I can't justify the cost just yet.
Question of the Day: What weird things did you like as a child?
I fried bologna and topped it with grape jelly for a very tasty sandwich. I gag at the thought now.
Tortilla press?
Elise from Simply Recipes gave a little tutorial on how to make them. Here it is http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/004141how_to_make_corn_tortillas.php
Best Fried Chicken in Boston?
I love Coast Cafe. Bob the Chef takes second place.
Cook the Book: 'The Perfect Scoop'
Blue Bell's rocky road is my all time favorite.
Post Tamale Stress Disorder
Who knew there was a such thing as a tamale trail? I should check that out. What exactly did this guy say?
