Taste Test: Crunchy Peanut Butter, Stir

Stir it up first time you open it, then refrigerate--take it out and let it warm up, and you're good to go--won't really need oil-distribution stirring again.

Philadelphia: Beer With a Side of Burger at South Philly Tap Room

I understand the difficulties of rectifying an underseasoned burger, but what's so hard about applying salt to fries when they arrive tableside?

The Food Lab Thanksgiving Special: Ultra-fluffy or Rich and Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Creamy! Though I certainly wouldn't turn up my nose at the fluffy variety.

From Talk

dinner guests requesting a certain dish?

It may be complimentary, but it certainly is presumptious (yes, the request can be both). If you had given them some choices of possible entrees among which was the Thai chicken, that would be one thing...

Spice Hunting: Charnushka

The seed pods are funny looking, but the flowers themselves are quite pretty...aka "love-in-a-mist"

Slice Poll: Do You Blot the Grease from Your Pizza?

I can assure you that the pizzas I have blotted are not using good cheese/whole milk mozzarella. As for finding a better pizza, try living in a place where your choices are limited to chains or homemade (and I've had some not-very good homemade, though I wouldn't blot them) I can also assure you that I am not a fat-o-phobe & challenge anybody to match my love of butter/cream/fat/oil--in the right application.

What Are the Best Drinks to Mix with Bourbon?

Whisky sours; Old Fashion[ed]s. But otherwise, I like it on the rocks.

Pork Tenderloin - desperate for new recipe ideas

I like to coat it with dijon, chopped garlic & thyme (rosemary works here, too) and roast

Sugar on Snow

ProfessorChaos: It was always pretty special for us, growing up in Va (where I still am), though there were a few years when we got lots of snow. We're supposed to get 6-12 inches, so maybe I'll make some, too...

From Talk

Sugar on Snow

Anybody ever make snow ice-cream? : fresh snow, (powdered?)sugar, vanilla and cream folded together. Have not had it since I was a child...
