I love giving people food - there's a particular joy in it, especially when it's something thoughtful and special. I'd like to try and expand the range of gifts I can give - any good ideas or favorites? I will say, I just made matzo brittle and gave it as a gift for Passover. It was so tasty and looked beautiful!

I also made popcorn with white truffle oil for the Superbowl. It was so delicious, none of us could stop eating it! It made me think flavoring your own popcorn would be a great way to do an easy snack for a party or anytime. I'm thinking of trying sage popcorn, and curry popcorn. What are some good ideas for other popcorn flavors?

I want to make some molasses crinkles for Christmas (I love the spice). Right now I only have blackstrap molasses and virtually every recipe that calls for molasses specifies "not robust/blackstrap." Does anyone know if I can substitute it without a problem? Also, do you have any favorite uses/recipes for this sweetener?

There's a really great sustainable hog farm near me and I've tried several of their cuts of meat (the bacon is so good!). This week, I bought ground pork. I'm just re-incorporating meat into my diet after a few years of vegetarianism - does anyone have any delicious ideas for what to do with ground pork?

Due to an accident while riding my bike on Monday, I now have a fracture in the bone above my teeth. It's really uncomfortable to chew, but I'm getting sick of and depressed by the same soup and ice cream. I think it would make the rest of the week more fun if I could still enjoy being in my kitchen and make something I can actually eat. Everyone always has great recipes, how about some fun ideas for food my injured mouth can handle?
