The Best Cupcakes in New York City

Love Two Little Red Hens. I got a small cake and a half dozen cupcakes for my birthday and ate about two thirds of it. Twas good.

The Best Chocolate Chips for Cookies

Scharffen Berger 62% is my absolute favorite. The chunks hold their shape but are melted with a rich chocolate flavor. Love.

Hoosier Mama: A Truly Great Big Northern City Pie Baker

These pies look incredible. I'm extremely envious as I can't seem to find decent in central NJ.

Your Favorite Grilled Cheese Sandwich

My favorite is Govind Armstrong's grilled cheese with pulled beef ribs. People don't like calling it grilled cheese but oh well. The Bel Paese with it is so nice.

In Season: Basil

If you really have a ton of basil, make lots of pesto and have some friends over for dinner, featuring the pesto, of course. It's quick, easy, delicious, and versatile. Send everyone home with some of the pesto and freeze any excess in cubes for yourself. Done and done.

I agree with you on the scent, Jerz. I just love it.

'F*** Yeah, Cilantro'

I can only handle cilantro if it's chopped finely. I can't stand the smell of fresh cilantro being cut. It really makes me gag. It's so weird. I'm the same way with Italian parsley. *shrugs*
