flour types in spring roll wrappers?

I realize getting dim sum at a restaurant might be difficult, but can you not just buy pre-made wrappers at a grocery store?

They're Giving Guy Another Show?

When he's doing DD&D it's okay because he never ends up cooking himself. But his talent is obviously pretty thin once he has to prepare food. I too hate the "street" speak he endlessly blabbers, sounds like the dialog was taken from 7th grade homeroom. I guess we'll end up doing a 180 and the only place to get decent food info will be PBS all over again, albeit with a bare bones, communist bread counter appearance.

Fresh Peaches

Peach Cobbler of course. And here is THE EASIEST recipe I've ever seen. If you start prep'ing at the point you preheat the oven, you will most likely be ready before the oven is, and it's awesome. Just be sure to have some vanilla ice cream on hand.

Finally, figs!

Though I haven't made it myself, a lot of folks recommend bacon or procuitto wrapped figs with feta/blue cheese stuffed inside, drizzled with olive oil and then baked for an appetizer.

Little Italy: Suggestions for teens w/ little cash?

The whole of Little Italy is "American-Italian." Ill conceived recipes and sloppy execution are what makes trash.

'Next Food Network Star' Runner-Up Lisa Garza Also Handed Her Own Show

Amen PerkyMac - - she is the only one of the finalists that could teach me something I didn't already know. I miss that sort of serious knowledge base to draw from. I used to get that primarily from David Rosengarten's show (I think the name was "Taste" - but it's not even on in re-runs where I live). He was really mind blowing with his knowledge of ingredients and technique. Alton Brown is of course similarly equipped with information. It's curious to me how many folks get their aprons in a bunch over the appearance of Lisa. I'd like to see you send food back at a restaurant because you aren't moved by the chef's hair style. I like when people involved in food prep try to look presentable and clean. There's a Subway near my office I won't go near due to all the bohemians behind the counter with more holes in their bodies than the swiss cheese they serve. Sure, Lisa's squinting was admittedly odd at times, but I'll take that over being told for the millionth time that Aaron's cooking is "BIG AND BOLD Y'ALL." Wildly vacuous.

weird sandwich making rituals

I do nut butter bread unless it's going to be toast. Can't think of a sandwich I like with butter on it. However, my mother has always buttered English Muffins before toasting. Then she adds cream cheese on top of the butter. As a child, I had no frame of reference as far as muffin condiments go. Now that I am older, I find it a little hard to eat the muffins when visiting home.
