Homemade Butterfingers

I'm tempted to do this with roasted salted almonds instead of peanuts.

Paleo Diet?

It's pretty easy to follow - it's an anti inflammatory diet and focuses a lot on micronutrients. You'll be eating mostly grass fed products and wild fish (or taking fish oil) and veggies and overall eating more Omega 3's. A lot of Paleo hardcore enthusiasts ignore some of the cholesterol numbers - it might be wise to get a before profile and one after you've been on it a while. There are a good number of cookbooks out there and our library even has a few. I feel better if I don't go so low carbohydrate on it.

The Vegan Experience, Days 7, 8, and 9: A Bit of Nutrition

Kenji - purslane is actually a great source on Omega 3's. Unfortunately most people see it as a weed and kill it and you're not likely to find it in a store, but it's a good vegan source of it.

A Poorman's Birthday Steak Dinner

Try the beer cooler sous vide method - I think it would work well with broiling it in the toaster oven or the hot skillet, and you don't have to worry about it cooking all the way through since it will be cooked all the way through.

The Vegan Experience, Day 0

I wish there weren't such brash generalizations in this post, which is a shame since I typically find Kenji's posts to be well researched and thoughtful. You can be a perfectly healthy human being and still consume animal products and fats. Vegetable oils and fats may be even more harmful than animal fats, especially when oxidized.

13 Cheeses Everyone Should Know

I've always preferred taleggio melted with either pear or mushrooms. I've run into very few cheeses I don't like - Morbier is definitely one of them, and it's happily not on here.

7 lbs of pasta. Suggestions on what to do with it?

Frittatta is great. Another option is to do some sort of peanut or seasme noodles, which can also be eaten cold and tons of veggies can be added.

Pizza in Missouri

I won't repeat Mizbee's and hmw's suggestions (though I opt for the thin crust at Pi).. I also do love a good Shakespeare's!

I'd also add a Blackthorn Pub pizza in there - but you won't be able to eat more than a slice. It's super deep dish. I've also heard good things about JJ Twiggs. Onesto also has good pizza, and they're on the slow food movement.. This is hard for me, there are so many places with good pizza.. Ferraro's has Jersey style.. I could go on...

Need Recommendation for Best Coffee Grinder

That Breville grinder that was reviewed here a couple weeks ago looks ahhhhmazing (it's around $200). I have a KitchenAid ProLine (which is sadly no longer made) but it's pretty awesome, but I really want that Breville.

Pork Roast-How Do I Dress it Up?

Is it a boneless loin? In the past I've dressed up a boneless loin by turning into a rolled loin with chopped garlic and herbs in it. It was a bit of a pain to cut it so it laid flat but was worth it - I could see a filling of proscuitto and cremini in there.

Angel Food Cake

Read the carton carefully - sometimes they say that they aren't suitable for whipping. If it says "egg product" and not "100% egg whites" I don't think it will work.
