International Serious Eats Day: February 25, 2012

I was finally able to set up with MeetUp for the SE meet up on Feb. 25th - takes me a while to understand what to do but eventually I get there - I'll be at Neomonde Restaurant in Raleigh from 2-4 pm and hope to meet other Serious Eaters from the area.

I just added Raleigh NC at Neomonde Restaurant via MeetUp - thought I had listed it on the SE Facebook page but didn't find it there. It would be nice to meet up with other NC people who enjoy SE

The Fresh Market--Anyone have one?

We have The Fresh Market in Raleigh, two as a matter of fact, but we do very little shopping there. Contrary to other opinions, we find their baked goods poor, their breads ditto - produce is certainly not on a level with Whole Foods - fish and meats are overpriced but their chickens are raised without additives and are very tasty - score for FM - they are close to the library and if we need something urgently we will then go in to shop as a matter of convenience.

De Buyer pans?

@rasellersO - just received an e-mail from my daughter with her reactions to your questions -


Buyer pans- love love love it, although i'd buy the next size up

season- take potato peels cover in h2o & boil for 15 minutes
discard heat oil in the pan
wipe clean
there are videos google it & watch- very easy

yes - they really are non stick (once you season them)

does the heat seem to distribute evenly- OMG YES YES YES
this is the best pan ever
I should buy stock in the company- bc in addition to loving the pan I am always promoting it
You will love the first steak or piece of salmon that you sear in this pan- BEST pan ever- oh yeah
said that already

De Buyer pans?

My daughter bought the small frying pan on Amazon and uses it for cooking almost everything. She says she will never buy another brand. Be aware that when they give you the size of the pan they are measuring across the top so the 9 inch pan she thought she was getting was smaller but for one person it is just perfect. So if you are seriously considering the purchase, check out Amazon to see what they have available.

The Nasty Bits: Lamb Ribs

I found a recipe somewhere for roasted lamb ribs also called Detroit ribs all in one piece. and made them. Just some salt and pepper and they were delicious. Now I have to try them braised.. A Halal butcher opened up a year ago not too far from us in Raleigh and they sometimes have them but no other butcher has had them when I asked.

Foodisphere Erupts Over Paula Deen Diabetes Announcement

Let it rest, people. Paula Deen is what she is - a good Ole Southern Gal who likes to indulge in food that we all enjoy (but don't always eat) and now she is paying the price. What I resent about her is selling this tripe to the gullible for big bucks and now being a spokesman for a pharmaceutical which will undoubtedly bring her more big bucks but which could have serious side effects for some people and cause death for others. Paula Deen and her deeds are not worth having a hissy fit over.

jpreezy22 are you still interested in the SE meetup and if so do you have a recommendation of where to meet in Durham? Would appreciate hearing from you or any other Triangle Serious Eaters.

Bake the Book: 'Neue Cuisine'

Sorry but listing one just won't work - Linzer torte, Dobos Torte, Chocolate Poppyseed Torte, Mocha Almond Torte, Poppyseed Almond Torte, Chestnut Torte, Yeast Poppyseed Crescents - a few of my favorite baked goods, to which I would add Day and Night Rice Pudding, crepes with jam, potato noodles with poppyseed and jam - won't list any more but you get the idea.

glass in broiler?

Interestingly, this evening I made Maple Glazed Chicken with sweet potato and onions in an old Pyrex 9x13 pan in a 400 degree oven but turned on the broiler for about five minutes to further brown and crisp the food - no problems but I have to admit as often as I have made this dish, this is the first time I've used the broiler with a glass dish and had some qualms - but all ended well and I'll undoubtedly do it again.

The Kugel? Is it for breakfast or dessert?

any time of the day is fine and a mid-afternoon snack is not shabby.

Nasty outside..Cozy inside. So what are you cooking?

International Serious Eats Day--vote for the 18th or the 25th!
