Cook the Book: Lidia's Italy

I make focaccia from scratch with roasted garlic and rosemary, with thin slices of tomato and grated parmesan baked into it as well. It's like magic.

Gold Twinkies

Why yes, I think I would like to ingest the gold that no longer backs our currency.

Food Tattoos?

A friend of mine has a half-sleeve of a sushi tsunami. Gah, I wish I had a picture of it handy. It's magnificent.

Chicken Salad.

Wookie: Lordy, that sandwich sounds amazing.

Honey Help.

I think your tart will still be good. I love using light wildflower honey because the flavor is gentler than other honeys, like orangeblossom or mesquite, and I prefer that. As long as you like the flavor of the honey you bought, you shouldn't have a problem. The recipe seems to indicate that it requires creamed honey, though, which is definitely different in texture, so I would try to find a similar recipe just in case and compare. (Creamed honey has been whipped until it's crystallized and spreadable, almost like margarine.)

That tart sounds amazing, by the way. I hope it works out!

From Talk

Chicken Salad.

I also poach my chicken breasts with a little white wine, onion, garlic, and a few peppercorns. Instead of chopping the meat, I shred it with my fingers into large bite-size chunks (that's not oxymoronic, is it?), then mix it with a basic dressing of mayonnaise and dijon or whole-grain mustard, and finally toss it all with finely chopped onion, cornichons, and celery.

Chick-fil-A makes their chicken salad with de-breaded fried chicken, and it is amazing. Get it with cheese and it's (weird but kind of) magical. Disclaimer: I worked there for about 8 months a few years ago.

Almond Butter-- what to do?

An almond-butter & blueberry-preserve sandwich, with a little cinnamon sprinkled in it.

It makes the sandwich feel luxurious instead of... y'know. College-y.

Mmm, it's like a deconstructionist's interpretation of a Creamsicle.

Serious Sandwiches: The Gage's Brisket Sandwich

Why do I look at things like this when I'm starving? I think I'm going to swallow my tongue.
