Grocery Ninja: Pomelos aka the Answer to 'What on Earth Is That?'
Thank you SO much for this article! Having never had one, I enjoyed your story helping me define this jumbo mysterious citrus fruit. Shortly after reading this, I saw a pomelo in Whole Foods. The peeling of the fruit can be a bit laborious, but is worth every bit! The way the juice was misting from the fruit's pith as I peeled it, the scent with which it filled the apt. (even unpeeled, it's pretty yummy scented!) & the light citrusy flavor was amazing! I bought another 1 the next time I went to Whole Foods. For now on when I see this delicious fruit, there will always be 1 in my bag to take hm.!!! Thx SO much!

Tomatoes to be sprinkled w/ salt & eaten like the juiciest of apples! SLURP! & Then to be made into salsa, then tomato sauce, then slices, then... :)

What Does This Chicken Nugget Say to You, Hm?
I believe there to be 3 basic nugget shapes:
Diamond-shaped--"wing"
Boot-shaped--"leg"
Round-shaped--"breast"
& That's why my nickname is Nugget...I'm a nugget connosseiur...well not if I can't spell it. ;)

Cook the Book: Seven-Layer Bean Dip
I've never made 7 Layer Dip before. From what I knew about it previously, this is not the avg. recipe. It did take me a while to prepare this dish, but I also made the guacamole...well, sort of...I used a pkgd. seasoning adding 2 avocados to the mix. The recipe called for a 13" X 9" pan, but w/ my exp., I wished I'd used a taller, smaller dish instead. Measurement-wise, the diff. layers didn't seem to easily cover the layer beneath. But I also understand the concept of dipping one's chip into the dip & grabbing the flavor of ea. of the 7 layers. The chili powder seems a bit much, but then again, I'm waiting for the unveiling this evening to taste-test this. I'm very xcited re: this dish tonight as I'd never made bean dip before. Thank goodness for my Cuisinart!!! The bean dip is delicious & would be great solo next time! Thx so much for the recipe!
Cook the Book: 'The Tex-Mex Cookbook'
Chili or Rotel dip!!! I think the key is usually something hearty & fattening to get the full Super Bowl effect, esp. after watching all the junk food commericals thru out the game.
Cook the Book: 'The Vegetable Dishes I Can't Live Without'
Butternut squash w/ goat cheese & pecan gratin...mmm...SO delicious!
Alton Brown Extends Contract with Food Network
As geeky as he is, I love his scientific, basics approach to cooking. He breaks everything down to the base of a recipe & builds from there. Even my bf has started getting into the Food Network b/c of Alton Brown!
Cook the Book: 'The Food You Crave'
Waldy's cracker crust thin vongole pizza. It does have a decent amt. of olive oil, but that's the good kind of fat. I think the enormous amt. of garlic would do away w/ my current cold as well!

Could this be considered kosher bacon? :) I'm afraid I'd crave bacon profusely every time I wore this!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage
Wilson's BBQ in Tulsa, OK where their motto is "You need no teeth to eat our beef." The true test of any BBQ in my book is the white bread test: If the sauce stands up on its own by sopping it up w/ white bread, that's some tasty BBQ. Wilson's passes w/ flying colors! Try the hot links & bologna w/ a qt. of beer!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
Crispy, semi-burnt, meaty, fatty, chewy. I think even limp, lame bacon is delicious. Heck, I even love bacon in my choc. like the Vosges bacon chocolate bar. Mmmm...bacon (pronounced BAY-CONE)!!!

Dark, rich, delicious chocolate for me please! :)
where should i eat tonight in the LES?
Next time you're looking for some Chinese food on the Lower East Side, take a group of friends to Congee Village. VERY reasonable top-shelf drinks, inxpensive fare, great communal dining & decent authentic grub! I miss living on the LES for this reason alone! :)

Mmm...goat cheese!
Cook the Book: Seven-Layer Bean Dip
I use a large round serving platter to make my layered dips on. You can spin the plate while evening out with a knife, the beans, guacamole and sour cream. Thanks for the recipe.
Alton Brown Extends Contract with Food Network
First of all, I happen to think he's almost as handsome as my husband, who incidentally, is Prince Charming reincarnated. I met Alton in Cincinnati, he's even more charming, sincere, and witty than he is on TV. He meets you with a genuine smile, and makes you feel like you are the only person in the room. I only watch FN for his shows, because every other piece of crap on that channel has women showing their breasts, food that looks like slop, or men with no character using ingredients I'd never use. If they ever drop Alton, the channel will lose many viewers. Kids watch his show, so I"m glad he doesn't feel the need to use sexual overtones, flash any type of cleavage, or act like some oversexed grandmother. Alton is FN's saving grace.
What Does This Chicken Nugget Say to You, Hm?
@Nugget: Serious Eats actually took a field trip to the McD's across the street and found the same three general shapes!
We thought it bizarre that there's not just one cookie-cutter design, but three, and they mix them all up to approximate randomness.

If I could - I would grow bell peppers, we go through them so quickly. But the deer around here would eat them all and if they didn't get to them, the rabbits, raccoons and other "critters" would!

I'm thinking about cucumbers and tomatoes. I eat these every single day, so I might as well grow my own. Thanks!

Basil! I just love basil.

Now that I'm "older", I have several small raised gardens. I have no room for sweet corn, but still grow tomatoes, green peppers, radishes, lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, green beans and a few squash and zucchini. I also have a small strawberry bed. It's surprising how much you can grow, just in small gardens and everything tastes so much better, then what you buy.
Cook the Book: The River Cottage Cookbook
If I had a garden, I'd grow tomoatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, carrots, and garlic. My favorites. I'd also want strawberries.
