Ooooh, D'artagnan online.
One of my favorite burgers! I wish I had one right now. It's also delicious to add "stinky cheese" to the fries.

@Kaymad: I just checked, and a portion of the proceeds go to charity. Not 100%.
@Leper: It may be more fun to imagine me as a raging man on a fixie with giant plugs in my ears, but I'm actually just a woman who was a year-round bike commuter for many years :-) @Kaymad, while the Two if by Tea cause may be charitable, I find your comparison to Paul Newman odd, simply because I think the general public knew/knows nothing of Newman's political leanings. Limbaugh, on the other hand, is a very devisive figure. I'll leave it at that.
I complained to the grocery store that I know carries this beverage. I find it pretty disgusting that they would help him line his coffers.
Many years ago, my mother was at the grocery store and incidentally, she was wearing a cast for a broken wrist. The "12 items or less" clerk called her over to his lane bacause no one else was waiting. An elderly gentleman, really classy and a true grammar scholar, entered the line behind her and questioned why she was in the 12 minus lane when so clearly she had a full cart. She patiently explained that the clerk had invited her to that particular lane. His response? "You want your other arm broke, lady?"
As far as olive oil goes, I cannot get enough of Arbequina OO right now. It has such a lovely, grassy flavor.
We have an amazing local chain here in Portland, OR, called New Seasons. It really takes a toll on the wallet, though. One of my favorite things about New Seasons is the fact that herbs are available for purchase by the ounce. Awesome.
Top with champagne and you've got my favorite cocktail, the Airmail. Yum!
Podnah's Pit in Portland, OR.
I like to squirt a generous amount in vegetable soup.
My family and I are making Kenji's prime rib, smashed potatoes with herbed goat cheese, roasted brussels sprouts, mixed greens with roasted beets, feta, and candied nuts, Jim Lahey's no-knead bread, and Mozza's butterscotch budino. Preparations are underway!
I like to spice up vegetable soup with it.
Kenji's perfect Prime Rib, for sure. I've made it three times, and that's saying a lot considering the price of prime rib!
How about the beignets at Beaker and Flask? Amazing!
There's a restaurant in Portland called the Farm Cafe which serves the most amazing hazelnuts with rosemary, brown sugar, and tabasco. The recipe was published in Bon Appetit and is available on epicurious.com.
salmon, some sort of roll, raw veggies, and pickled ginger
Gosh, I didn't realize there were so many other cumin lovers out there! My parents don't care for it because is reminds them of B.O.
Love Bitty. I'm looking forward to his new columns, but I'll miss the Minimalist, particularly those 100 item roundups.
I love brown rice with bean chili, nut sour cream, and avocado from Blossoming Lotus in Portland. Yuuuuuum.
Indian Food Made Easy
Lots of roast root veggies, and cabbage and other veggies in soups!
Today I was startled to discover Rush Limbaugh has his own brand of tea. Has anyone actually seen this product stocked anywhere? Apparently the first shipment quickly sold out in my hometown. However, I'm from Cincinnati, so that isn't surprising.
This past summer I was making an italian-inspired farro salad. I noticed a sun-dried tomato vinaigrette recipe on the back of the bag of sun-dried tomatoes and decided to dress the salad with it. The vin ended up being astonishingly delicious, and I'd love to make it again, but apparently I did not save the recipe. I've since examined every brand of sun-dried tomatoes in search of it, to no avail. Aside from vinegar, olive oil, and sundried tomatoes, I'm certain it contained sauteed garlic. Is this recipe ringing a bell for anyone?
This article, http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/12/health/research/12allergies.html, published a few months back, reminded me of how many people now seem convinced they have food allergies. As the child of someone who goes into anaphylactic shock when stung by bees, I understand allergies are very real. However, it seems to me that everyone and their mother claims some kind of allergy or intolerance lately. What gives?

I've been making Lahey's no-knead bread since the recipe was first published in the NY Times. It is always wonderful.
