Are the only ones who saw Michael Chiarello squeeze the lemon over his dish using his teeth????

When Jamika gave her tip, she didn't say reuse your marinade the next day, she said reduce it and use it as a sauce for the meat you marinated in it, a perfectly acceptable technique. Tyler wasn't listening carefully and his critique was rude, insulting, and incorrect.
I wanted Teddy to go home more than I wanted Eddie to go home, but I was hoping they'd send both home.

Mixed Review: Thanksgiving Cornbread
I love Jeremy Jone's book and and also Alton Brown's Creamed Corn Cornbread (bonus, it's gluten-free!). You can mix up the dry ingredients for your fav cornbread and store them in airtight containers so they are ready to use when you want to make cornbread. So much better and just as fast as a packaged mix.

It's common if you are dining with Martha Stewart's family. This tip made me laugh out loud.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 25: The Land of Too Much Plenty (And So Much Sharing)
Be sure to try the Ciao Bella Blood Orange Sorbet and the Blackberry Cabernet Sorbet if they are in your stash. They are delicious and their nutrition profile is diet-friendly. I have four pints of the Blood Orange sorbet in my freezer.
Plants in the Kitchen, New Approaches
I've had my Aerogarden for almost a year. Right now, I'm using the Aerogarden Master Gardener kit to grow the herbs that I use the most and also to try my hand at growing Thai basil. The kit made it easy to create my own seed pods. My parlsey, italian basil, cilantro, and Thai basil are growing like crazy.

How Can You Make Valentine's Day Fun Without Pressure?
Our VDay dinner is always at home and is simple and planned around something that goes with heart shaped biscuits. This year I'm branching out to heart shaped cornbread muffins using those heart-shaped foil cupcake liners from Reynolds.

Seriously Delicious Giveaway: Zingerman's Gift Certificate
So hard to pick just one. Gouda (the oldest) from That Dutchman's Farm in Upper Economy, Nova Scotia. The last time we were in Nova Scotia, we took a 200-mile side trip to get some of this cheese.

Mixed Review: Thanksgiving Cornbread
Jiffy is a great thing to have around in case of emergencies. I also love it in my favorite Thanksgiving side, corn pudding http://tinyurl.com/ygprkfc
I use cornbread in my dressing as well, but with other breads in the mix and lots of good stuff, so I make a very simpe recipe and leave it out for a few days to dry up. But for eatin' - it's real southern cornbread in a cast iron skillet cooked with bacon grease all the way!

arbequina olives are my personal favorites - and not just because they're fun to say! as always, feta makes anything taste better and these two go great together

I love ALL olives. The more the merrier. Kalamata, Black, Green, Nicoise bring it on! What a beautiful idea & a great opportunity! I would love to showcase this on my site!

Kalamatas are amazing, but I'm a huge fan of the black Greek/Turkish ones, not sure of the name...

Moroccan oil-cured are my favorite, the wrinkled ugly things.

I actually don't love olives: I like tapenades and things, but am not a huge fan of eating olives by themselves.
...but I sure do love olive oil :)

Yum! Warm mixed olives with fennel, orange zest and Anaheim chile. My favorite olive is the gaeta.

My olive of the moment is garlic-stuffed green. Yum!

I have never meet an olive I didn't love. Since I am just back from Madrid, I will say arbequina olives with a nice red wine at an outdoor tapas bar.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Not really a huge fan of olives but olive oil is a wonderful thing.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
I still remember the first time I had a kalamata olive. I was 13 years old, and my family had decided to picnic with some friends along a river. One person had brought along a bunch of kalamatas and was raving about them. I was eager to try one, but when I did, I thought they were awful. But after eating them at random intervals over the years, I've grown to love them; they're now my favorite :)

been craving saltiness lately and it's been satiated with the kalamata olives. :)

Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
I love olives! My favorite depends on my mood - sometimes cerignola, sometimes arbequina, sometimes picholines, sometimes nicoise, sometimes picual, sometimes manzanilla - give them all to me.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Oh, I love olives so very much. It's a toss-up between a buttery cerignola or the always delicious kalamatas...
