Cooking from the Glossies: Wild Mushroom Crostini with Thyme Vinaigrette

Far West Fungi has a spectacular black truffle salt for $24. Very intense flavor. Wonder how it would be on this? I can't wait to try this recipe, truffle salt or not.

Mixed Review: Harry & David Key Lime Dessert Squares

Good to know. However, if you get a citrus bar craving and don't want to make them from scratch, Krusteaz makes an excellent lemon bar mix for half the price of what Harry & David's key lime bars mix goes for.

Essentials: Salad With Tomatoes and Grilled Bread (Not Day Old Bread)

I agree the the red onion, balsamic vinegar, and fresh mozzerella. Another favorite vinegar of mine for such things is Trader Joe's orange muscat champagne vinegar. It's wonderfully light, sweet, and citrus-y, and complements fresh tomatoes beautifully.

Photo of the Day: Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

I recently participated in a MoveOn.org bake sale for Barack. One of the other participants made these ice cream cone cupcakes, and folks went wild over them. They were the first item to sell out completely.

Is it Rude to Eat on Mass Transit?

In San Francisco, it's against the rules to eat or drink, but that stops no one. In fact, drinking your morning latte has become de rigeur. I've had coffee spilled on me twice.

I think it's rude to eat or drink on public transit, and I think it's even more rude to do so when rules are posted clearly prohibiting it. --Of course, I also think it's rude to bury your nose in your hand-held device, zone out on your IPod, or yak on your cell phone to the exclusion of your fellow riders. That's another rant, however.
