Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 94: Too Many Chocolate Chip Cookie Taste Tests
Spit out the cookies?! WTF.
Can we be rational here? Take one small bite from each cookie. (Or actually, break off one small bite of cookie so you don't have to throw the rest away.)

It always ends up being the cranberry sauce.

Ma Peche, 'Momofuku Midtown': Tien Ho Is a Peach of a Chef
Oh, and the house banh mi wasn't very good. Some slack because they are just opening up, but really, that sandwich was nothing to write home about. There are better versions in Brooklyn for $4.
Ma Peche, 'Momofuku Midtown': Tien Ho Is a Peach of a Chef
You neglect to price any of these items, but I'll do it for you because as Ma Peche is inside the Chambers Hotel, you are working with hotel food prices.
First, the Midtown Lunch specials are only on weekdays and for a limited time. We found this out when we went on Saturday.
Bahn Mi $10 (just a six inch sandwich, no side, no garnish)
Pork rice noodles $18
Burger w/ fries $16
The 4 cookies and milk $10 (!)
In other words, this stuff (like the downtown Momos) are overpriced for what you get. Unless you get multiple items, expect to be hungry with these portions.

The Silver Palate Cornbread-Sausage Stuffing is a classic.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
I too prefer olives in their oil iteration.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Taco night.
But I never win these things.
Cakespy: Leftover Halloween Candy Pie
This is a disgusting waste of candy by people who have too much.
Instead, why not send excess Halloween candy to the troops overseas by putting together a care package. It will be appreciated.
Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
Hate admitting that it's Eater because of the NY food gossip.
And Chez Pim.
Watch It with Us: 'Top Chef Las Vegas,' Ep. 9
Poor Bryan V and Ashley don't get their photos in the collage above? That's a little mean.

ribollita. and i could use a bowl right now.
Q&A with a 'Top Chef' Season 5 Crew Member
The worst season of the bunch, including the current one. Full of weirdos, pretty boys and cryers. Stefan was the only one who could cook, damning with faint praise. The rest were useless frycooks. The fact that Hosea ended up winning is a black mark for the show for its duration. He doesn't deserve to stand with Stephanie, Hung or Harold (though Ilan is almost as lame).
This season has much better contestants, performing at a much higher level. At least 5 decent contenders for the prize.
'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' Cupcakes
Very clever. And something that can be replicated at home.
Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'
My favorites are all the Korean soups -- seaweed, tofu, kimchee, soon dooboo, dduk, etc. They're all good, I can't choose one. And pasta fagioli too.
Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'
Porky fatty crispy goodness
Photo of the Day: Maximus/Minimus's Pig Truck
They should paint it pink.
The Hamburger Cushion, on Etsy
My only complaint is that the meat patty and the bun look the same. Frankly, I asked for medium rare.
Baja Fresh Rips off Kogi Truck with 'Baja Kogi' Tacos
"Baja" is Spanish, "kogi" is Korean (and phonetically spelled), so absolutely Kogi BBQ should sue the pantalones off those Baja Fresh a-holes. Why not called it "Baja Carne" or "Baja Manzo" or "Baja Meat" if they weren't deliberately ripping off Kogi and trying to deceive customers?
Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'
Baking success: baking under time pressure. The few times when I barely had enough time to whip something up, flying by the seat of my pants, and still being able to pull off a not-too-bad success.
Otherwise, I was rather proud of my first really good fluffy souffle. I was rather young.
Cook the Book: 'The Barcelona Cookbook'
Most memorable? Can't think of too many since they were always a prelude to late nights that were much more notable. Perhaps not tapas, but there's nothing like coming out of steaming hot Spanish club sweat dripping from your brow into the dark of early morning, and trudging to a little stand to have fresh fried churros and rich liquid chocolate. Yum.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Has to be the stuffing! It's the only time of the year I make it. And ooooh so good the nest day- IF it makes it!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
My favorite Thanksgiving side is cornbread-sausage stuffing. So rich, so good!
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 94: Too Many Chocolate Chip Cookie Taste Tests
Agree with RJ Foodie, the word diet is a 4 letter word to me, just brings up all sorts of bad associations including the word, bad...
Of all the foods, who can blame u for too many C3's........
Go play some squash, drink some water and reset your internal eating barometer....try on some of your old pants and keep Thinner around....
And have a happy T-day!!!!

Stuffing! We love stuffing!

I love the fresh and fresh tasting cranberry and orange relish. Yum.

Green bean casserole, it's not really special but we only have it twice a year. I guess that's what makes it special.

My favorite Thanksgiving side is stuffing with gravy.

Sausage and cornbread stuffing. Yum!
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 94: Too Many Chocolate Chip Cookie Taste Tests
@Pupster - There's something about biting into a cookie that makes it more enjoyable. Perhaps it's the knowledge there are more bites to come?
@Ed - 2 lbs isn't horrible. If presented with a choice between cookies or 2 less lbs, I'd choose cookies. You can always exercise a little more tomorrow.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Fried Turkey, stuffing and gingersnap gravy in one bite. By far my favorite holiday as it is truly THE holiday for food lovers! I can't wait!!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Oyster stuffing. Tough part, finding enough people who aren't oyster-phobic...
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Gotta go with roasted garlic mashed potatoes. I could eat it all.

green bean casserole, from scratch of course!

Report from SE World Headquarters: Ed showed admirable restraint in this week's tasting. :)
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 94: Too Many Chocolate Chip Cookie Taste Tests
I agree with betteirene--it's darn cold outside and all I want to do is crawl in bed with a huge bowl of mashed potatoes...fie on the winter!
And hey, how do you NOT gain weight tasting cookies all week? Jeez!
2 pounds is nothing...you've come so far, and one week can't take that away.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
My moms - potatoes, summer savory and crushed crackers, also includes tons of butter and a few onions - I miss stuffing since it started killing people :(
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 94: Too Many Chocolate Chip Cookie Taste Tests
Ed - "get right back on the diet horse"....the word diet worries me. I am under the belief that the only way you can master the weight thing is to not think in terms of diet. Diet implies restrictions and bad stuff. I don't like the word "lifestyle change", either, though. I am sure you will be back down those few pounds soon...but you may want to rethink your use of the word diet...just a thought. :-)
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
I love homemade warm applesauce!! That and the apple pie are my favorite part of Thanksgiving. I don't like most of the other food including the turkeY!
Thanks for the giveaway!

I'm having trouble reading this post. I can't take my eyes off the cookie.
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 94: Too Many Chocolate Chip Cookie Taste Tests
@marchpane - that made me laugh. ed, i so admire you for putting all of this out there, be it a good week or a bad one. i don't think i could do the same. holiday season is, as we all know, tough for everyone - i have thanksgiving immediately followed by my birthday, which amounts to a multitude special meals with loved ones. my main goal is to enjoy life and food while making reasonable sacrifices where i can. for example, having seriously delicious food on only TWO days of "birthday week" instead of four or five. and please keep up the cookie testing - conducting that research is a most valuable service for all new yorkers, and we appreciate it and all that you do!

This year it will be pumpkin ravioli with sage brown butter sauce.

Still a fan of sautéed brussels sprouts with bacon.

I second the hibernation comment - all I've been wanting to do these past two weeks are sleep and eat cheese.
