Do Gals Eat Less When Guys Are Around?

I eat more around my boyfriend, as is evidenced by whatI call my "Scott 15."

Serious Heat: Mustards to Spice Up Labor Day Cookouts

Colman's mustard is my favorite, but I've been dying to try Philippe's. Is there anywhere on the east coast I can find it (I can't bear to spring for the shipping...)

Compiling recipes for a family cookbook - advice?

I did mine through Heritage Cookbooks, the program is really easy and the books came out beautiful, I definitely recommend it. http://www.heritagecookbook.com/

My boyfriend and I had the best mussels in a tapas bar in Boston, and I wish I could remember the place!

Dear Food Network, Please Stop

This is exactly how I feel about FN. I used to watch it all the time, marathon style. It makes me very sad, actually.

Costco Will Accept Food Stamps at Two NYC Locations

I just read a great article on how expensive it can be to be poor, for example not having a car and therefore buying overpriced bread and milk from the corner store instead of a big grocery store. This might be a good way for people to stretch their dollars, even with the membership fee, and maybe they could afford better quality food?

Long Flights - BYOF?

I even bring food on short flights. It gives me something to do.

What do you miss? (to: expats and others!)

Real Mexican food from when I lived in Oaxaca. Why is there no good Mexican food in the northeast?!

Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry's Tomorrow

I'm glad someone's still doing this. I noticed that Dunkin' Donuts changed their "free iced coffee day" to "50 cent iced coffee day" this year. Stupid economy!

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 63: Do All Doctors Want to Be Food Writers?

I am in medical school and I have about 50 cookbooks on my bookshelf and about 5 medical textbooks thrown on my laundry room floor somewhere. And when I am in class, I am actually looking at serious eats and tastespotting.

Top Ten Worst Halloween 'Candies'

I disagree about a lot of the candy items mentioned here.
I, for one, LOVE the fun-sized (or mini, if you prefer) candies. It's a tiny bit of something insanely tasty, enough to give pleasure without causing tummy pains. When I was a young'un and I went trick-or-treating, one house gave out mini Clark bars. Yum-o-delish! I polished those off first.
I think the chewy peanut butter kisses taste absolutely divine.
Candy corn, I think is plenty of tasty, as are the candy pumpkins made of candy-corn base. Think little dollops of hardened cake-frosting.
As for apples and raisins, those I didn't mind in the least.

However, some items, I do agree about.
Toothbrushes -- a boring reminder
Religious pamphlets -- disappointing and WEIRD to boot.
Packages of "normal" food -- oh, for crying in Manhattan, what kid wants to receive a can of baked beans or a box of oat bran in his little plastic jack-o-lantern.
One time I received cough drops -- and not the Ludens or Pine Bros or Smith Bros or F&Fs, which are tasty and could pass as hard candy (as can the Ricolas). These were nasty little green pellets that were -- and tasted like -- MEDICATION. Like I said, for crying in Manhattan! For crying in Manhattan, Chicago, and San Francisco

Oh well. At least I didn't get a ROCK

If I didn't live in an apartment building with no kids in it I'd be giving out and full sized candy bar AND a red bull to every kid. HAHAHA!!! HALLOWEEN IS FOR KIDS! SUCK IT PARENTS!

Mine is my awesome Chicken Tortilla Soup. I throw in all kinds of things, from fried tortilla strips to guac.

I'm a simple kind of lady, so my favorite soup is homemade chicken noodle. I like to make it with escarole and egg noodles. It's just so delicious.

Currently I crave the Thai Suki after reading all this. I'm sad that I never see it in the states. My fav place in Thailand is MK restaurants. Super cold restaurant, super hot soup!

Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'

homemade soups, starting with meat bones and ending with seasonal vegetables....the best! takes hours to simmer on the stove...but the end results are used in so many meals...the simplest being laddled into a big bowl and with a crusty bread on the side.

When I went to stay with my aunt and uncle this past summer, my aunt's mom made potato bacon soup for dinner one night. It was delicious! :)

growing up, my mother made the best borsht. It was full of potatoes and meat and was so good and hearty.

My favorite meal worthy soup would be homemade bean soup with ham and bacon in it. I make it with a ham bone and let it simmer for about 3 hours. Very tasty and filling. I also like my mom's homemade vegetable soup with fresh veggies from the garden! Mmm good!

My Momma liked to make big ol pots of soups and stews. All us kids and our kids would come over and eat. Sometimes she'd be creative and add different things. My Daddy would smell it and come in and ask what she was cooking. She would tell him she was making "stuff". It was funny. She was a great cook.

Nothing beats a rich, hearty samgyetang (Korean chicken stew made with ginseng, medicinal herbs and a tender guinea hen stuffed with sticky rice and plump red jujubes).

My fav. meal worth soup is a big bowl of old fashioned home made chicken stew with veggies

From Serious Eats

Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'

I love to make a Korean soup made with fresh chicken cooked in water and spiced with plenty of grated fresh ginger. The chicken is shredded, and a cup or two of cooked rice is added to the broth and cooked until the soup has the consistency of "chowder." Serve in Oriental bowls and garnished with sliced green onions and Korean sesame salt. Delish, and very healing if you are suffering from respiratory "flu."
