Question of the Day: Summer 'street fair' foods
I second the arepas and the funnel cakes. Plus Asian combos (Thai, Malaysian, etc) -- yum!
Besides SeriousEats, what other fave food sites do you frequent?
I read Amateur Gourmet, Well Fed Network, Smitten Kitchen, Ruhlman, Slashfood, The Knowledge for Thirst, and Scrambled CAKE.
Question of the Day: Do you have food allergies?
I have a shellfish allergy -- no mollusks (clams, oysters, mussels, etc). Luckily, I guess, it is not a life-threatening respiratory issue, just a day-wrecking gastrointestinal horror.
'On Top of Spaghetti' Book Giveaway
My current favorite is penne with an uncooked tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella. Yum!
Question of the Day: What's the best cheese for your grilled cheese sandwich?
Definitely cheddar, usually the sharper the better! With tomato soup, if possible. Yum!
Where to find Dry Monterey Jack cheese?
I'm in the D.C. area, and the only place I have seen dry jack is at the Cowgirl Creamery. Cowgirl has stores on both coasts and also does mail order. Good luck!
Do you know how to use chopsticks?
In 7th grade when we learned about Asia, we were given extra credit if we could eat our lunch with chopsticks. I had used them before, but I got really good at that point.
Recently, I tried to teach my great-aunt how to do it, and she had no success. As with almost everything else, maybe it's just easier to learn when you are young.

Question of the Day: What's the best cheese for your grilled cheese sandwich?
I had a daycare for 28 years, tried everything on those kiddies but their favorite was american. Adults, like to try it with their favorite cheese. I like monterey jack the best. But tomato soup to dunk is the best.
Question of the Day: What's the best cheese for your grilled cheese sandwich?
You haven't had a grilled cheese sandwich until you have had one with smoked gouda. I even make them at work. Toast your bread in the toaster and put butter on it. Lay gouda on the buttered side and top with other buttered side facing cheese. Put in microwave for 30 seconds and you have a delightful grilled cheese sandwich. Now at home of course I put in in a frying pan and I like mine burnt also. And it is heaven dipped in tomato soup. If you have never had gouda it is the best.

Healthy food blogs?
I tried to post this link earlier but it looks like it got taken down.
It is my blog on low calorie food. All of the foods I blog about are healthy -- no high fructose corn syrup, no hydrogenated ingredients. And, most have all natural/organic ingredients. So, low calorie, healthy, food ideas. I've featured fage yogurt, kashi cereal, frozen cherries, and all natural/organic frozen meals. Please let me know if you find the site helpful.
