Have You Ever Deep Fried a Turkey for Thanksgiving?

@RegrettableFoodie - fill the bucket with water first, put in the turkey and that will give you the fill line. After you take the turkey out, be sure to thoroughly dry the inside of the bucket before you add the oil.

Hackney's in Chicago: The Best Underseasoned Mushy Burger in Town

@DanielZemans: Hi Daniel, I came off wrong, it won't be the first time.:) I was weighing the fact that they actually made it rare, which seems to be the first place that "burger joints" err. As a customer, I would have overlooked the lacked of seasoning and been overjoyed that they didn't over-cook it. However, you were there to critique, which is simply what you did. So, I take back the unfair comment.

Black Iron Dude, a Blog about Cast Iron Cookware

I switched from non-stick to CI a year and a half ago with no intention of going back. It takes very little extra effort to maintain.

Do You Like Eating Pie Crust By Itself?

I've always put up with the filling to get at that crust! MMM! Snapping off the golden brown crunchy goodness as a prelude of the goodness to come! MMM!

Hackney's in Chicago: The Best Underseasoned Mushy Burger in Town

It seems that the main problem is in the kitchen, not with the food itself. Not much is said about the flavor, other than "it needs salt". The chips get a poor marks for the same thing? I've never been to Chicago, but this doesn't seem to be a very fair review.

Burgers in Taiwan: A Comedy of Errors

Off topic slightly: After reading this fine review, the thought struck me - Do folks from other countries come here review our take on their food and then blog about it back home? It would be interesting to read what Mexicans or Italians for example, blog back home about the way their foods are served here, instead of the usual bickering amongst the local experts about what qualifies as authentic "insert your cuisine here".
Just a thought.

Great article by the way!

Is this a novice pseudo-vegetarian problem?

Been there...not fun. Intestinal intolerance hits me in much the same you describe. You state you had the Bearnaise sauce and the Cream Spinach. If it's been a long time since I've eaten rich foods such as these, my system would react the same way yours did.

Sous-Vide Cooking with Heston Blumenthal

@J.Kenji Dude, if they can do steaks in these, imagine how good a burger might be?
Slow cook it for a little while, then take it out and brown it up...or it could be a huge fail. Probably hugely dependant on the blend(s) of meat in the burger patty.

Should Bagel Shops Charge For Toasting?

That's ridiculous! I don't think they should. Are deli's next? Too many other places around than to put up with that crap.

Leftovers: The Day's Stray Links

Watch out for contaminated leafy greens, green onions and tomatos are gonna getcha too, oh and don't forget about spinach it's no good anymore either. Don't even think about eating beef or poultry. There's a rice shortage, wait no that's wrong, there's no shortage after all. Limit your honey intake, cause we're running out of bees, they're droppin like flys. Don't even get me started about corn and the evil industry behind it. Plus anything that comes from a big corporation is going to kill as well, 'cause all they're about is making money.
So what's left? Slightly bruised bananas and maybe some bagles.

I feel better now...what's for dessert?

Fluffernutter: Massachusetts' State Sandwich?

The hamburger should be California's state sandwich. McDonalds and In-N-Out, among others, both started in Califorina. Plus it would be cool to stick it to Connecticut and Texas, who both claim to be where the hamburger was invented. It might have been invented there, but it was perfected here. Let the flames begin!

Pizza on the bbq but not on the grill

I love to bake bread and especially pizzas on my grill. I use a cheap pizza stone I got at Big Lots. For thicker crust pizza's I'll use an inverted Wilton baking sheet.There are quite a number of sites with what you're looking for. Some of the ideas that I like suggest using non-leaded pottery to simulate a brick oven on one's grill. The sites are primarily about baking bread (pizza's bread, right?) at home, but they have a wealth of experiences from reader contributions.
My main goto site is: www.thefreshloaf.com

Healthy & Delicious: White Chicken Chili

I realize this post is a bit old, It seems to me that turkey could make a reasonable substitution for the chicken. I've got some leftover turkey that I roasted in my BBQ sitting in the freezer. Anybody have any input before I try it and possibly ruin it? Thanks!

Gluten-Free Tuesday: Teff

30% is plausible. The author is stating this is only for whole grains. In my younger years, I probably went quite some time without eating a single whole grain. I ate alot of processed wheat in white bread, etc. But whole grain? It's possible that I didn't eat any.

Dinner Tonight: Chickpea Salad with Feta and Mint

I know this is a bit late and after the fact, but half a chicken breast lightly sauteed and flavored with a little lemon juice would meet my criteria of a complete meal.

@orchidgirl Mashed potatoes with onion in eggroll wrappers! YUM! I thought my wife and I were so clever to come up with them on our own..guess not. But they are are so good!

Hottest Food Network chick?

I'm always fascinated by Giada's elasti-mouth. She's got the biggest widest smile. When her face is relaxed it's a tiny little mouth with skinny little lips. It almost dissappears. I agree about the head size thing.
Nigella has a pretty face and seems to be a bit naughty, which is fun. But her hair just doesn't move, like it's on the dirty side. I can't get past it.
My vote would have to go to Aida.
