@bobbob - I suspected as much, but you never know; we Brooklyn-bred girls are pretty defensive (especially with respect to claims that we and Long Island are one and the same).

@ bobbob - Long Island isn't technically part of Brooklyn at all. If anything it would be the other way around, since Brooklyn resides on Long Island, but it is a completely distinct entity for all intents and purposes other than geography.

Bagels & Pizza in the East Village

though not really a by-the-slice type affair (and costing more), you can get your pizza "a libretto" at motorino, which means you get it folded up and in parchment paper, to-go. the cheapest option is $9, but it's so much better than your standard slice is going to be, and it's a whole pie.

Does one need a microwave?

I don't have a microwave and I don't miss it at all.

Serious Cocktails: Women and Whiskey

I'm 26, female, and whiskey-rocks is definitely "my drink," particularly in the fall and winter (when spring and summer roll around, I tend towards good tequila on the rocks). When at a standard bar, I tend towards the Maker's-Woodford types, since they're widely available, but when at a whiskey bar I go for the Blanton's, Bookers, Hudson Baby, etc. Jefferson's Reserve is also phenomenal. I haven't quite developed a taste for Scotch yet, though I'm trying.

The smell, the taste, the smokiness and, of course, the salt.

Good Eats in Shanghai?

In addition to the xiao long bao (which I presume you'll be getting at Nanxiang), I would very, very highly suggest hitting up Yang's fry dumpling for smoe fried soup dumpling action. I was there last summer and those things blew my mind.

Eggs, in various forms, usually. Either poached on top of polenta or some other grain, atop fried rice, or english muffins, or scrambled. Or I'll make myself a big-ass cheese plate.

This is hard! I love broccoli rabe with a bit of pasta, or sauteed oyster mushrooms in some butter and cream and a poached egg with some polenta or good bread, or huevos rancheros, or...i could go on forever.

My Week Without Corn

Jews who stick to a pretty strict Passover regimen do the corn-free challenge eight days a year. It is not. easy.

Serious Heat: Horseradish Heaven

I am definitely going to give this a try. I love raw beets - I make this salad compulsively. It's so good, and healthy enough that I can validate eating far more than any human being should in one sitting.

I love a homemade cornbread stuffing! Nothing beats it.

My nannie always made a casserole of asparagus, green peas, mushroom gravy and cream cheese and loads of cheddar on top. Though I wouldn't eat this any other day of the year, it just isn't Thanksgiving without it.

I love my hubby's grandma's homemade noodles. They are so, so good.

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 moms - potatoes, summer savory and crushed crackers, also includes tons of butter and a few onions - I miss stuffing since it started killing people :(

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!
