Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
As a child, my parents and I would drive down to Tijuana to drop off clothes to friends in need.
After an act of charity and many hours of wandering around, we'd get ready to head back home. We'd always stop at this one tacqueria along the main exit road before the border.
The people there always recognized us. Very friend. And they made the tortillas fresh... in front of you... before making their yummy carne asada, pollo, or chorizo tacos.
Banning fast food near schools? Your take.
I remember franchises like McDonalds and Pizza Hut sponsoring projects like "Read 100 Books In the Summer". For every X amount of books, you'd get a free personal-sized pizza.
I don't care how close or far away the franchise is. If the school keeps allowing them to "sponsor" events on campus, then the kids will be influenced.
/ate so many tiny pizzas over many summers. *sigh*
Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'
Bittman has helped me lower my meat consumption by giving me a the techniques necessary to incorporate more grains, legumes, and greens into my diet.
Legendary NYC Vegetable Peeler Salesman Joe Ades, 75
I saw Mr. Ades in Union Square and Borough Hall. After 4 years of hearing his pitch, I bought one of those peelers.
God protect the person who breaks or loses it. It's my baby. I love it.
R.I.P. Joe Ades. My condolences to the Ades family.

Maybe this person is hoping the decomposition of these cuts will help encourage truffle-growth underneath?
"A Truffle Grows in Framinham"? Has a nice ring to it.
Win a Free Organic D'Artagnan Turkey Here!
I also have to go with the Drop Biscuits. Much debate this year about what kind to make and I think these will pair well with the menu we've devised.
Pumpkin-Spice Marshmallows
My wife made a bunch of these last night. Today was "cut them up and try them out" day.
Very good, my friends. Well worth the effort!

Dinner Tonight: Chipotle Smashed Sweet Potatoes
Also made this for T-day '07. It was a hit and now I make this regularly. However, if you really want to mess with your guests... make this the day before. The chipotle heat intensifies after 24 hours! Reheat and watch the fun unfold.
