Telepan: Another Good Answer to the Brunch Question

I like Nice Matin, but you probably knew about them already. It reminds me of Balthazar, but the food is better and less expensive.

Which Plain Potato Chip Rules? What's Your Favorite?

I think Zapp's (in New Orleans) is pretty good, although they have artificial flavors in the crawfish variety.

Grom Gelato: The New Drug

What, it's free? If I knew, I would have gone on opening day! Ice cream is my undoing in the sumer, too.

What's the best bite you had this weekend?

The original ssam from Momofuku Ssam. It was salty and fatty (two things I normally hate), and boy was it heaven. Tasted just like an Asian burrito.

Cook the Book: 'The Silver Palate Cookbook, 25th Anniversary Edition'

Joy of Cooking. Never made anything bad from it, and it's comprehensive.

Question of the Day: How do you scream for ice cream?

I bought Haagen Daz's light candied cone ice cream today. (It took half an hour because the people at Gristede's are so slow!) Delicious! The caramel swirl is really smoky.

My favorite national brand, though is Ben & Jerry's because they have gobs of stuff in there. Haagen Daz is too smooth for me.

I also am just about to buy an ice cream maker and try the recipes from The Perfect Scoop, David Lebovitz's new book. I eat so much ice cream in the summer that the machine is probably a good investment.

Does chocolate count? I like tofu. I eat it scrambled, creamed (tastes just like ricotta!), raw and cubed, silken and pureed (great pudding base), or marinated. Yummm.

Nutella of course! For breakfast, I like to microwave old fashioned oats with half a banana. Then I smear Nutella on top (the heat makes it all gooey) and sprinkle flax seeds on top. It smells just like banana bread. It's pretty healthy: there's no added sugar, lots of fiber and omega-3s!

Here's My Favorite Brownie Recipe—What's Yours?

A ha hahaha, a "bakeur!" My favorite recipe is "Michael's Brownies" from Alice Medrich's Chocolate and the Art of Low-Fat Desserts. Doesn't taste low-fat at all. They are really chewy and crusty.

Peanut Butter and Jelly: A Serious Eats Special Report

That's hilarious, conducting a scientific experiment on the optimal filling ratio. I'm guilty of making "tea sandwiches." I probably put a scant Tbsp of PB in mine. My favorite commercial PB is Jif (I like the creaminess and molasses flavor), but I like my homemade PB the best. Hey, how come you didn't test Peanut Butter and Co.'s brand? Is it not national?

I miss Fluffernutters! It was a college staple of mine.

Crunchy PB (preferably all-natural with no hydrogenated oils), sliced banana and honey between slices of seven-grain or whole wheat bread.
Has anyone ever tried/made/know where to purchase peanut butter-banana ice cream?

Deep-fried, y'all.

Peanut butter and butter is good.

Peanut butter and honey is best with a sprinkle of wheat germ, especially when toasted in a skillet like grilled cheese.

Peanut butter and cream cheese is good too.

Peanut butter and Nutella...oooohhhh...

Even with "scientific ratios", we all have our favorite ways of doing PBJ! To toast or not to toast? ... depends on my mood. Rye bread is my favorite with apricot preserves. Ooohhhh! I had forgotten all about using marshmallow fluff. Yum. I never understood the use of butter with peanut butter. For those of you who did, or still do, eat PB accompanied by butter, I hope there is a cardiologist in your family!

I'm shocked no one has mentioned peanut butter and fluff! What could be better than cheap-o wonder bread, crunchy Skippy, and an equally thick layer of marshmallow fluff? My favorite!

Peanut Butter and Jelly: A Serious Eats Special Report

I do not like PB&J or J or PB or bread with anything but butter (if it is toasted otherwise plain). The combination of textures and flavors just grosses me out...
I also don't like cake and ice cream together.

sunflower seed butter for me!

Peanut Butter and Jelly: A Serious Eats Special Report

Personally, I could never do the toasting...all around texture should be mushy (no crunchy PB), so that I could eat it if I had just lost my two front baby teeth.
And I'll take mine with the crusts cut off, please.
