What Makes a Good Barista?

Those are tremendous achievements! I would love to learn more about coffee, but your tone seemed so condescending. Almost as if "us Americans" don't have the intellect to learn about what great coffee is...maybe that could be a new venture for you.

I do admit I was snarky with my comment, I apologize, and such a tone was not called for and beneath me.

How do you eat your sweet corn?

The cob itself isn't vertical, that would pretty funny to see actually. I eat it up and down around the cob and then move on instead of going across the cob.

Do You Wash Melons Before You Eat Them?

Definitely, cantaloupes are notorious for being one of the dirtiest fruits out there and they are very difficult to clean because of their rough outer rind.

Wow, someone's getting a little too big for their britches!

I'm a vertical girl for the most part, only horizontal on occasion. And I wouldn't dream of putting anything on a perfect cob of sweet corn. If it needs butter or salt its not worth eating! :D

'Nightline' Reveals Supposed Secrets of 'Iron Chef America'

What I would like to know is how the Challengers pick their Iron Chef. Do they really get their pick? Or is it just based on who is available or who makes for bigger ratings? I usually catch it 1-2 times a month and either Flay or Batali are at the helm. Am I missing all of Cora's episodes?

Espresso on Ice Is Not OK, and Other 'Restaurant Policies'

I'm not sure where I sit on this issue. I loathe thinking of a steak being cooked past medium rare, but my favorite cousin will not touch a steak unless it is well done. I would never not serve her a well-done steak.

But I am not a restaurant and cooking steaks does not earn me a living. So, I guess I'm leaning towards letting a business owner run his or her business in the manner they choose.

Bobby Flay's Burger Chain Opens on Long Island: Bobby's Burger Palace

PB&J with chips - that's sounds so good in such a devilish way!

@Adam - So Burger Palace doesn't conjure up visions of gooey ball pits and kiddies running around with plastic superhero toys? :D

Bobby Flay's Burger Chain Opens on Long Island: Bobby's Burger Palace

Original Lays was my chip of choice for sandwiches when I was grade school. I think a crunchy blue corn tortilla chip sounds great for a burger.

@Laryssa - I agree with you on the name, too fast-foodish, makes me think of Burger King...

chick peas - main dish ideas required

I have had great success with Bittman's Simplest Bean Burgers and he has so many variations on the theme that you could go crazy with different combos.

I don't have access to How to Cook Everything Vegetarian, but I bet you could just google the recipe name and someone has posted it on a blog.

Photo of the Day: Fried Morels

This photo brings back memories. When I was growing up in Kansas my parents and I would go foraging for morels in our backyard woods. I remember my mother frying them once or twice, but most of the time she would just saute them with butter. They were heavenly!
