@ chiff0nade, Well I'm actually a psychiatric nurse so I'm killing two birds with one loaf :)

Yeah, I doubt I am going to try and bake some a couple of times a week, quick question, does anyone know of a way in which I can freeze some dough in advance for a quick bake? or at what stage I can freeze it? I mean, fresh baked is ideal i know but I was wondering.

Lamb and Mutton


I have recently really enjoyed Jamie Olivers new program; Jamie at Home. In the first episode of the second series, he talks all about lamb, with some amazing recipes, you may be able to get some of them on youtoobe if you search hard enough.

ps.
Marmite > Vegemite :)

The Power of Suggestion

I will see what I can do! You should really think about starting a campaign to try and get one opened near by, or move house :)

Its true Donut love is a pure kind of love, and as such deserves a place in every major ceremony, be it a marriages or a Bar Mitzvah.

Its about 10:00 here and its a beautiful spring day, certainly a day for a dozen donuts in the park!

The Craziest Food Ever: Deep-Fried, French-Fry-Coated Bacon on a Stick

This, deep fried Mars bars, bacon pizza,... is the world trying to give me a heart attack!?!

Also, if you like sushi - I think Sushi Yasuda has some of the best in the city. If you sit at the sushi bar when chef Yasuda is there, he will make the sushi the right size so you can eat it comfortably in one bite. And he makes his own wasabi! Yum.

@mrsbao - After seeing that ep of Throwdown, I put Levain on my list too. That cooky looks amazing and to have people so focused on their bodies and health endorse (and create) these cookies only makes me more anxious to try one!

For Arthur Ave, I just went to Robertos and the pastas in particular were awesome. It was at night so I didn't get to explore, but I am excited to go back.

If are looking for wonderful sweets around Levain, GROM gelato is also a delicious, wonderful import from Italy.

I would also like to second Di Fara, Chelsea Market and a cheese course at Murrays cheese - all extremely fun. Katzs will also always be one of my favorites. I would be less excited by Balduccis or Dean and Deluca, as they aren't that different from their stores nationwide.

I agree with the Tottono's/Coney Island rec but be aware that the Cyclones (Mets minor league team) season doesn't open for another month and a half. Also -- if you decide to take the trip to DiFara go in the late afternoon on a weekday or be prepared to stand in line for at least an hour.

Red Hook – get food at the ballfields and then get key lime pie at Steve’s Key Lime Pies on the pier
Coney Island – ride the rides, play some games, get hot dogs at Nathan’s, get pizza at Totonno’s
Union Square Greenmarket on Saturday Morning
South Indian food on Lexington b/w 26th and 28th – my vote goes to Madras Mahal
Korean food in K-town – lots of great places b/w 5th and 6th Aves and 32nd and 36th streets. I like Cho Dang Gol
Essex Market on Essex and Delancey (Lower East Side) – lots of great vendors including Saxelby Cheesemongers
Katz’s Deli for corned beef sandwiches (Lower East Side)

Don’t go to DiFara’s – the waits are exceedingly long (2 hours or so) and if you’re only in NYC for three days, you don’t want to waste 2 hours in line!

Definitely dim sum -- we love Nice Restaurant (yup, that's what it's called) on East Broadway in Chinatown.

Chelsea Market -- love it all, but make sure you get a loaf of semolina bread with golden raisins from Amy's Bread... it will change your life...

Visit Jacques Torres and have a spicy hot chocolate. The best way to do it is to go to the one in Dumbo and walk with it to Brooklyn Bridge Park to enjoy the spectacular view of Manhattan.
