Photo of the Day: Penguin Dumplings
too cute! I love penguins. I wonder what the black part is made of. I think it might be a type of fungus that I have eaten in soups before, I just don't know what the name is.

Can I Take Your Picture?
Guilty...but I can't help taking a picture of my big Pork chop at the little owl. It was the best ever!
Baking with Dorie: Daniel Boulud’s Coffee-Cardamom Pots de Crème
I love pots de creme so much I actually have their little pots with lids.

Question: Does this mean I can skip the saran wrap and use the lids that came with the pots. I was never sure if it was for decoration or it would actually seal the pot when cooking.
Cognac's Kin
I have a bottle in my pantry but have yet to use it. I was planning to use it on some prune-armagnac dessert. I heard that combination is heavenly.
Serious Sandwiches: Chick-Fil-A's Chick-n-Minis
I love chick-fil-a. My new thing now is order a couple of their strips and have it with white rice. And of course if it is breakfast time , I'll have their chicken minis.

How do you grill when you don't have a grill?
Add my "NO" to the George Foreman grill. It's okay for some hotdogs, but definitely no good for steaks. I don't even want to tell you about the grey, steamed NY sirloin that was ruined by the GF grill...it's just too painful.
Anywho, my experiences with the indoor, stove top, grill pans, like you see used on the FN, produce copious amounts of smoke. Good grill marks, good color and flavor, but lots of smoke. The advice above to finish cooking in the oven is smart, but handling a hot grill pan doesn't sound like fun. So if you have a poor vent/hood, I would skip it and go to the park with a little Smokey Joe or mini-Weber.
How do you grill when you don't have a grill?
I'll use my George Foreman for fajita chicken, but that's basically it. I wouldn't put red meat on it, definitely not hot enough and you miss that smoky flavor and charring! I'm in a similar situation, and have been grilled food-free so far this summer :( except for occasional visits to the parents'. Maybe I'll have to invest in one of those grill pans, except I have a stupid electric stove, will it work okay?
How do you grill when you don't have a grill?
Go to a park where grills are available to all.
How do you grill when you don't have a grill?
So, essentially, if you're into the *flavor* of grilling, e.g., kiawe, mesquite, charcoal, versus form, you're SOL w/o an outdoor grill or hibachi. :(
How do you grill when you don't have a grill?
love love the Delonghi indoor healthy grill... I bought the one with the glass cover though, to retain moisture (avoid the smoke alarm) and cook faster. I did a lot of research first... glad i bought it. Paid $79 Amazon or Macys.
Behind the Scenes of Ciao Bella's Gelato Factory
Ha Ha this is funny. Ciao Bella uses a powder base. So, they just add the flavors. I know this because I know some one who works for the company they order from.
I tried their gelato for the first time the other day. It was so artificial and dry. If you want some good gelato look for "Gelato Di Babbo". This girl makes it all by hand and it is packaged for the supermarket, in pints. I think she has a myspace page.

What's the Best Mac and Cheese Cheese?
I'm in the predominately cheddar group w/ the rest being whatever I have on hand,including cream cheese. I'm in the bacon camp and I also like diced onion or jalepeno,cherry or grape tomatoes.The topping?I've hit on the devilish combo of 1/2 breadcumbs,1/2 CHEEZ-ITS ground up together in the food proceesor.And yes they're buttered.I dont make this too often since it can kill you.
