Besides SeriousEats, what other fave food sites do you frequent?
the girl who ate everything - best food blog ever. I also like candy blog and the amateur gourmet.
Besides SeriousEats, what other fave food sites do you frequent?
"A Hamburger Today" is the BEST of the best.
"eGullet" , "Homesick Texan", "Off The Broiler" are all GOOD.
"The Food Pornographer" has GREAT food photos, but the monologue (with a hidden political agenda) is monotonous.
"Roadfood.com" is the WORST food site because they "rate" people by how many useless posts they make, they DISCOURAGE all new participants (it's an OLD MAN'S club in effect), and they kick people off for disagreeing with ANY of the so-called "monitors."
Besides SeriousEats, what other fave food sites do you frequent?
Mouthfulsfood.com, Eater, and offtherbroiler.com..
Mouthfuls for discussion, Eater for news and Perlow for fun and interesting places.. Places in Jersey and places I would most likely be traveling to in the near future..

I just love a good old-fashioned spaghetti & meatballs!

Penne with a white Bolognese sauce (New York Times magazine a few years ago) is by far my favorite pasta. It starts with lots of rehydrated porcini mushrooms, and then simmers vegetables, beef, and sausage in porcini broth and white wine. It ends with cream and a hit of good white truffle oil. I have had guests call the following day and claim they still can taste that Bolognese!

Nothing too fancy for me, I'm afraid, since I'm enamored by the simplicities of a well-done bolognese or vodka sauce. And due to being a graduate student with only so much time to cook and only so much money to devote to cooking, I tend to work on one or two recipes a semester to see if I can start nailing these sauces on my own rather than be at the mercy of a jar!
As such I have a decent vodka sauce going on for whenever I need to make a quick meal in around 15 minutes, and that certainly means quite a bit to me! Time to get cracking on bolognese!

Plain old spaghetti with my family's meat sauce (beef short ribs, boneless pork ribs, italian sausage and meatballs) covered in locatelli cheese. It brings me such comfort I just thank God I am italian.

My favorite is a 4-cheese lasagne with béchamel sauce. It uses fontina, parmigiano reggiano, mascarpone and ricotta cheeses with walnuts for texture and additional flavor.
It's really amazingly amazing! I think I'll make it tomorrow night -- you know, after a lazy Sunday.

Spaghetti carbonara, non-cream version, is the best!
