Seconding the vote for Kalustyan's http://kalustyans.com/

They have an immense selection, and I recommend going in as they have a great variety of spices and other fun things.

Taste Test: Dill Pickles

@salinabee Grillos! Yes! I tried them on holiday in Boston, got addicted and was so happy to find them in Whole Foods in NYC. So now there is always a tub of Grillos in my fridge.

However, I'm guessing Grillos comes under the boutiquey brands SE were avoiding in this taste test. I'm pretty sure they're only available in the Northeast.

Dinner Tonight: Pan-Fried Mango Chicken

Sounds amazing. Possible typo in second last line - salt poured on top? But it does sound fantastic and I think this technique is the best for delicious crisp skin and moist flesh.

The Serious Eats All-Star Sandwich Festival in Photos

I rarely comment but need to say that this was one of the best food events I have ever been to. All the food was fantastic and I loved the frisbee and reusable glass concept. And the music was great. And there were enough chairs and water and drinks. And not having to pay for each thing was so convenient, it just made the lines faster and so chilled.

I was really nervous as I was bringing people who had no knowledge of Serious Eats, so while I could have forgiven any hiccups, they would have been disappointed. I had nothing to worry about - this was the best introduction to your site that I could hope for!

Big thumbs up!

Are you a keeper or a giver?

I always give my boyfriend the best bit. Sometimes though (when it's especially delightful), I tell him I did so and he rolls his eyes and swaps with me. I never ask him to swap, but I'm secretly glad when he does.

Red-Dyed Pistachios: Are You Still Out There?

When I was a kid I read a book by Paula Danziger - The Pistachio Prescription. The main character would eat pistachios as comfort food and constantly have pink-stained fingers. I (being from Australia) never understood why her fingers were pink, and have always thought that pistachio had some chemical reaction with your skin to turn them pink. Now I understand! They were dyed! Thank you.

Serious Reads: Anne Mendelson’s Milk

As a non-American I've always found it interesting that on American tv and movies, characters are often shown drinking milk with dinner. I'm from Australia, and I don't think that's a common practice here. I've always wondered if there was some widespread ad campaign to encourage drinking milk with meals? Would that be the Got Milk? campaign? But that wasn't specific about drinking with dinner... right?

Sorry if this is slightly off topic, it just reminded me about the American relationship with milk.

Store Bought vs. Homemade: What's More Cost-Effective?

@jazzinx Doesn't the author refer to energy costs in the second paragraph of the article? "Based on an estimate from my utility company, it costs around 32 cents per hour to run an electric oven."

I can't wait to try the bagel and the granola recipes
