Dinner Tonight: Alice Waters's Carrot Soup
I think @Emmi24g is asking how it would be with rosemary. And I, for one, think it would be lovely with rosemary.

Thanks for the great article - I loved the film and want to know everything about how they created the delicious shots.

Wow, seems big things are ahead, and it's been so exciting to have had had a snippet of things that have happened so far. Thanks for all the stories, and all the best for the ones to come.

Bu, but, but, how does it taste? If it was delicious, I'd sure dunk it. I'd dunk anything delicious.

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.

This is a great piece that got me all nostalgic for my days at university and waiting tables. Life continues to be amazing and there are many more fun experiences to be had - but those times were pretty fun too. Thanks HH.
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."

Top Movies Starring Chinese Food
I love The Joy Luck Club – especially that bit where the boyfriend drowns the communal plate of something in soy sauce. Such a cringe-worthy scene.
The Lost Boys had Chinese food in it, turned me off fried rice for awhile.
As an Australian, seeing that you guys eat Chinese food in those white take-out boxes was exciting – so much so that when on holiday in NYC we had to order in Chinese just to get the experience.

"Dora's dunking doughnuts, Dora's dunking doughnuts, you'll be nuts about her doughnuts.
Dunk 'em in your coffee or any old drink, dunk 'em day and dunk 'em night and still they don't sink! ..."
Is anyone else reminded of that Shirley Temple short?

i like my cookies soggy, but i hate those little wet crumbs and smears they leave in your cup after you dunk them. a cookie that gets soggy but doesn't fall apart would be best.

I always thought people dunk their biscuits (or cookies or small, starchy snacks) because they like them a bit soggy.

I'm not the dunking type, but there's certainly more appeal for a soggy biscuit than a crispy one.

I agree with the above comments--soggy biscuits is half the fun of tea.

If you're holding your biscuit/cookie in your hot drink for a minute before you eat it, you're Doing It Wrong.
And this flour/oat/sweet potato object sounds more like an Xtreme Baking stunt (or an edible brick) than something a person would really choose for their dunking pleasure, given a choice.
I think some taste tests are in order, not just a stopwatch demo.

Aren't there already state-of-the-art dunking miracles coming out of Italy, called "biscotti"? That does the trick just fine for me.

Isn't making the cookie soggy the point? Imagine a chocolate chip cookie that stays hard when dunked in milk or a biscotti that never softens in coffee. It sounds so sad.

This is biscuit as in a cookie? They don't speak proper English in the UK so it's hard to tell.
I like my cookies somewhat soggy. The new cookie I would have to soak for maybe half a minute to reach the desired level of sogginess, plus I wouldn't have the bits of cookie sog at the bottom of the cup to enjoy when I finished my coffee.
And I'm not sure if they can make Oreos using this recipe.
Dinner Tonight: Alice Waters's Carrot Soup
Rosemary would be a great addition, though, I think adding a SMALL amount of curry powder and a PINCH of cinnamon (I'm talking very little here folks), it would add such great flavor.

I'm eating a bowl of this now - made with veg broth instead of chicken. Yum!
Easy and delicious. I often end up with leftover carrots, and this is a great use for a big batch of them considering all the ingredients are already in the house.

@Yamee: I realize my mistake. I agree that rosemary would be tasty!

OMG. Just wait...
I got some free passes for a sneak preview and saw the movie on Tuesday..
All I have to say is don't go on an empty stomach...and just wait for the bruschetta scene... Holy crap! I've been craving it ever since and won't be satisfied until I get some that looks (and presumably tastes) JUST LIKE IT!!

Hannah, I've come late to SE and your writing, but have enjoyed it. I'll miss it, and I hope you will take up your blogging gift again soon. Looking forward to learning what group you're with. If they operate in the MidWest we will give any Chicago operations a try.
Lived in Santa Barbara for six years - some time ago - and SoCal is an entirely different world. Hope you like it. It may be a little harder to live there since the state iwent broke.

Good Luck Hannah, so glad to hear you found a job! I have really enjoyed your blog, hope to see you writing again soon!

How bittersweet but welcome to LA & congrats on landing the gig! Will be seeing a "Managed" here on SE soon?
Anyhow, hopefully we'll have a chance to meet (and eat, and drink) when you're here!

Congratulations Hannah. I hope you will maintain some kind of blog when you're in LA! I really enjoyed this column.

Well done, Hannah. Good to hear that you're moving in the direction that you'd like to go. I've read your blog for about a year now, through Serious Eats, and it's always been one of the features I look forward to.
Also, six months ago, one of my very good friends moved to LA to do a restaurant management program that sounds suspiciously similar to the one you've described. She's loving it and all the opportunities that come with it. Maybe I'll tell her to look out for you...
Good luck with everything!

I'm not kidding, I've been reading your column for a while now and I so look forward to every Tuesday when I know it'll show up on my google reader page. I hope you have an amazing adventure but you will be so missed. I have one of your articles in an email draft so that I can read it all the time. It was my favorite one called Sunday Night Mayhem. I can't tell you what this column has meant to me.
Thank you so much.

Congratulations, Hannah. I'm jealous. :) You grab life with gusto and embrace it with all you have ... and it will reward you. Best of luck, and please keep writing. You have a talent for it.
