International Serious Eats Day: February 25, 2012
Ok, y'all can help me decide! I work in NYC until the 24th, but I live in Portland. Do I a)stay to do the New York one and go home the next day, or b)fly out early on the 25th, arrive around noon in Oregon, and do the Portland one?
So I guess what I'm asking is, who's cooler? PDX or NYC? I can't decide!

Spice Hunting: How to Increase Your Spice Tolerance
Great advice! Too often I'm the girl crying through my lassi/milk/whatever because it just HURTS too much to eat, no matter how hungry I might be.
Also, remember Surge soda? Don't try to chug that when you accidentally eat a sandwich full of jalapenos. So much pain...

Holiday Giveaway: Sara's Kitchen App by Sara Moulton
Yosenabe with lots of crab legs!
That doesn't go together!
In an attempt to clean out the fridge before I'm gone for a week, I had karaage chicken, barley, celery sticks, and a rum and Coke.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Filet Mignon Roast from Pat LaFrieda Meats
Gotta go with the ribeye!
Just wondering, do you feel okay eating alone at a restaurant?
Travel is my work, so I eat out alone a LOT, and it's usually not bad! Bar, table, whatever. Just don't leave me hanging service-wise. Just because (at the very least) I'm going to have a check that's half of the two-top nearby doesn't mean I don't deserve bad service!
Ask the Food Lab Anything, the Thanksgiving Edition
What kind of turkey-dinner-ish meal can you recommend for a single person, coming home after 7pm on Thanksgiving? I'd have no time to prepare anything in the week before. (Celebrating belatedly doesn't work out, either.)
Latest from Japan: Korean Burger at McDonald's and Grilled Tomato Burger at MOS
I tried the grilled tomato burger at Mos earlier this month. It was...delicious in a plasticky way and had too too much sauce left in the paper wrapper. The tomato was ummemorable. Also far too small for costing over $6.
20 Fun Sandwiches for Your Sack Lunch
I wouldn't want to pack up a TMT to eat later. And the Deconstructed Club is actually a salad...
I can't believe I used to eat THAT!
As a preschooler I would eat nothing but American cheese, white rice and nori.
Check Out the New Serious Eats Mobile Site
I like it! I also appreciate your recent fix on the slideshows. ;-)
Cook the Book: 'Serve Yourself'
Macaroni and cheese! Extra cheese and bread crumbs on top, always, and a giant beer glass of apple juice.
Cook the Book: Miso Tofu Nuggets with Edamame
oh yum! It might have been that I was reusing oil, or it may have been the ginger and onion and starch, but these reminded me of karaage in taste! I only used half the recipe, but still had a lot of nuggets!
@zdarma The only things I can think of are that your tofu was too wet, and these required a light hand. I gently packed the mixture into a 1/8-cup measure to size them out and plopped onto a plate before coating them in the starch. Good luck if you try again!
Portland, Oregon: Lovely Seasonal Pizza at Lovely's Fifty-Fifty
How have I never heard of this place before? If I ever get a night off, I'm going!
Does This Food-By-State Map Look Accurate?
Hazelnuts for Oregon is ridiculous. I've lived here almost 15 years, and the only hazelnuts I eat are in my Nutella. I probably wouldn't recognize a hazelnut tree (Is that right? Do they grow on trees?) if it fell on my house. I like the pears or idea better.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Pasta Mancini Collection
In a giant soup bowl with a fork!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
Realizing that bacon didn't have to be burnt to a crisp and that it was actually delicious!
What's your Christmas main dish?
Past few years have been prime rib at our family. My dad and brothers would prefer turkey, but when it's me and Mom cooking, we get what we want. Mwahah. Beefy beefness ftw.
Stainless Steel skillet - cannot get clean!
Is it the inside or outside? If it's stained on the inside, make a tomato sauce! There's enough acid in the tomatoes that my pans always wind up super shiny after cooking.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: La Belle Farms Foie Gras
One more for Peking duck!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
My first experience with jamon iberico in Japan.
Either that or the time I taught myself to make buta kakuni, three days in a row. Three lardy, wonderful days....
