100 Rules for Restaurant Staffers

YES @alliect! Write down my order! Especially if I have certain restrictions and you have a crappy memory.

You know how many salads had to be sent back b/c they were covered in cheese and I ask for the cheese to be left off?!?

Watch It with Us: 'Top Chef' All Star Reunion Dinner

i also thought this was pretty lame. i would have loved to see the next episode of top chef vegas.

on a side note, i wasn't too impressed with Fabio's hosting. i was all about him getting his own show, but know...i dunno.

Living on the Edge: Gas Station Junk Food

Zingers! Oh, and some Little Debbie's Fudge Rounds or Zebra Cakes! And to balance the sweet i'd probably get a bag of Utz's BBQ chips! And then I'd make my friend get some Mini Powdered Donuts so I can have one or two.

Thanksgiving! minus the annoying bickering and arguments.

Video: How to Eat a Chicken Wing

nice technique! but that's kinda like the infomercials where they make the conventional technique look impossible. like the woman who can't fry an egg without making a huge mess or using a ton of oil. i eat chicken wings without this technique and I don't leave all that meat on the bone.

Paul Rudnick's Candy Diet

i think i would feel BLECH if i ate like that. mentally, it would be awesome...but i would get tired of the sweet taste. you know that feeling and taste after too much candy. i'm sure lots of us will be feeling that after this weekend.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 91: Diet Armageddon or Hell Week

sometimes we need a kick in the ass like this to get back on track. keep pushing ahead. consider this your chance to make a complete U-turn and head back in the right direction.

Anyone use pumpkin (or apple sauce) and oil to replace butter?

i've replaced oil with applesauce many times in baking cakes. it's a bit lighter and fluffier and no one can tell a difference.

FN Chefs - ignoring food sanitation

i think the current standards for rinsing meat is that you shouldn't. there's a higher risk of spreading any bacteria to surfaces and that puts you at a higher risk

Watch It with Us: 'Top Chef Las Vegas,' Ep. 10

Natalie's recent review of Eating Animals in the Huffington Post stated that she has been vegeterian and i think she is now vegan. It sounds like a recent transition for her.

All-You-Can-Eat Restaurants: Great Deal, Or Bad Policy?

i'm not afraid to admit that if i go to an all-you-can-eat joint, i'm eating all i can eat! which is way more than what i would normally eat. and i'd bet that most others do the same. so yeah, i agree and think if you eat at these places regularly you'll probably end up overeating.

Video: André Soltner Makes an Omelet

so are omelets stuffed with cheeses and various veggies in the same line as this traditional omelet or are they considered something completely different?

it's been my sweet nickname for awhile. there must be another one, hence the underscore. still not sure why i decided to put it in the front of my name. i guess i'm not the only one with regrets.

Toaster oven recommendations

I LOVE my Oster toaster convection oven. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! fish and meat bake in that oven beautifully and comes out super moist.

Cookie Spreading Panic

i've heard about this before with a snickerdoodle recipe. one person suggested that you chill the dough in the fridge and also chill your baking sheets. it should reduce the spreading significantly. good luck!

Oh, I love olives so very much. It's a toss-up between a buttery cerignola or the always delicious kalamatas...

From Serious Eats

Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption

Never met an olive I didn't love. My current favorite is picholine. It will be something else next week...

From Serious Eats

Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption

Yes, I'm boring, but I'll pop kalamata after kalamata in my mouth just like candy (but picholines are nice too, and Gaetas... )

Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'

Layer sauerkraut in a casserole dish, place pork chops on top and season (I use cracked black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika), cover with lid or seal with foil, bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. I like to make mashed potatoes with it, but have also just done steamed veggies on the side.

young, fat, green cerignolas. and sadly those gross pimento stuffed ones in the grocery store

feta-stuffed green olives. or black oil cured ones. I love the oil most of all- I practically drink it if it's good enough.

Nicoise olives to eat out of hand.

I had to look it up because, like many other above, I'm not familiar with the names, but Lucque olive are quite tasty.

pimento stuffed "martini" olives. i used to suck the pimentos out then eat the olive--straight from the jar, when parents were drinking martinis
