Can white vinegar powder be used in place of white vinegar?

What's the recipe?

Grilling: Montreal Smoked Meat

I'll never forget the hour I spent waiting outside of Schwartz's one May day with my sister. Someone across the street's alarm on his motorcycle wouldn't turn off and he couldn't get his motorcycle to start. When he finally got the alarm off and the motorcycle started everyone in line started clapping. Shortly after my sister and I were let in and led to a table. We thought we'd died and gone to kosher heaven..

Drinking the Bottom Shelf: Canadian Mist Blended Whisky

You can stay with me Will Gordon. We can do lunch at Tim Hortons and then I'll drop you off at a Canadian strip club while I go to one of my free doctors appointments.

Sweet Technique: How to Make Orangettes

Hi Lauren,

Since you're going to blanch the peels anyways, can I save the peels in a bag or container from the oranges I peel and eat for a few days then follow the recipe as directed?

Best Veggie Burger

I used to love the spicy bean burgers my dorm cafeteria served when I was in school. They were kind of like a soft felafel.

Sheet Pizza - Regional?

We have it in the Toronto, ON Canada area too. I think it went by a few names, sheet pizza, square pizza, party pizza, etc. But yes, a giant pizza cut into 24 squares.

Who's giving/receiving useless kitchen gadgets?

I'm about to re gift a set of cheap metal cookie cutters (the kind you can squish with your bare hands) I got last year from a friend. This is a friend that's so busy she only has time to get together once or twice a year so she apparently knows nothing about me.

I Got My Present Early!

I remember making a challah bread for my friend with it. I used the dough hook. I recommend you pick up the Momofuku Milk Bar cookbook, their cookie recipes demand you use a stand mixer because you have to cream the butter, sugar and eggs together for 10 minutes!

Food that smells better than it tastes

I can't believe I forgot about coffee! I think the same thing every time I brew a pot or walk by a Tim Hortons or Starbucks.

Everyone just pretend I included that in my original list.
