I was wondering if anyone knows of a place to get canning and preserving supplies in NYC in bulk. Basically the CSA that I belong to is interested in running a demo for the members. Even though buying in bulk lowers the price, buying online almost doubles the price of the jars b/c they're glass! So if I could find a place that's local (and could even possibly deliver locally, to brooklyn) I think it would save us a bundle in shipping charges.

I know midtown NY isn't always the greatest or most affordable neighborhood to eat in - I'm more of a downtown gal myself. But I have a friend who's staying at the Hilton at 53rd and 6th and I need a restaurant suggestion for tonight. She only has about 2.5 hours available so going farther downtown isn't going to cut it. Something casual, inexpensive to mid-range ($40-50/pp), where having some wine won't totally break the bank. Thanks for your suggestions in advance!

I'm really interested in making some fresh mozzarella at home - it looks pretty easy, but I need to buy some cheesemaking supplies (i.e., rennet, citric acid and a clip-on thermometer). Does anyone know of a shop in NYC that sells this stuff? (I know that I could just order it online but I want to try making it this weekend. and i'm impatient.)

anyone have recommendations for food off the beaten path in the san antonio/austin area? (please not anything on the riverwalk!) like little taco places or hole-in-the-wall barbecue. my husband and i are visiting his family for the week and we'd love to hear if anyone has a favorite place that they go to.

Do you have an old skool index card box? Stuff on your computer? Bookmarks in books?? I'm kind of a mess - I have a binder with printouts from the web, and I started organizing them into various categories but I kind of gave up. I also have little pieces of paper stuck into cookbooks. But those fall out and get lost. :-( At least I have a shelf in the kitchen for all the books and papers!
