Serious Eats: anadequatenovel's Profile

I wrote about the eats at my local stadium, Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati-- and found myself agreeing, to some degree, with the person who did the Cinci review. The nachos are atrocious-- comparable to really stale movie theater nachos-- and the Skyline cheese coneys are pretty good. However, I argue that their hot dogs are far worse than anything else available: no taste whatsoever, awful texture, and pretty small. The Kosher dogs are only available on the exclusive club level, and they're not a whole lot better. Stick with the Skyline coneys, Penn Station (killer fresh-cut fries) or a slice of pizza.

Chipotle Calorie Math Makes Absolutely No Sense

I get a salad with chicken, corn salsa, tomato salsa, a bit of sour cream and cheese. And I maybe eat half of it and save the rest for another meal. The salad dressing is DEADLY, calorically-- 200 just for the dressing.

Thanks, aliikazoo, figured out my salad is 880 calories. Good thing I only eat half.

Pillsbury Bake-Off Million-Dollar Winner: Double-Delight Peanut Butter Cookies

I don't get how this is a million dollar winner. It reminds me of Sandra Lee's faux "cooking". Oh wait, look who's the host...

"it wouldn't be top chef without a fauxhawk". So, so true.

Cook the Book: The Cornbread Gospels

Ooh, almost forgot: cracklin' cornbread. You might develop heart disease just reading the recipe, but it is so. unbelievably. good.

Cook the Book: The Cornbread Gospels

The key is a preheated cast iron skillet-- that makes for a super crunchy outside crunch. So good!

Snapshots from Italy: Crema di Gianduja

Oh, yum. I'm going to have to pick some of this up.

You (or a lovely reader) might know the answer-- is there a difference between the Nutella sold in Europe and the Nutella sold in the US? I notice that the European Nutella is creamier, almost liquid, whereas the Nutella in the US is more like peanut butter in consistency.

The best part: "his cute little behind". I don't want to think about how cute my animal (formerly) was. I mean, I am totally okay with the fact that meat used to BE an animal, but I don't think of its cuteness.

And ew, Velveeta.

I've made her rosemary-d leg of lamb, and it was delicious.

Cook the Book: 'Think Like a Chef'

My favorite cooking technique? For meat, roasting. For vegetables, steaming. For desserts? Bruleeing!

Is the Entree Going the Way of the Dinosaur?

When my boyfriend and I dine out, we tend to order appetizers and not entrees-- again, for more variety and smaller portions. I usually get a salad and eat a few appetizers, he usually eats the rest of the appetizers and springs for dessert. Ah, to have his metabolism.

you can pick healthy choices... i can get crunchy tacos with carnitas, fajita veggies, lettuce, and medium salsa. all stuff that I know won't add a lot of calories (like rice, beans). My total for that is 410 calories.
