Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Knife

I don't have a favorite knife. I think that I have gone through life without any knives of particular distinction.

Carrot Cake Jam

Made this over the weekend. Reduced the sugar to 5 cups and it was still plenty sweet. Overall yield declined to six half-pints. Delicious!

The Secret Ingredient (Chipotle): Chipotle BBQ Oven Ribs

Am I reading this right - 6 pounds of ribs = 4 servings?

Trader Joe's Frozen Avocado Halves = Fail

I agree with this post -- I bought some recently because I'm the only one in the house who likes avocados. Thawed a couple of the halves last night to add to salad. They had the absolute wrong texture and tasted disgusting. Rest of the bag went into the trash.

Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

Chorizo and egg breakfast tacos on my first trip to Austin. Amazing.

Cook the Book: 'How to Cook Everything, Revised Tenth Anniversary Edition'

My first instinct was brownies, so I'll stick with that. But I've made dozens of his recipes over the years and they all have been worth repeating.

I do wish they'd issue a spiral-bound copy (or even a hefty paperback) -- my hardbound copy cracked a week in and many years later, the pages are falling out in chunks. It's battle-weary, which I guess is good for a cookbook.

Five Guys' Fries Make Me Weep with Happiness, Burger Is Not Bad

I totally agree about the fries. I've given up fries except for five guys... I got tired of being disappointed with regular fast-food fries.

Cook the Book: 'The Cook's Country Cookbook'

probably either tater tot casserole or potato salad. both of which I never make on my own but love to eat!

Colorado Eats

The Rocky Mountain Diner is delicious and has a good variety of food for a crowd. It's more upscale than a traditional diner. Buffalo meatloaf - YUM.

I second the calls for Illegal Pete's, too.

Marvelous Mint Ice Cream

also try the Fresh Mint Ice Cream from David Lebovitz's book. It's sublime. Really, any of his recipes are winners. I'm particularly fond of the roasted banana and Guinness-milk chocolate.

Movie Theater Food

usually sneak in some M&Ms or twizzlers, but we do buy a soda once there (husband prefers fountain drinks to cans/bottles).

The most brazen food-sneaking I ever experienced wasn't me, but in a tiny, now-defunct arthouse theater in Dupont Circle. The guy behind me brought in takeout curry -- there was no hiding the smell. But, there were only a dozen or so people in the theater, and no one complained. (And I felt less guilty for having a sandwich with me that time.)

Help me with my weekday dinners

I make a batch of crepes about once a week (makes 12-15 and they keep well in the fridge), and we eat them with rejiggered leftovers. For instance, sunday's leftover easter ham got diced up and sauteed with asparagus, mushrooms, gruyere and herbes de provence. Or if we have leftover chicken, I might sautee that with some spinach and swiss. Plus, there's something novel about them, even though we have them regularly, because the filling is always different (and a great way to use up leftover veggies too).

Starbucks Discontinues Breakfast Sandwiches

I liked the sandwiches. It was nice to have a food option that wasn't 100% carbs and sugar - a little protein and even a few spinach leaves were nice. (And yes, they seemed to be very popular at the NW DC branch I frequented).
