I love Cook's Illustrated.

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

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!

lemon cake, hands down.

my mom always called them One-Eyed Petes.

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.

chicken tenders and potato wedges, with steamed veggies. in the oven in 10 mins, ready to eat in 30.

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

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.

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.

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.

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).
