Newspaper Food Sections Cutting Jobs; What Can Be Done?

I am a reporter at a small daily newspaper. My beat is education but I write for the food page on the side because it's something that interests me. Last week we lost yet another reporter so instead of writing for the food page, my efforts are now needed on other pages, my editors say.

Newspapers are a sad business to be a part of right now.

Cook the Book: 'Mario Batali Italian Grill'

Coca Cola.

Great for tenderizing and flavor. Plus, it's totally American.

Danger in the kitchen!

I do not have girl hands, let's just say that. I cringe at the thought of getting my nails done because I'd never want to attract attention to my scared hands. They're mostly from burns - you know, the usual - hitting my hand on the top of the oven, catching a hot pan with my bare arm or hand. Stupid, stupid things.

But seriously, I get so mad at pot holders because I have little hands and they are so huge and give me no movement so I use towels instead (BAD idea!).

Good luck with the hair, though. :)

What do you eat when you're feeling under the weather?

Breakfast for dinner always makes me feel good. Lots of eggs, hashbrowns (with hot sauce), even pancakes. I think I like it so much because my mom used to make breakfast for dinner when I was a kid.

Chili

I make chili in a similar way to the two already posted comments. I use usually a combination of ground meats - turkey, beef and pork. Lots of beans (kidney, black and chili beans), onions, peppers. Season with chili powder, lots of black pepper, salt and garlic.

And the secret ingredient - throw in a bottle of beer. Whatever you have in the fridge. It adds an amazing flavor. Let it come to a boil and reduce heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes. Serve with sour cream and cheese and corn chips and it will make your belly very happy.

Help me with my weekday dinners

Fajitas are good. You can mix them up a lot of different ways - steak, chicken, shrimp, with ranch sauce on top, etc.

I also really like tilapia. It's really good with just about any fresh herb or a fruit salsa on top. Plus, it's light and not that bad for you.

Oh, and when all else fails, make breakfast -- eggs, bacon, pancakes, sausage and biscuits and gravy - for dinner.
