Serious Reads: Bitters, A Spirited History of a Classic Cure-All by Brad Thomas Parsons

All I have at the moment are Regan's orange, and many little bottles of Underberg (do those count?). Used up all the Angostura in sidecars.

Serious Entertaining: Royal Wedding Party

Fruitcake is the traditional wedding cake in the UK, it's not a ridiculous request.

Guinness Week: Beeramisu

I mostly just want to keep saying "Beeramisu!" over and over again. That has got to be one of the best made-up words ever.

Flaming Holiday Punch

Made this last weekend for my big holiday party. If I'd had a bigger bowl I would have doubled it (we had a lot of people there). It went very well! Smelled and tasted fantastic and was very showy.

Culinary Ambassadors: Piadina, Street Food in Italy

I loved piadine when I was a student in Bologna. Rucola and squaquerone was my favorite.

Serious Heat: What's Spicy in Your Fridge?

Sriracha
Sambal olek
Spicy mango pickle
Crystal hot sauce
and lately I've been completely and utterly addicted to Awassi Ebesse Zozo sauce, a very flavorful habanero sauce. I can really only handle the mild (and I am not afraid of spicy foods), but I love the flavor.

What to Do with Cocoa Nibs

Alice Medrich has several great recipes that use nibs, including my favorite Pecan Nibby Cookies. These are dead easy and intensely popular whenever I make them. She's also got a recipe for cocoa nib ice cream where you infuse the cream with the nibs instead of including them in the ice cream itself - I haven't tried it, though I keep meaning to.

Dinner Tonight: Cinnamon-Flavored Black-Eyed Peas

@Martini Me: the pintos would take longer to cook, but I think it'd be a pretty good substitute. Try it and see!

Dinner Tonight: Cinnamon-Flavored Black-Eyed Peas

This is one of the best black-eyed-pea dishes I've ever had, and certainly the best vegan one. I will be making this again for certain.

Gibbles Potato Chips

Oh Gibbles. My grandmother always had a bag of these in the house (or Wise, also good) when I would visit her in eastern PA. They are one of the foods that remind me of her.
