Erin! You may not remember me but I currently write the Out-to-Lunch column for the Hoya. Great to see you've moved to New York to pursue your food writing ambitions. I've actually got an internship downtown near Century 21, so if you're ever discount shopping there, we should meet!

my mom gets a bag of these every time we go to the asian supermarket and eats them like it's nothing. i've always found them so intimidating though...maybe i'll finally try a nibble.

Erin:
Someone sent me a link to the blog you did on QSR oatmeal (Jamba Juice won). I've since discovered what an oatmeal afficionado you are and wanted you to know two things:
1. Jamba Juice serves Country Choice Organic Steel Cut Oats
2. You can buy them at a variety of local retailers
Just thought you would like to know.
Warm regards,

Try to get your hands on Finnish salmiakki - salty licorice, essentially (in Australia it's sold as 'Dutch licorice'). There are all sorts of varieties, all of an acquired taste. My personal favourites are witch sticks, apothecary salmiakki and Turkish Peppers - although I'd love to hear your take on any variety!
Cooking with Your Car Engine
I'm more worried about dirt and motor oil goo getting in my fish. The engine compartment pictured in the photo looks a lot cleaner than that of any car I've ever driven.
A cleaner atmosphere for cooking salmon is the dishwasher, or so I've heard. I've always been skeptical but the method keeps making the rounds. Has anybody given that a try?

"You've got the whole day ahead of you, so this meal by definition is inspiring."
Heh. Never thought of it that way. Good way to look at it.
