Travelers: What's Your Favorite Airport Food?
I didn't realize there was any airport food out there that was actually worth buying. It always seemed to me the be a movie theater situation where you're trapped with no options except bad food at high prices.
To Store Chocolate or Not to Store?
I'm storing chocolate I bought in Belgium about a month ago to bring home with me when I'm done studying abroad in Spain in June. Right now I'm keeping it in a plastic bag in an odorless closet. I open the window to the room often, and luckily I think the Spanish spring is not too bad with humidity and temp usually stays between 60-80 F. I hope this will keep the chocolate quality high enough to have been worth it to bring all the way home to the US from Belgium!!
Dinner Tonight: Chicken Breasts in Foil with Tomato, Olives, and Parmesan
Wow! Still licking my fingers after cooking this great recipe!
A couple comments: I substituted the rosemary for fresh thyme... not exactly a radical move, but for anyone wanting to make this, it's a worthy substitution if you have on but not the other. Also, I used plain old 12" foil and had no problem - just make sure you seal it well!
Also, the 7-minute cooking time was dead on. It didn't overcook nor did I have to throw it back on the skillet for a second or two more.

I've been making asparagus/bacon "BLTs" for the past few springs and find it to be a stellar combination. Some suggestions:
1) Add a splash of red wine or sherry vinegar to the asparagus when it's done cooking.
2) Spare the cheese - keep this a simple sandwich
3) Seasoning the asparagus with red pepper flakes adds a nice subtle spiciness.
