best veggie lasagna
I know it is not NYC, but I love the Moosewood veggie Lasgna...now you just need to find someone in NYC with the book (the basic moosewood cookbook), a kitchen (not always easy in NYC) and the willingness to make it for you.

Visiting supermarkets when traveling - doesn't everyone?
What a great "thread". I have a thing for grocery stores and pharmacies when travelling. We even got clean underwear at a Grocery store in Prague because it was nearing the end of our trip and we were tired of washing our underwear over and over in the sinks of Youth Hostels and just wanted a fresh pair or two. We also got great beer, some bread and cheese, and the equivalent (except a million times better) to a hostess type cake for dessert.
In France I like Carrefour because that's where we shopped when we lived in Grenoble. In London, it is always Sainsbury's and Marks and Spencer's (for some items), the farmer's markets, and Boots (for my pharmacy fetish).
Quote of the Morning: 'Why Add Water to Eggs?'
I think milk, water, or anything really isn't necessary. When I was avoiding milk because of a sensitivity to eat, I just cooked the eggs low and slow and they were so creamy that everyone swore I added cream.
I believe this is a classically French way to cook them so that no large curds from.
This time of year, I have to snip a few chives into the eggs to make them divine.

About bffoodie
Website: http://www.examiner.com/x-1240-Boston-Family-Foodie-Examiner
Location: Cambridge, MA
About: I shop like a chef: bring, local, fresh, ingredients to the table. I pack lunch, have cocktail parties and manage to cook up an assortment of weekly family meals. I provide tips on cooking for the family without going insane or broke.
Favorite foods: oysters are on my mind right now and blood oranges. I like fresh food. I tend to love classic "peasant" food.
Last bite on earth: too hard...
I was once a dill hater except for pickles, and cilantro too. I now love cilantro (which once tasted soapy too me) and appreciate the flavour and freshness. I also love dill in a sauce for salmon or snipped on just the right dish.
The one I can't handle is Tarragon. I despise it's slight sweetness and although I love licorice and anise flavours I can't quite handle it in Tarragon.
