BYOB of the Week: Sigiri, Your Gateway Sri Lankan Restaurant in the East Village
Don't forget Tinto Fino, a few stores down on the same block. They have a great selection of Spanish wines.

I want to know what kind of soup Laura's mom was making for 2 days!

@Robyn - Asked my coworker for you and he said it's more like juicy and beautiful. Your pics do make me salivate though.

Is Today National Chocolate Chip Day?
City Bakery is definitely my fav. I like a little crispiness at the edges.
Cukes and Gochujang: Perfect Summer Snack
I dip carrots and celery into gochujang too, but cucumbers are definitely the best...besides jeepoh and ojuinguh that is.
Serious Cheese: Von Trapp Farmstead's Oma
I just had this cheese a few weeks ago from Murray's! It is indeed buttery and creamy. I ate an entire wedge one night with some apples. And for those scared by the "barnyardy" description, you shouldn't be, it wasn't so much for me.
How to Make Kimbap
i third cakesmurf's egg suggestion. i'd trade in the odeng for some egg (although he is cute). and i love cheese in my kimbab! especially when it gets all melty from the warm rice. also, i season my rice too as minji mentioned.
When Is Totonno's Opening? New Projected Date Is Late August
4 days too late. I went this weekend. just my luck.
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
Peanut butter, corn, and pickles. I also take a swig of pickle juice every once in a while.
The Joys of Unnaturally Flavored Sodas
Welch's grape soda and Mountain Dew. Kinda trashy of me, but that's how I roll.
Lunch and Dinner at Locanda Verde: Just Like Breakfast, Worth a Trip
Argh, I went this Sunday for brunch and was told they aren't doing brunch yet on the weekends. Boooo. I'll try dinner in a few more weeks.
My (Sort Of) First Taste of White Castle's Burgers
Robyn, you must get the fried clam strips next time!!! I love them; crunchy, chewy, and salty. I used to get them all the time in HS with my friend who insisted on getting onion rings so we got our veggies.
4th of July: What's on Your Menu?
elote and hopefully some samgyupsal. weird combo, but a bbq isn't a bbq for me without some samgyupsal.
Video: Awkward Orderer
OMG, just too funny. I'm never ready also, but only because I want to eat the entire menu.
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Pancake Mountain
blueberry pancakes with maple syrup and butter if you mean traditional, but if given a choice, I'd rather eat either Korean jun or bindaedduk, or roti canai, or okonomiyaki.
Snapshots from South Korea: Soondubu and More from Ddukbaegi Jip
@lysine - OMG, with soju?! Never tried it, but that'll soon be rectified!
Seolleongtang, Ox Bone Broth, from Gahm Mi Oak
They used to sell their kimchi at Gam Mee Ok, but I heard they stopped doing that. It's a shame. And @fressagirl, next time you screw up, you can let them know, and they'll give you more soup to mix. They won't mind, unless you make it a habit of course.
What to Expect from Tonight’s 'Top Chef Masters' Premiere
In terms of innovation and creativity, Hubert Keller seemed the more talented of the group by leaps and bounds. Plus he had the hot factor.
Heinz Introduces World's Smallest Microwave, and It's USB-Powered
Lovely, now I can microwave my curry right in my cubicle. My coworkers will love me even more.
Dinner Tonight: Polenta with Broccoli and Tomato
Oooh, looks good. I'll be making this tonight, but I think I'll top with a fried egg. :)
"Too much" cheese- 4 types in my fridge
I second the quiche idea, but if you're feeling lazy, I say invite some friends over and have them help you finish the cheese with some crostini and sangria. I love impromptu parties.
Smörgåsboard: Scrapple; Gelato; Po' Boys
Oh, how did I miss this? My scrapple post can be found here.
Gallery of Rice Cakes from Seoul's 7th International Tteok Fair
@driftingfocus - 떡 translates to dduk with a k sound at the end, not g.
I prefer dduk as the spelling. It just makes more sense.
Snapshots from South Korea: Hyoja-dong Old Fashioned Tteokbokki
I used to make a crunchy version with sugar and honey when I was little. I thought I invented crunchy ddukboki, but I guess it's in my blood.
Serious Cheese: Von Trapp Farmstead's Oma
Now Available at Grafton Village Cheese in Brattleboro, VT. It just came in last Thursday and is fabulous.
Grocery Ninja: Korean Roasted Seaweed, Kim
wow i've never tried fresh grilled kim before! definitely need to try it next time im in the bay!
Cukes and Gochujang: Perfect Summer Snack
oo-ee with ssam-jang for me.... or cho-jang if i'm having cucumbers with some hwoe
Momofuku Ssam Lunch Prix Fixe: Still A Great Deal, Now With More Choice
@Simon I can't imagine anyone eating what ESNY1077 had and leaving hungry. But on the other hand if you order the pickles, branzini and parfait you are talking about a significantly lighter lunch. Still a good value at $25.
Momofuku Ssam Lunch Prix Fixe: Still A Great Deal, Now With More Choice
My brother had their prix fixe and said he left hungry. Personally, when I go to Ssam I just order like mad, because the portions are so small, and then try to not look at the check. Haven't tried the menus yet. I only feel like I'm getting my money's worth when I eat at Ko.
Momofuku Ssam Lunch Prix Fixe: Still A Great Deal, Now With More Choice
Had this last week. Went with Pork Buns, spicy rice cakes and the ice cream pie. First off, its a crazy amount of food. Second, I surprisingly loved the ice cream pie. the corn ice cream was fantastic
Grocery Ninja: Korean Roasted Seaweed, Kim
Aha. Good to know! (I was born a Korean Kim, so I always wondered where the name came from.)
Freed Journalist Laura Ling an Apparent Hoagie-Lover
I think that there's kosher bologna on it!
Is Today National Chocolate Chip Day?
I had a terrible cookie at City Bakery, I'm afraid to report. I absolutely adore the Jacques Torres chocolatey round ball of heaven. For something closer to home, I'm a sucker for Momofuku's cookies, but they don't have plain chocolate chip so I don't know if it technically counts.
Dumplings and Carb Slabs from Chinese Food
@pickle: Someone should open a place called VERY BEAUTIFUL POTSTICKERS. I'd eat there.
@fobbyamerican: Beef noodles...I'll try it next time! I'm not in this area very often, but maybe more than most people considering I don't live or work around there.. :)
Dumplings and Carb Slabs from Chinese Food
i always wonder why i don't have the opportunity to bump into you when you go to these places.... = 1 this is right around my neighborhood. i don't really like chives so i don't really order the regular dumplings, but i did hear that they have this beef noodle that is pretty good. maybe you would want to try it next time. it's suppose to be spicy.
Dumplings and Carb Slabs from Chinese Food
omg!!! looking at that sign, i just realized where the term "pot stickers" comes from (i'm japanese but we read chinese characters). I figuratively understood why they were called pot stickers, but always thought it was some crude american translation. In my non-Chinese understanding the first character symbolizes grandeur or ample-ness. It's the "tsu" in tsunami (nami means wave - so big wave) So I see it as VERY BEAUTIFUL POTSTICKERS.
Is Today National Chocolate Chip Day?
I love Two Little Red Hens' Chocolate Chunk cookie. I think it has both walnuts and pecans. I just had one on Sunday. I don't need a holiday to have a chocolate chip cookie!
Dumplings and Carb Slabs from Chinese Food
@DessertBuzz: Thanks! Dumplings radiate with NATURAL BEAUTY! (Also, something I love about Chinatown joints is that they have good lighting..haha.)
@bionicgrrrl: Haha, that sounds way better. My mom was like "I'm gonna look it up on my dictionary!!" cos she wasn't sure what it was. Someone else suggested that the name meant Exquisite Dumplings. Ahhh SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!
Cukes and Gochujang: Perfect Summer Snack
currently eating in my home: gochujang mixed with some dwenjang and dipping your pickle wedge in that
the pickles at the nyc farmers market have been extra crisp and sweet the last 2 or 3 weeks. not sure how much longer that'll last so get them while you can!
Is Today National Chocolate Chip Day?
Don't forget Clinton St. Baking Company, Bouley, Milk and Cookies and Hampton Chutney Co. I know this is shamless self promotion but I have compiled a very comprehensive list of the best Chocolate chip cookies w pics in Manhattan here:

Is Today National Chocolate Chip Day?
I used to love the regular CC cookies from City Bakery, but then I ate one of their vegan CC cookies and I liked it more! Felt less deathly to my health, maybe. :)
Is Today National Chocolate Chip Day?
The chocolate chip cookies from Chikalicious Dessert Bar...the compost and the cornflake/marshmallow/chocolate chip cookies from Momofuku Milk Bar and Bakery
Is Today National Chocolate Chip Day?
Levain, Silver Moon Bakery, and Jacques Torres - all different and delicious UWS options...
Cukes and Gochujang: Perfect Summer Snack
has anyone ever had them with cho-jang?
its basically gochujang mixed with vinegar and sugar with sesame seeds sprinkled in
it also the red sauce that comes with hwae (sushi) sometimes?
delicious... :P
Cukes and Gochujang: Perfect Summer Snack
HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cukes and Gochujang: Perfect Summer Snack
mmm, cukes aren't ripe here yet...I'll have to keep waiting. Maybe that will give me time to locate some good gochujang. I love gochujang, but what is the best brand? is there a recipe to make it yourself? I find that most store bought brands have all kinds of rubbish in them. Is that the way it is in Korea too? just wondering...
Cukes and Gochujang: Perfect Summer Snack
I prefer the pickling cukes to the monoliths they sell in the grocery store. Gotta love farmer's markets!
Serious Cheese: Von Trapp Farmstead's Oma
I hope it comes to Minnesota soon!
