I really enjoy Eating Well. All the recipes I've tried have been fantastic and flavorful. They do have ads, but not too many, more like Fine Cooking.

I grew up on Long Island and we called them heros. When I went to college in Boston, they were called subs.

Why so strict?
I've seen lots of places serve cornbread with meat based chili.

I second Vidalia. The Mac & Cheese is to die for. But if you like seafood, Hook has some of the best seafood dishes I've ever tasted and their desserts are interesting and amazing. I've heard good things about Palena, but never been.

I second AbuelaLinda. I went glass and I'll never go back to plastic -- they are safe, easy (fridge, freezer, oven, microwave, dishwasher) and don't stain.

I just started using the Living Cookbook. It is really easy to use and there's a free 30-day trial: http://www.livingcookbook.com/, So you can see if you like it without purchasing it. (I ended up buying it after two days). However, if you have a mac, try Yummy Soup: http://hungryseacow.com/

There is absolutely a difference in Vodkas! But I think the best vodka depends upon what you are going to put in it. Stoli is great for dirty martinis, Ketel One (probably my favorite) is great for fruitier drinks. Well vodka is terrible, and smells like rubbing alcohol, but I think I'll try that Brita Filter, that might do the trick!
