When I lived in DC for a year, I loved Five Guys. The fries I had were always crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, albeit a smidge greasy. I love getting it with the Cajun seasoning. Yum :)

I'm glad you asked this question. I have a huge unopened tub of nutritional yeast a bought a while back when I was attempting vegan cuisine. I never ended up using it, but now I can.

I just tried it earlier this week because I kept seeing commercials for it and was curious. It's not bad - it took some getting used to for me, mostly because I associate nuggets with their sweet n' sour sauce, but by nugget #10 I was a fan.

Well, I made this tonight and I liked it very much. It was tasty and unexpectedly spicy (spicy-hot, not "there are a lot of spices"-spicy - that I expected ;D). I added some frozen peas in at the last minute and just let everything heat through. Yum :)

Omelets!

Hrm, I've had no problem finding canned pumpkin, either (Southern California). I read about the shortage and saw that my local market was out one week (thus confirming the story to me), so the next time I saw some I stocked up. However, ever since then (it's been a couple of weeks now) the market hasn't run out. Either no one's buying it, or SoCal is hoarding the nation's canned pumpkin.

Herb-rubbed tri-tip roast with roasted potatoes w/ thyme. Yum :)

I think I must be the only person who thought the half-smoke at Ben's Chili Bowl was disgusting :\ Maybe I went on an off day, I don't know, but that dog was oily, tasteless, and don't get me started on the chili...

I made a version of this tonight, using pork loin chops and a pan-searing/finishing-it-off-in-the-oven technique (I don't have a grill), and it was really tasty. Reducing the leftover marinade into a sauce really put this over the top in a good way.

Excellent all around. Thanks for the recipe!

@punctum, I don't think that's gyoza dipping sauce, but rather chocolate fondue (as indicated by the link to Sara Moulton's recipe).

I just tried Douglas's "KFC" mix and honestly it didn't taste anything like KFC. Granted, I didn't use a pressure fryer - I "oven fried" the chicken instead, so the texture wasn't the same. However, I was hoping that the spice mixture would at least taste similar, but it didn't really *shrugs*

I'll probably try it again to make sure my tastebuds weren't mistaken the first time.

Well, I'm off fish now. At least for a while, until I forget all the stuff I just read.
