Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

On our first Valentine's my then-brand-new boyfriend made me a bacon weave, like for the bacon log wrapped around cheese. Heart attack on a plate! We decided to forgo the cheese, and instead he cut the woven mat of bacon into the shape of a heart. Love. Delicious, delicious love.

Sorry, full article's not online yet (I'll put up a link once it is)

This is really irritating. Incomplete articles (or articles about incomplete articles) are nonsense. I think Serious Eats sometimes errs on the side of quantity, not quality.

Do You Hate Popcorn?

I'm pretty sure this is what you would call a first-world problem. A tirade against popcorn, really? :)

Got A Grilled Cheese Tattoo? Get A Discount

Maybe it's just my monitor, but wow does that tattoo need some moisturizer! Otherwise it's gonna fade out and then where will they be, paying full price for grilled cheese?

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: La Quercia

Serving it implies that I'm sharing it, and I doubt that's gonna happen! My favorite way to serve it is to just eat it plain, savoring every bite.

Dinner Tonight: Roasted Beet, Goat Cheese, and Avocado Sandwiches

@Burger365: 40-50 min. is a decent amount of time to cook something for a sandwich. And I always cut beets into wedges before roasting. And nope, I don't peel them. I might be a heathen, but they taste great to me! :)

Dinner Tonight: Roasted Beet, Goat Cheese, and Avocado Sandwiches

Yum! Would it be faster to slice the beets, then roast them in a foil pouch? Must they be peeled? (I don't peel the roasted beets that I eat in wedges.)

Healthy & Delicious: Pioneer Woman's Cranberry Sauce

I'm convinced The Pioneer Woman is the new Paula Deen, with her high-fat/high-sugar recipes. I won't wade through all the weird self-deprecating bilge on her site to try the recipes, but I'm sure some of them are delicious. It's easy to forget that her family are active ranchers, and they can probably eat this stuff with fewer ill effects to their waistlines than the average person!

Cook the Book: 'Good Eats: The Early Years'

I don't really have any Thanksgiving stories other than the usual overeating and watching the parade. However, this Thanksgiving is my first with my boyfriend, and my first where I'm not going home for the holiday, so I'm betting that we'll have some stories to share after!

Thanksgiving Foods We Love to Hate

"The homage to Christopher Columbus—and his big Italian eyes that discovered America..."?? Right. What did Vikings eat, again? I mean, if we're gonna push this "discovery of America" connection to Thanksgiving (though I don't know why you would), let's go further back.

And this: "...Aunt Esther's sweet potatoes might contain traces of skeletal systems." So, presumably, might that fried chicken that's being advocated.

Should Mercury-Filled Canned Tuna Be Legal?

While I feel terrible for Deborah Landvik-Fellner and her suffering, I think that we might be jumping to a knee-jerk reaction here. The question posed here: "Shouldn't tuna be labeled if it's so dangerous?" is rather leading. The woman in this story ate it daily for 12 years; any food eaten in that quantity would have negative side effects, I would think. Even carrots can turn your skin orange, if you eat enough of them. So no, I don't think there's necessarily a need for labelling tuna as a harmful substance -- consumers must take at least some responsibility for knowing what they're putting in their bodies and for varying their diets. Putting a label on tuna cans of sort of like putting a label on a package of bacon, warning that it might cause you to gain weight.
