Sack Lunch: Beluga Lentils and Broccoli Rabe

Hi Ms. Bellinger,
I enjoyed a great dish of lentils and leeks with a mustard-herb butter that appeared in Gourmet magazine. I used thyme and parsley for the herbs.
Have you been to Lucques in West Hollywood?

Duck fat cooked the 'pork schnitzel' I dined on at the Crow Bar and Kitchen in Corona del Mar, Calif. The place has a very fun, creative menu.

Types of Onions in Cooking

I use yellow onions as an all purpose onion. Red onion is good for color as in, say a mango salsa with jalapenos, cilantro and mint.
Caramelizing onions are fantastic! They get sweet and can dress up anything from quiche to grilled sausages, burgers, you name it. Might have to try with red and/or maui or sweet onions.

How To Make Reusable Sandwich Wrap

Great idea. And it's less cumbersome than toting a tupperware around. To clean, do you use any special soap on the cloth?

Have higher food prices affected food bloggers?

Yeah, maybe this is a call to blog about affordable, budget-friendly recipes during these times to help others.

All These Articles About Rising Food Prices are Making Me Depressed, Hungry

I am with K. Resta. We should be thankful for what we have. There are people in worse situations.

All These Articles About Rising Food Prices are Making Me Depressed, Hungry

Yeah, this news is humbling. All the more reason to shop at farmers' markets and/or grow your own fruits and vegetables.

Dinner Tonight: Tube-Shaped Pasta with Wild Mushrooms

Judging by the chicken and dumplings from Saveur, might have to start including more recipes from the magazine into the cooking lineup. That dish rocked!! 10 stars!!

I have not been to Lucques but would love to visit. This is a truly outstanding cookbook! I did get to eat a dinner that Suzanne Goin cooked at Prune in New York City when she was publicizing Sunday Suppers at Lucques, and it was wonderful.

Many Michael Mina restaurants have Duck Fat Fries. They are the amuse bouche at StripSteak at the MGM Grand in Vegas as well at the Bourbon Steak locations at the MGM Grand Detroit, in Scotsdale Arizona, and in Aventura Florida (near Miami). We also have them next door to Bourbon Steak in Detroit at Saltwater, when you order the Piedmontese Striploin. Yes, I work for Saltwater, but I can testify that I would buy these delicious duck fat fries, or frites canardes, if you will almost anywhere.

In my best Homer Simpson voice: Mmmmm, Duck Fat

I love making potatoes fried in duck fat.

Also can be found at Michael Mina restaurants Strip Steak (Las Vegas) and Bourbon Steak (Detroit)...and they are served with three different seasonings with three dipping sauces. Even better, when I tried to refresh my memory on the dipping sauces I found the recipe for the fries and sauces on MSNBC...yessir. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17602199/
