Help, I am dating a vegetarian!

New territory for me, but I am looking forward to the challenge. He eats almost all his meals out, and I am trying to convince him that he needs to eat in more. I am stymied, however, as to what to cook beyond vegetarian pasta dishes. Suggestions for good, basic cookbooks?

Cheap Local, Sustainable, and Organic Food: Is It Out There?

I'd like to hear what people who are not lucky enough to live in NYC and have all the options are doing. I live in Houston, and farmer's markets are thin on the ground here--I only know of two, and they are both one day a week. We are pretty limited here to Kroger's, Whole Foods, and Central Market. We don't really have butchers, cheemakers, or fishmongers like you do in NYC. Whole Foods I find to be obscenely expensive, and hate shopping there out of principal. Central Market is a great resource, but I work all day and don't live near there, and the thought of having to schlep over there at the end of a ten or eleven hour day pretty much leaves the Kroger's on the way home as my only option. I have heard that some of the Mexican meat markets are worth a try, but haven't checked that out yet.

Who knew Eat 'n' Park and Big Boy were one and the same? Well, Robb, I guess. Actually, if i had called and asked my stepfather, who is a real roadfood warrior, he probably would have known it.

Not to mess with Rob's childhood memories, but Eat 'n' Park and Big Boy are two different restaurants you find in western Pennsylvania. I remember Eat 'n' Park for the waitresses' brown polyester uniforms, and Big Boy for, well, the Big Boy sculpture out front.

Salumeria Biellese: The BYOB Hero Review

Catering Prom Dinner

i don't know if you have done it already, but i made the cook's illustrated manicotti last weekend, and they were a revelation. instead of filling those slippery tubes of pasta, you soak no-boil lasagna noodles for a few minutes to soften them, then roll up the filling in those. i am not a fan of lasagna, but have made it when i needed something for a crowd. no more, manicotti all the way for me.

So, Vegetarian Marshmallows. Can they be done well?

I'll Take (a) Manhattan

Are you a Martini or a Manhattan person? And how would you like it?

Manhattan, without a doubt. The best Manhattan I've ever had is the Midtown Manhattan at Bel Ami created by J. Morgenthaler made with Rittenhouse 100 rye and Carpano Antica Formula vermouth.

Since the kids have left the nest, I never have anyone to eat with anymore. I am embarrassed to say it's usually the mayonnaise and banana sandwich or a baked potato for me. I need some new ideas. lol

The dish of choice would have to be baby spinach, bibb lettuce, portabello mushrooms, sliced Vidalia white onions, toasted almonds in a Balsamic vinegar and olive oil vinaigrette.

I like to make a casserole or big dish of something so I can eat off of it the whole week. Homecooked all week and only actually cooking once.

For me, it doesn't get much better than a grilled egg and cheddar cheese sandwich slathered with Kraft mayo! YUMMY!! Thanks for the giveaway!
