You can only eat one type of cheese for the rest of your life...
Mozzarella. I seriously considered muenster for a long while before I realized that I've never tried to make lasagna or pizza with it and I wouldn't make such a momentous decision without at least having tried it first.
Mozzarella though... I can eat it in place of most other cheeses. Yum.

A constant reminder that I need to keep at it. Thank you, Ed!

I've only eaten at one other place to compare, but I much prefer Chipotle to the Qdoba Mexican Grill around here. I dunno, I just think that cilantro rice makes it for me.

do you remember elementary school cafeteria food?
I fondly remember the vegetable soup + grilled cheese sandwiches meals.
I don't remember what else came with it, and the vegetable soup itself was rather bland- it didn't taste watery it just felt like there were no spices to it.
The gem of the meal was the grilled cheese. It seemed like it was made on heavily buttered texas toast (and I assume the cheese was cheap american cheese- but at the time I didn't have the appreciation for better cheeses to compare it) so when you squeezed the sandwich, a little bit of oil/grease would come out but the bread wasn't soggy at all either.
I'd dip the sandwich into the soup like one would dip an Oreo cookie into a glass of milk, and similarly while the sandwich was pretty tasty like that the soup would get some of that butter and some crumbs in it and improve that as well.
I still can't make a grilled cheese I can enjoy like I could those.

HFCS and the Three-Pronged Critique
Yeah... the reason I don't care for it is that it is used in EVERYTHING. If I can avoid it I will, because I'm sure there are other situations where I really can't.
'Food Network Magazine' Lists the Best Burgers in the Country
Onion burgers are good, but somehow I'm thinking the place in El Reno, Oklahoma isn't as great as it says...
Then again I'm biased, I think homemade onion burgers will always triumph.
Whole Chicken in a Can Taste Test
I wonder if it is worthwhile for making a stock at least... better than premade stock hopefully.
Probably not.
What Does Barack Obama's First 100 Days Mean for Serious Eaters?
@JungMan
Just because some of the topics included may not be considered important, they don't really need to be- this is a blog not a newspaper, but if you're going to get angry over something like that . . . well I just hope nobody ever tries to discuss any politics with you.
Obama is the US President, and unless you have some food politic you would like to criticize, can you not let stuff like this slide? Does it have to become an issue?
Ed: I enjoy stuff like this, as I don't often immerse myself in the news due to the sheer quantity of repetition, overanalyzation, and sensationalism. Tidbits like this get lost in the wave of the type of dog the First Family has adopted, and I'm thankful for the roundup.
Americurry, a Blog Dedicated to Finding the Best Japanese Curry in the US
What are the taste differences between Indian and Japanese curry? I've grown up on Indian curry and have been hesitant to try Japanese due to everyone I ask telling me it wasn't worthwhile.
'F*** Yeah, Cilantro'
@Stacey Snacks:
I do that too :x
Writer Gives Up Wine for a Month as a 'Sobering Exercise'
Is it really healthy to rely that much on alcohol to have fun? I may not be the peak of socialization, but I never found alcohol to help me any with that goal.
But then again I like myself and who I am . . . maybe that's the key difference?
TV Cooking vs. Real Cooking
I seem to remember a few 'mistakes' being called during episodes of Good Eats. 'Well if you had done it right it'd be less wet than this... but that's okay you can just add more flour until it comes to a better consistency'
'You ideally want stiffer peaks but this should work okay.' and such.
Please Reply: Need help thinking of baking blog name!!!

... I dunno.
'F*** Yeah, Cilantro'
@jo_wang: I never thought about that, I'm definitely going to ask that next time I go.
Cilantro is the bomb. I've gone so far as to make cilantro-and-onion sandwiches. I feel sorry for those of you who don't enjoy it the way I do, but it's probably some weird genetic thing. Soapy? Not at all. (Though I've never eaten soap, perhaps I should . . . ) And the aroma . . . that's the only thing better than the taste.
Anyone had Cilantro Soup? It's amazing.
Dinner Tonight: Tadka Dal
Look for an Indian food store (or spice store), and you'll be able to find all the dal you need. My tip though is not to buy the spices there unless you can't find a nicer packaged version elsewhere, I used to buy cumin from my local indian spice store, but when the local SAM's Club started selling it, the difference in quality was fairly large. It made the Indian cumin seem stale in comparison . . . at least when buying in bulk.
Your mileage may vary- I think this says more about my local Indian spice store than anything ;P
Bobby Flay's Grilling Tips
@Raiders757 There's a difference between 'grilling' and 'barbecue' too ;P
Spam: What's your policy?
Yeah I initially thought this was going to be a discussion of the canned meat. :D
How Much Did the White House Garden Cost?
Are we sure this is our government at work? I mean... wisely spending money? On things that are better for them? I really don't know what to say . . . other than it's amazing.
Grilling: Lighting the Fire Without Lighter Fluid
@cyberoo, I heard this elsewhere over the winter, but I hadn't tried it yet. I guess this settles it, I'll try it next! I find myself having to constantly pack newspaper in to keep a fire going.
@pthom - it's an ancient form of communication, I think it's similar to papyrus only not as valuable. Nowadays it's best used for cleaning windows and mirrors and lighting fires ;P

Sob, being in mid-Oklahoma, maybe I should just look for some Mexican Coca-Cola...
Photo of the Day: Texas Waffle
Whoa! I had a similar shaped waffle at a Galveston La Quinta hotel- they went all out with the available toppings too... blueberry sauce, strawberry sauce, whipped cream... the list was a bit longer than that but I think that's all I had.
I wonder if it's still there, after the hurricane...
Dear AHT: 'Behold the Nexus'
I wasn't really feeling it until it got to the jalapeno cheese poppers.
But now all I can think of is how can I make one of these from scratch... and serve it as a dinner for four.
In Videos: How To Make a Solar Cell with Donuts and Tea
Oh wow, this was really neat, the only thing I could ask for is if they actually powered something with it.
In Videos: Mark Bittman on Stephen Colbert
@peggysu - I think is point is that humans should eat MORE plant food than they are currently, by eating more of that and cutting down on processed foods and meats. That having a majority of your diet being plant food would help in many ways, rather than the small minority most have it at.
I don't think that's a huge problem here though, we all enjoy our food :D
