I'm also on board with the dishwasher - he's super genuine and will probably give the Europeans a run. It's good to be aware of how the producers are already manipulating us for and against certain people - damn, it's working!

ok, this recipe has broccoli, but it's not that healthy, but oh so good. Jamie Oliver is my hero. Here's the link: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/jamie-at-home/fresh-tagliatelle-with-sprouting-broccoli-and-oozy-cheese-sauce-recipe/index.html

I've been to Paptzul and I must say the guac is impressive. As are all of the appetizers. I had the same experience as Ed, as our server stood behind the bar watching television rather than taking our orders or keeping our drinks full. Great food in soho though!

I'm launching an experiment on my own blog (cookingbroke.com) taking a hard look at prices at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Farmer's Markets. I noticed after reading the NYTimes article that they had A LOT of signage marking what "great deals" they have. Their own brand of inner grocery items - oatmeal, chicken stock, milk, etc. are cheaper - even in some cases compared to Trader Joe's. However, if you're doing all your shopping at Whole Foods - you could still call it "Three Quarters Paycheck". So far, local produce - still the best and the cheapest.
