Coming to New York soon - Where do I buy the *best* ingredients?

If you go to Shopsin's, don't let the menu throw you. It has over 400 items. Lots of cursing from the kitchen, but that's part of the charm. Don't order what "they are having". The food is very good.

Charcoal Grill or Gas Grill

We have both. The Weber without the igniter is about $80. Use lump hardwood charcoal rather than briquets. You have a fire in 20 minutes. The gas grill takes 15 minutes to heat up. So if it's the flavor you want go for the Weber.

Why Can't You Get a Good Slice Outside New York City? 'Wired' Magazine Says It's the Water

It's quality of the flour not the water. Quality bread flour, some whole wheat and high gluten and then watch it rise.

Reheating Pizza

The frying pan on med-low retains crispy crust. No contest.

Gatemouth has made enough dough. She has had more than her 15 minutes. Next.

We did burgers and dogs, but all the sides were with a Mexican flair, as we were with my brother-in-law's family. Beans, rice, Nana's wonderful squash dish with corn and cotija cheese, Papa's homegrown corn on the cob with lime and chile, fresh salsa and guacamole, and my contribution: bacon-wrapped chicken cubes, dredged in a mixture of brown sugar, cayenne and chili powder and baked @400 for 12 minutes...spicy, caramelized goodness.

Ribeye steaks, baked potatoes, and corn on the cob, all off the grill. Gonna get started in an hour or so. (I'm in California - so there!)

Wasn't planned but...I ended up eating 2 1/2 pieces of sweet breads from a local Mexican panaderia, followed by a fresh bagel. :) Very patriotic, no? haha...I crave turkey too for some reason.

Making dinner for my husband and myself: baby back ribs, baked beans, corn bread, cole slaw, and mint-fudge ice cream sandwiches (with homemade mint ice cream courtesy of a David Lebovitz recipe, and double chocolate cookies). I have some sangria soaking in the fridge as well.

Neighbors are bringing over some grilled chicken. I'm making a bunch of different, simple salads and go-withs.

I'm a horrible baker but I'm also making a Pineapple Upside Down Cake. It's just about the last thing I would want to eat on a hot July day but it was requested of me, what can I do?

I'm going off of Martha Stewart's recipe for lamb kofta (found on this site), subbing in ground turkey and making it into burgers. For dessert, a simple lemon chess pie recipe I got on Epicurious.

American living in Canada here, also nursing an upset stomach, so no bbq today. But I do want something fun for dinner. Maybe burgers and potato salad if I can drag my sorry tush to the store.

Yesterday (the 3rd) when everyone arrived, we had the traditional North Carolina Beach dinner: steamed shrimp, caprese salad (tomatoes and basil picked from our garden), fresh corn on the cob (husband ate three ears!) and your choice of key lime or blueberry pie. Tonight it will be the elsewhere discussed butterflied BBQ leg of lamb, green salad, new potato salad and chocolate lave cake on the roof as we watch the fireworks in three counties!

Having the flu or similar, I'm doing nothing but sleeping this 4th punctuated with sips of water.

What I'd love to have? Watermelon, huli huli chicken, bulgogi, laulau, rice, and Hawaiian-style macaroni salad (no onions).

We learned not to stay in the Quarter if you want to actually sleep. We were there recently for Jazzfest and had a spectacular meal at NOLA, Emeril's French Quarter restaurant. I am not sure if Stella's is still there or still as awesome, but just before Katrina we had a fabulous dinner there.
