Zweidler - I'd be interested to see what results you get. I started everything around the same time you did, and I'm in Reading, so we'll get the same weather.

Video: Domino's Stalks People Who Haven't Tried Its New Recipe

Their pizza is still horrible. But now it's overseasoned and horrible instead of bland and horrible.

What Are the Must-Eats in Your City?

Another Philly reader checking in. For cheesesteaks, Jim's. Hoagies at Sarcone's. Walking around and a glimpse of real live Amish people, RTM. Pizza at Lorenzo's on South St. Gelato at Capogiro. A burger at Good Dog, Butcher & Singer, or South Philly Taproom. Breakfast/brunch at Sabrina's, followed by more walking around in the Italian Market. A tour of the PBC brewery. More beer? Go to Monk's, and have their fries and mussels.

Do You Like Eating Pie Crust By Itself?

If I only eat the crust, it's because something went wrong with the filling.

Pumpkin Pie Ideas Needed

I have no problem admitting this...but I use the recipe on the back of the Libby's canned pumpkin.

Dear AHT: Best Burgers in Philly?

The burger at Butcher & Singer is Freaking. Amazing.

And at 5.95 for a weekday lunch? Oh snap.

Watch out though, the Coke will run you 3.50.

Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'

Once I realized that I could microwave apples to prevent excess shrinkage during baking, my apple pies turn out lovely.

Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Lemon Aid

I buy a ton (or what feels like it) of lemons in the Italian Market, let them get really ripe, and then when they are getting soft, I squeeze the bejesus out of them. Add water and sugar to taste. A few limes add a nice mix.

Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Pancake Mountain

A short stack of blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup. I can only finish a short stack, a regular serving is way too much for me.

The Real Emotions Behind the 2009 James Beard Foundation Awards

I love Stanley Tucci. That is heartbreaking to hear about his wife, but I am not surprised at his strength and candor.

The Bible Bar Contains the Seven Foods of Deuteronomy 8:8

I found these for the first time a few years back in Garland of Letters, a New Age-y store on South Street in Philadelphia. I immediately bought them.

Taste Result: TERRIBLE. They are absolutely horrible. I think I'd actually rather eat a real Bible before chowing down on one of these blasphemous bars.
