The Vegan Experience Day 26: The Feed-A-Meathead Challenge
@Kenji
It was, at some point. Gross.
The Vegan Experience Day 26: The Feed-A-Meathead Challenge
I did atkins. I'm still low carb. My blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels are greatly improved over what they were before. But then again, I don't have two daily starbucks venti lattes made with half and half, either.

What's The Most Pizza You've Ever Made In One Night?
I know I made at least 6, myself, last night!

14 Wing Recipes That Aren't Buffalo Wings
I make the tea smoked wings all time time now, to the point that they're known as "aya's famous wings" now. So easy and so delicious.
The Vegan Experience, Day 17: That's Really Good... For Vegan Food.
Wait there is a restaurant called dirt candy????
Coolio gave me a stomach ache
And you are surprised because.....
The Vegan Experience, Day 5: Say No To Faux
Also, I really find Gimme Lean sausage > morningstar farms. Also > jimmy dean for that matter.
The Vegan Experience, Day 5: Say No To Faux
Best veggie burger = tip a canoe in keene, ny. I get it over their (reasonably good) regular burger because it is that good.
Vegan: Chilaquiles with Pepitas, Charred Corn, and Black Beans
If you're worried about protein, black soy beans have more protein than black turtle beans and you can use them in largely the same way. I actually prefer them to regular black beans now.
Can you recommend a mandoline slicer?
Benriner. There are several models.
The Vegan Experience, Day 0
@smsingram, where were you when teachertalk needed a vegetarian fish sauce substitute??!
Oven Mice
be happy you don't have an army of flying squirrels in your ceiling like me. we're at 12 terminated, and counting....
Bottled Barbeque Sauce
I have a bottle of Stubbs and a bottle of DinosaurBBQin the fridge.
Trader Joe's coming to Albany, NY
piles and piles and piles of thai curry tuna.
this may spur me to take 88 when i go home and go past albany, rather than the backroads.
Soup Question
dry ice? for reals? you people are nuts.
Soda: Polar Seltzer's Christmas Flavors
HOLY CRAP WHY DON'T WE HAVE THESE FLAVORS IN ITHACA? I hate how regional the flavors seem to be - eg here in Ithaca we have Vanilla but no Blueberry; in New Paltz I've gotten Blueberry but no Georgia Peach; in Lake Placid I get Blueberry and Georgia Peach but no Vanilla.
I love all of the flavors even vanilla so I'm sure I'd love these... oh I need to find some so badly now!!!!
Vegetarianism vs. Veganism
I don't get the title of this post. Please explain.
Gift Guide: Kitchen Gear For The Cook Who Has Everything
Dude. Those measuring spoons look great!! (hint hint Kenji)
New Beer: Trader Joe's 2011 Vintage Ale
Was totally oblivious to the fact that their Vintage Ale was made by Unibroue - no wonder I enjoy it so much. I'll have to get someone that lives near a TJs to stock up for me.
A Sandwich a Day: Old School Bologna Sandwich at B Spot in Cleveland
That looks amazing. I am actually sitting here eating bologna strait from the bag as a snack right now.
Sticky pie crust!!!
I have this problem too - pie crust sticking to my ceramic pie dish. Never had a problem with metal. No holes in the crust. Definitely not the filling leaking out. Buttering the pie dish well seems to solve the problem.
Eat Right for your Blood Type Diet - Anyone tried it?
Firstly, Monelle, while I am very glad to hear how well you're doing, and by no means do I mean to call you a liar, I find it extraordinarily unlikely that a doctor told you that you would not live more than four months without surgery. I find it much more likely that you were told that people in your condition lived an average of 4 months without surgery, and with surgery the average survival was four years.
Secondly, if the diet works for you, that's wonderful and absolutely you and your daughter should continue to eat in the way that makes you feel best. But the same way that it came up in the raw diet thread, there's no evidence to support the claim that it is the diet that has made you feel better, per se, as opposed to being more aware of what you're actually putting into your body in general.
myself, this sounds like a bunch of nonsense but if people want to follow it, what do I care?
breakfast or sweet Italian sausage in the dressing?
breakfast or italian? if I HAD to pick one it would be breakfast - because of the sage. Italian flavors don't belong in stuffing. But really, I'd go with a nice spicy sage sausage.
