Strawberry

Don't give up yet, Will! There is a wedding cake-flavored vodka. James Norton, the Supertaster over at Chow, gagged it down a few months ago.

(Oh, and congrats on the impending marriage!)

Another single lady and fan of the tiny Bandit tetra pack here. I like to buy the red one to drink because it would take me way too long to drink a whole bottle, and the white wine when it's called for in a recipe because I don't like white enough to drink a whole bottle. In fact, I really wish more tiny bottles or boxes were available. I'll have to check these out as well.

I read it at work in the afternoon, usually around 2 p.m. I actually only read blogs while I'm at work, except for Serious Eats and The Hairpin, which are the only blogs I check in on occasionally if I'm at home. I work at a computer all day. On vacation or weekends, I spend much, much less time putzing around online.

I'm finally replacing my cheapo, probably toxic nonstick pots and pans with that great Tramontina set that Kenji recommended. I'm pretty psyched.

A) My parents just redid their kitchen and it's gorgeous and very well planned with top-of-the-line appliances. The only thing that drives me crazy is that even though they're ardent chefs, they bought one of those glossy flat-top stoves (no gas line). They really ought to have known better.

B) Do your parents actually cook? If so, nice knives. My parents and I use Wusthof. Start with a chef's knife if they're out of your range. If your parents' kitchen is in such bad shape because they hardly ever use it, buy them something else more in line with their interests.

@Foodosaurus I went to UConn and have also eaten at that Papa Gino's! Now I'm even more homesick than I was after initially reading the article!

I love these, but like the others, I think they could a saltier.

If cheese doesn't count, then ketchup. But the cheese is mandatory.

So the moral of the story is that if you want to find true love, you need to smear jam on yourself? :)

I always remember the blueberry ice cream my dad made when I was a kid, because it didn't freeze!

Strawberry rhubarb, banana cream, or lemon meringue?
