Serious Eats - seriouseats.com

there is a little produce and minor grocery near me that I love. It is small and the produce is often local, always cheap and looking fresh. the meat and bakery are cash only, which is weird to this girl of the age of plastic, but it gives a nice old-timey feel to shopping!

this is so funny to me! I commend your efforts and all others who have commented. I guess I am the exception to the rules? I didn't eat meat for a long time and at my vegetarian stage, my doctor tested me for AIDS my blood labs were so off! Now, I eat pork and beef occasionally and feel so much better, look a hell of a lot better, and am not upset about it. Obviously, I do my best to only eat animals who had a "happy life" and refuse to eat any factory-farmed beings. Still, it is interesting how different people can be!

i am a huge filet fan! love ribs too

roasted summer veg pasta salad (the secret is i grow the veg and herbs myself) and my banana nut bread

ok, my last sentence got messed up

.....basically anything that you would use zucchini or winter squash would work. big pumpkins dont have a lot of "pumpkiny" flavor

seriously, read the whole recipe twice before you even start! also measure by weight and use vodka in pie crust

loads of stuff! many cuts of chicken, beef, pork, and lamb; zucchini and peppers and mushrooms; pizza, and fruit!

sure! use about 1/4 cup of it with however much oil and vinegar to make the acidity and viscosity how you like. Basically, make your fav vinaigrette but add cottage cheese....OR.....use is in place of mayo/sour cream in creamy dressings

another idea is to sprout them and add them ....to...anything!

the last tiem I had Wendy's Chicken (in a salad) I was old enough to pay attention. It had a rubbery mouth feel and weird layers/striations nothing like real meat. Very sci-fi

Here's the Beef

I found myself with a similar dilema back in december and I decided to experiment with a new ingredient every week. Often, it was possible to make multiple things with it. Remember my post asking about cow's feet?

The most recent were durian and pork skin. I jumped at them when I saw them since it was the first time I had spotted either. I still have no clue what I am doing with either, but I look forward to the challenge!

Most people get pounced on for asking something really stupid, a topic that has already been covered, or posting SPAM. I have posted a few times and got nothing but help or a comment that made me pull a muscle laughing. The folks in here are great, just dont let the negatives get to you
