How to Introduce Craft Beers to New Beer Drinkers
My husband drinks craft beer, but I just can't get into it (or any beer, for that matter). I will enjoy a lambic occasionally, which tastes more like candy than beer, but most of all I like ciders on those hot days.
Cook the Book: Hybrid Quick Bread
@Embackus
Bittman is also a big proponent of doing stuff on your own, and a lot of people get freaked out by bread, or think that it's too much effort. So I think using a food processor (which I don't consider to be that fancy; less so than a stand mixer, at any rate) might convince those who'd otherwise move on.
And FWIW, Bittman did an article for the NYT last year about outfitting a kitchen on the cheap. He recommended getting everything from a restaurant supply store, and I think the only mechanical device he recommended was the processor -- and even that was optional.
New Jersey Dispatch: 99-Cent Swad Micro Curries Tasting
I'm a big fan of the Kitchens of India packets (I love their Rajma Masala, my husband their Palak Paneer). Served with a piece of Trader Joe's garlic naan, it has become my new lazy comfort food. The thing that always surprises me is that they're (so says the box) not really unhealthy - no preservatives, I know all of the ingredients, etc. The sodium levels are still way high, but my BP is low so I'm okay with that.

My then-boyfriend, now-husband took me to a local Indian place for one of our first dates. I knew right away that he was a keeper.
