lots of people swear by adding a package of instant vanilla pudding to the dough. i've tried it, and it's delicious, especially if you like your cookies extra chewy.

to all the people that love frozen snickers bars, have you tried the snickers ice cream bar? they replace the nougat with ice cream and it's really addicting. they have them all the time at the dining commons and everyone tries to smuggle out as many as they can.

@ bitchincamero..... same deal here! my girlfriends favorite comfort food is mac & cheese, while mine is reese's peanut butter cups, esp. the little ones in the foil wrapping. if i'll be damned if someone calls me womanly for eating them by the dozen :)

food network certainly needs more ethnic cooking! i don't believe this exactly fits their audience demographic, but i found this to be absolutely hilarious. anyone remember coolio?

yes... this is the same dude who won a grammy!

i just watched the video, very interesting! in was born in 1988, and i grew up eating all that bad fast food that bittman refers to. the benefits of no longer eating meat from a health standpoint would certainly be positive, but what about the influence that meat dishes have on the culture of food in America? chicken pot pie, buffalo wings, fried chicken, steak, hot dogs, hamburgers, cheesesteaks, turkey dinners... these are all national classics... would you be able to give them up?

is anyone a fan of poke, the Hawaiian fish salad? it's amazing, i'd bet all the sushi and sashimi lovers here would love it.

The Burger King commericals lately have been pretty clever. Like their campaign showing customers' reactions when they removed the Whopper from the menu for a day. Whopper Freakout hahaa.

as for dislikes...
