Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 94: Too Many Chocolate Chip Cookie Taste Tests

The things you sacrifice for us Ed. We appreciate all your efforts and stamina. That extra 2 lbs I'm sure is well worth it. Not many people get this opportunity. :) Have a great CCCTT afternoon!

How to Make Milk Froth in Your Microwave

Thanks Erin. But I also heard that it's best not to heat dairy in the microwave.

Off the Beaten Path: Ming Chan Dong's Giant Kimchi Bun

I always pass by this place, which is right not to a very busy Korean bakery. I appreciate that the food is created by these hard working Korean ladies. You should try to explore other Korean shops along Northern Blvd. as well. :)

No he didn't. Kevin said vegetarian food isn't as satisfying as meat? I'm disappointing at his comments.

Any food you could eat daily til' you kick the bucket?!

Any types of green. Can't go on a day without some vegetables in life. Oh and bananas and apples as well. Love me some honeycrisp this fall season. :)

Sous-Vide Cooking with Heston Blumenthal

i'm also tired of all these 'special' gadget. I reminisenced the good old days of hour roasted meals that don't come from a metal container. Granted it is a very useful machine, but let's not let advanced technologies take away the authentic methods of cooking food. Great and informative article though. Learned a lot about sous-vide.

Cereal with Water and Other Cereal Compulsions

I also use water for my cereal because try to avoid dairy nowadays. Skim milk has a water consistency anyway, so I got used to it.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 94: Too Many Chocolate Chip Cookie Taste Tests

I think that maybe this is the right week for this to happen. It's like the team who loses the first game of the season, gets that fire in their bellies, then comes back and blows everyone away. With the holidays coming up, this small slip-up will give you that extra drive to stick to your guns and stay committed like you have for the previous 93 weeks. You've got the one crappy week out of the way, now you have six to show off your new lifestyle decisions!

Off the Beaten Path: Ming Chan Dong's Giant Kimchi Bun

Does anyone know what happened to this place? I went over there today and it was closed :(

Looked in the window and all the tables and chairs etc. are still in place but it just looked rather dead like it has been closed for a while.

Just wondering if they closed down or maybe have moved? Really wanted to try one of those kimchi buns as well as the Ma Hua someone mentioned on another site.

Has to be the stuffing! It's the only time of the year I make it. And ooooh so good the nest day- IF it makes it!

My favorite Thanksgiving side is cornbread-sausage stuffing. So rich, so good!

Agree with RJ Foodie, the word diet is a 4 letter word to me, just brings up all sorts of bad associations including the word, bad...

Of all the foods, who can blame u for too many C3's........

Go play some squash, drink some water and reset your internal eating barometer....try on some of your old pants and keep Thinner around....

And have a happy T-day!!!!

Green bean casserole, it's not really special but we only have it twice a year. I guess that's what makes it special.

@Pupster - There's something about biting into a cookie that makes it more enjoyable. Perhaps it's the knowledge there are more bites to come?

@Ed - 2 lbs isn't horrible. If presented with a choice between cookies or 2 less lbs, I'd choose cookies. You can always exercise a little more tomorrow.

Fried Turkey, stuffing and gingersnap gravy in one bite. By far my favorite holiday as it is truly THE holiday for food lovers! I can't wait!!

I agree with betteirene--it's darn cold outside and all I want to do is crawl in bed with a huge bowl of mashed potatoes...fie on the winter!

And hey, how do you NOT gain weight tasting cookies all week? Jeez!

2 pounds is nothing...you've come so far, and one week can't take that away.

My moms - potatoes, summer savory and crushed crackers, also includes tons of butter and a few onions - I miss stuffing since it started killing people :(

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 94: Too Many Chocolate Chip Cookie Taste Tests

Ed - "get right back on the diet horse"....the word diet worries me. I am under the belief that the only way you can master the weight thing is to not think in terms of diet. Diet implies restrictions and bad stuff. I don't like the word "lifestyle change", either, though. I am sure you will be back down those few pounds soon...but you may want to rethink your use of the word diet...just a thought. :-)

I love homemade warm applesauce!! That and the apple pie are my favorite part of Thanksgiving. I don't like most of the other food including the turkeY!

Thanks for the giveaway!
