An Epic Quest For Pizza Immortality: Eating Nothing But Sausage Pizza for a Month
Well, and I hope this is not TMI but after just a few days of eating nothing but pizza (and other cheese/meat/carb-based foods) and being in great pain - I hope for the sake of his own poo that he does not strictly stick to this... or that he drinks a shit-ton of coffee...

Why I Hate 'Hell's Kitchen'
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for so clearly articulating these thoughts; so far I've only been able to throw up my hands in digust and go "UUUUUUUUGH"
Olympic Figure Skater Brian Boitano in a New Food Network Series
"What would Brian Boitano do if he were here right now?
I'm sure he'd kick an ass or two, that's what Brian Boitano'd do."
Matt & Trey are awesome; this show - not so much.
French in a Flash: Trout en Papillotte
Well, I'm not ashamed to admit I teared up... but I have a soft place in my heart for stories of loved ones/animals, especially stories of those who are both.
These are becoming some of my favorite columns, simply because of the heartfelt (and as was said above, eloquent) stories that are just the best kind of bonus. Pretty sure I haven't mentioned it before, so just wanted to say something. :) Thanks.

Am I the only person who feels like they don't fall exclusively into the baker or cook categories? I mean, I bake AND I cook, and I do BOTH with varying levels of success. Don't feel like I'm better at one.. and they have very different measures of accomplishment, IMHO.
Anyway - been baking some blondie bars lately that come out very well for the ease of effort. Something magical happens when you melt a stick of butter and stir brown sugar into it. Something magical indeed.
Video: The Fast Food Song
1) Why did I just watch the whole thing?
2) Like how the girls' dresses remind me of a slutted-up disney snow white.
3) How sad would it be to have this as your one 15 minutes of fame? It's almost as bad as "Lets Go To The Mall" on HIMYM.

Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Layer sauerkraut in a casserole dish, place pork chops on top and season (I use cracked black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika), cover with lid or seal with foil, bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. I like to make mashed potatoes with it, but have also just done steamed veggies on the side.

We called it "chicken and glop", but it was chicken and rice. How did my mother put up with us?
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
It depends on the weather for me, but at this time of year it's roast chicken, mashed potatoes, peas (homegrown, please; frozen peas from the store are inevitably overripe), green salad, and pie.

My favorite family dinner would have to be posole. We have it every christmas eve with fresh tamales and it is sooo good.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Gosh, my favorite family dinner!? That's hard . My family is full of great cooks so I guess it has more to do with the atmosphere. So then I would have to go with Christmas eve dinner. 14 cousins plus 16 Aunts and Uncles all eating and drinking and being merry. Usually there's a goose (which doesn't hurt) and floating islands for desert. super yummm, it warms my heart just to think about it.

Boring but comforting - an overly stuffed tuna salad sandwich, on wonderful crusty rye bread, a slight smear of mayo, crisp iceberg lettuce, juicy tomato, cut in half please.

Irish Coddle. A big pot, almost stew but with not quite enough liquid, of potatoes, bacon, sausage and onion. Gets you fattened up for hibernation season.

barbeque salmon and broccoli slaw, mom's favorite summer specialty
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
One of my favorite family meals is banh xeo. They're savory, yellow crepes and having all sorts of people in my family through marriage, some being born in Vietnam, some being born here, etc., my mom gets a lot of different requests as to what to put in them. First she makes the vegetarian kind for those folks then regular Americanized ones then the hardcore ones.

Favorite foods: All those carby, cheesy, meaty things that keep me from being a skinny minnie (don't get me wrong, I'm not a fatty. I eat whatever the hell I want and work out twice as hard - wouldn't have it any other way).
Last bite on earth: Beef Tataki, Tropical Maki, and Kimchee soup from my favorite local sushi bar - Hanaroo... eaten on a gorgeous beach somewhere.
