btw you can't get it with a teabag, but when you brew it with loose tea and you have a twig standing up in your cup, it's a sign of good fortune! ;-)

Meiji's Almond Chocolate: Original, Smart Sweet, Crispy Puff, and Crunch
wow, I didn't realize they have different kinds now. I guess I haven't bought them for... ages. I used to love the regular one (aka the only choice back then) and I'm curious about the different versions.

Serious Eats Day 2012: What Day Should We Celebrate?
[St. Louis]
where are you Mizbee? I think MoEats is in too.
I may be able to recruit a Photograzing lurker or two.
If we wanted The Good Pie like we sort of talked about our options are for Saturdays. 18th?
Ideas for New Year's Day Dinner?
I normally eat Ozouni on New Year's day and Osechi-esque food for dinner, but this year I'm still in my fiance's parents' so I'm informed that it will be pork roast, sauerkraut and black eyed peas.
After making a medium-well prime rib roast against my will which was deemed too rare, I think the pork will be cooked to death.
Eat Right for your Blood Type Diet - Anyone tried it?
okay... there must be reasons that mainstream medical schools don't offer "naturopathic doctorate" degrees. I find it a bit disturbing when they are called "physicians" without solid medical science knowledge and training.
subbing coconut oil for vegetable oil in baking recipes
http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletters/Harvard_Health_Letter/2011/May/coconut-oil
"But, for now, I'd use coconut oil sparingly. Most of the research so far has consisted of short-term studies to examine its effect on cholesterol levels. We don't really know how coconut oil affects heart disease. And I don't think coconut oil is as healthful as vegetable oils like olive oil and soybean oil, which are mainly unsaturated fat and therefore both lower LDL and increase HDL. Coconut oil's special HDL-boosting effect may make it "less bad" than the high saturated fat content would indicate, but it's still probably not the best choice among the many available oils to reduce the risk of heart disease."

Where to find great Chicken Katsu, fukujinzuke, curry in Chicago
I'm not familiar with Chicago neighborhoods, but maybe you can find something in this list of good places to eat katsu curry (all things you are looking for thrown together) in/near Chicago...
http://www.sumutoko.com/chicago/prairie-backnumber/special/2010/1012/index.html
the shredded cabbage is called Sengiri Kyabetsu or Kyabetsu no Sengiri. Sen = thousand, __giri = __-cut
Not your mom's thanksgiving turkey
so I went shopping for ingredients today, and I couldn't find
Not your mom's thanksgiving turkey
this can't be more perfect for this year's T-day dinner.
Daikon?
@Kenji
it wasn't kakuni, but I braised daikon with pork neck bones the other day. oh my god the daikon soaked up porky goodness and it was so good.
I also LOVE buri daikon, but there's no chance getting kanburi (winter wild yellowtail from Japan sea), so I won't even try. IMO that's the best way to enjoy daikon.
Pizza delivery BLACKOUT!?
Maybe they had some mugging incidents in the past in your area??
When we moved my fiance where he lived for 2 years, we tried to order pizza at 11pm. They told us they didn't deliver in the area after dark! and when we found a local chain that did deliver, the driver told us to watch him get into the car (so he won't get mugged). The 'hood was used for the filming of The Wire, so it is kinda understandable, but it scared me to death.

@mayan
I'd be totally copying what Molly did (yes I'm an Orangette fan), if we were having the wedding where we live...
Cooking for peers @ work: Do you, and do they think you're nuts?
the gender and baking thing came up on Talk before, and I actually felt lucky I work in science (though this may not be the case in male-dominated science field like computer sci and physics?? anyone?)
Cooking for peers @ work: Do you, and do they think you're nuts?
I was a DB (designated baker) in my grad school lab! when I left/graduated they wanted me to send them baked goods...
I also did a sushi and tempura lesson for my former coworkers :-)
Daikon?
This reminded me something on Twitter that the White House serving the Korean president "Daikon radish" and "Kabocha squash" were offensive to Koreans because they have Korean names too. thoughts?
grating fresh ginger
I love this thing but I don't own it here in the US...

Enter the 2011 Serious Eats Pumpkin Carving Contest
so... when is it going to be announced?
I'm dying to get the pawtographed SE book.
Glucose syrup
@Lorenzo
haha, I've always wondered why I can't find unflavored Karo. Why don't they make it? that's stupid.
@jakey
invert sugar sounds like half fructose to me (just because "invertase" converts sucrose into glucose and fructose)...
this is glucose.
Glucose syrup
I think regular corn syrup like Karo is pretty much just glucose.
Mock Bread, Mock Cheese, Mock Food?
I actually like canned mock duck. I'd take that over dry pieces of chicken.
