Serious Chocolate: 3 New 3 Musketeers Bars
I have been eating the truffle crisp for about six months and I do like it. I think I like it better than the classic. The crisp does feel like it is meringue but is much sturdier and since there is not much fluff it 'feels' lighter.
Video: 'A Slice of Life,' a PB&J Love Story
1) I loved that his house is the shape of House
2) The Mary Poppins was an english muffin
3) Did the video imply the two bagels were on the batting for thesame team (you know, butter or cream cheese)?
Meet and Eat: Paige Brocious, Serious Eats Intern
Go Huskies! Nice to hear another from Northeasterner (class or '92). It's been awhile since I been back on campus. What is good to eat on (or more probably) off campus? Since this is your co-op what is it being applied to?

Served: A Day at the Grocery Store
I love Drunken Goat Cheese! It's a good nibbling cheese but also doesn't overpower other foods.

Video: Happy Hot Dog Man Infomercial
I was with it till the Ketchup critter and mustart monster. I don't need something vomitting condiments or having it go thru the nose.
Did anyone just feel the Earthquake on the East Coast?
I'm in Columbia, SC and I was on the phone with a client concentrating getting their equest done to notice anything else. But as soon as I got off the phone that everybody in my office was talking about. Since we are an IT and software company, we were checking all the web sites. We had this and now we have to worry about Irene. Maybe I keep that watermelon I bought at the farmers market for the weekend.
In Food Policy This Week: 5 News Bites
Forget the canned salmon: I want to know what canned squid taste like.
Cook the Book: 'The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook'
I'm seeing a lot of comments for the 'Little House' books. There is a Little House Cookbook, with all the recipes from maple candy to 'long winter' bread. I got it for Christmas one year and I still love it. That's how I know I have a great book in my hands: when I'm so imersed in the story that I'm sitting at the table with the characters eating the food with them ('Pie for breakfast? Thanks Ma Wilder!' 'Mr. Wonka? Can I have a ladleful from the choclate river too?' 'MUST FIND HONEYDUES')
What to do with Ghost Chili Peppers?
When people are telling that ghost peppers are extremly hot, they mean it . Habeneros are 100,00 on the scowlville test, ghost peppers are 900,000.
Serious Reads: Tomatoland, by Barry Estabrook
I listened to the author on NPR's Fresh AIr. I knew the industrial tomato was 'a tastelss orb' but I didn't realized how bad things have gotten. Like how tomatoes shold not be grown in Florida: It's too humid, with too many insects and are liteally grown in sand, so water is wasted.
He also gave how he got the idea to investiage tomato growing practices: he was behind a truck filled with green tomatoes down a road when the truck hit a bump or pothole. Tomatoes came flying out and the author swerved from being hit. He got out of the care and looked at the dicth by by the road. Not only the green tomatoes survived the pavement to bounce into the ditch, but none had split or even bruise.
Sauce-Injected McNuggets
The Mcnuggets part is reason is easy: you are trying the new sauces. I'm glad they brought back the sweet chili.
Foodie gifts (or gift cards) for Canadian & soon-to-be Canadian
It is Winnepeg. The groom worked for a while in Alberta, that was how I got confused. I'll check these out. Thanks.
Foodie gifts (or gift cards) for Canadian & soon-to-be Canadian
The problem I have is that I know more about the bride, since we are related by marriage, then the groom. I'll see if I can google him.
This Week at Serious Eats World Headquarters
As much as I like seeing what happened at HQ, it still stings that there are no Dumpling pictures this week nor anymore weeks :(
Do You Remember Hojo's?
When I was living in St. Louis in the late 90s, I use to eat at the HoJo that was close to work. It was nostalgia to eat there, since it the place looked it hadn't been change since the place I went to as a kid (70s). When it closed, I found it was the last HoJo west of the Missippi. :(
@studyzone: like the one in St. Louis, the HoJo resturant was attached to the HoJo hotel. When Howard Johnson started his chain of hotels, they where safe family places with good (for then) food. Then they allow anyone, not just those staying at the hotels, eat at the resturant. The resturant got so famous for what they served (see the above comments) that resturant only places showed up. Sadly, like the one I eat in St. Louis, they didn't change with the times
Soft shell crabs
Just want to thank you for your suggestions. I took scarletini and annient's advice and pan fried them (in a combo of butter and butter flavored olive oil). I did dredged them in flour that had a pinch of papirika in it. I served with rice, a lemon pan sauce and microgreens that I also picked up at the market. At first it felt wierd eating a shell, but you get taste that sweet meat and before I knew it the two crabs were gone.
Cross-Border Shopping Guide: Canada
I've seen half of those Candy bars (and had the coffee crisp and Cadbury's) at the World Market chain.
Serious Reads: 'Ravenous,' by Dayna Macy
@MandyEats "Poor little upper-middle-class (possibly rich) girl with no real problems". An abusive father and indifferent mother sound like real problems to me.
The Cider Press: Foggy Ridge Cider in Dugspur, Virginia
Being an enthusiastice cider drinker, I'll be looking for Foggy Ridge when it comes to SC.
Tippler's Taxonomy: A Guide To Cocktail Categories
For your Beer and Cider based drinks you should include Shandies - Beer mixed with a flavourings like ginger or another spice. I've seen them in Ghana and the Caribbean. In fact I had a Carib's Shandy last night.
Favorite food-related memoirs? (And ones to avoid)
I do have to warn about her later books like, Two towns in Provence, which is less about the food and more travel or worse about herself (no we don't need to to go into detail about your foot problems).
Favorite food-related memoirs? (And ones to avoid)
@andrearode: I'm reading The Spice Necklace right now. It's great reading this thinking some of the people the Vanderhoofs meet are would be cousins of mine (Dad's family from 4 islands and Granddad was a cook). The Art of Eating is more like 3 books plus essay collections, but it is still good. Some parts do feel a bit elightist, you you have to remember how isolated she was grew up and and does learn what it feels like to be on the other side.
Bourdian and Riechl are also my faves.

@richopp: Your in Atlanta aren't you? You mentioned Houston's and I only seen them in Atlanta.
USDA Unveils 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans
I'm part of that "over 51, all African-Americans, those with type 2 diabetes, those that have hypertension or high pressure or kidney disease" group that is warned to cut thier sodium down to 1500 mg, 1/2 teaspoon) a day (actually I'm in more than one catagory for that group). My first thought was how? Yes I am eating better and trying to cook more myself, but I know the resturants aren't helping and and sodium is in places you don't sould be (salt in frozen foods, really?). The worst part of this is I care and I try to make a difference in my eating habits. I have too many relatives who refuse to change, and some have paid the price too young. Others who just don't look at the side of the box and think they are doing fine ('look it says its low fat!' That is a 3 Musketeers bar!)
Video: 'Ordering the Chicken' Scene on IFC's New 'Portlandia'
I heard this scene on NPR last week. I still have the same question: 'Woodland raised'? A chicken in the woods would be quick work for a lot of prey animals. Only game fighting roosters would have a chance (I'm in Columbia, SC home of the USC Gamecocks).
