The Great Pea Controversy: Mushy or Snappy?

What an interesting idea - eating frozen peas? I just discovered fresh English peas at the Farmer's Market last year and I am hooked! I actually LOVE eating them raw, which, of course, puts me in the "snappy" category.

French Macarons from Trader Joe's Are Pretty Damn Good

Wow! I had no idea! Do they have them in all Trader Joes across America? I think I'm gonna have to go to Trader Joe's very soon . . .

Weekend Cook and Tell: Superfoods

What a great series! I've been eating lots of superfoods this week - wheatberry salads (mixed with a colorful mix of peppers and red onion), roasted brussels sprouts (yum!), and I tried spelt berries for the first time.

I also like making kale chips and broccoli (all kinds, broccolini, broccoli rabe, Chinese broccoli).

And roasted beets are delicious! I will post pictures of all of these on photograzing!

One question - if I have posted a photo previously, is there a way to tag it for this series? Or do I have to repost it?

Just started getting more serious about this a few months ago and I find it's addictive and super fun!

Taste Test: Cheap But Good Olive Oils

Nice article! I like the Goya, and I typically buy that since it's widely available. I wish I'd read your article sooner! I just picked up a bottle of the Trader Joe's Italian olive oil instead of the Spanish one. Oh well, next time.

As for things to make, I'm still curious about olive oil ice cream. I've seen it, but have not tried it. You definitely would need a pretty strongly flavored oil, I suspect.

Do You Have a Favorite Cheapish Olive Oil?

Goya Extra Virgin Olive Oil - not too expensive, nice and fruity.

What's Inside a Slim Jim?

Eww . . definitely a reason not to eat processed foods. "The bottom three—utility, cutter, and canner—are typically used in processed foods and come from older steers with partially ossified vertebrae, tougher tissue, and generally less reason to live."

Xie Xie: An Asian Sandwich Shop (What a Concept)

Wow, this looks really neat. That lobster roll looks incredible, even though it's hardly Asian (I do love Kewpie mayo, though!). Can't wait to try it the next time I'm in NYC!

Basta Pasta: The Best Pasta You've Ever Had From a Walk-Up Counter

We live a 5 minute walk from Basta Pasta, and have been going there (sometimes almost weekly!) since they've opened. Reno is an incredible cook - definitely try the Bolognese with fusilli, baked stuffed eggplant, the calamari appetizer (it's not fried!), and the arancini. Definitely some of our favorites!
