Shouldn't Costco Take Food Stamps?

just a point...have any of you ever done any grocery shopping at a bodega, korean deli, food emporium,grisetede, red apple or whatever cockamamie store that call itself a supermarket in nyc? telling people what to buy and how and where to buy it isn't the point of the food stamp program. Saying that cash strapped or poor people should not be able to shop at costco because they wouldn't be able to save money anyway is ridiculious at best; demeaning and rascist at worst.

Got Leftover Gefilte Fish? Deep Fry It

i am definitely doing gefilte fish tempura next year. However, our family actually prefers the jars over frozen or fresh. However, we don't just eat it out of the jars, infact, I didn't even know that you could until saw it done at a friend's seder. Anyway, our family recipe is to chop alot ( alot means alot) of onions to cover the bottom of the pot, a piece carrot or so for each piece of fish, chopped parsnip and celery is optional. Plenty of black pepper to taste. Then dump the whole jar of fish and jelly broth ( or 2 or 3 or 10 jars) on top of the chopped veggies. Bring to low boil and simmer for an hour or so until the carrots are soft. Remove and chill the cooked fish and carrots and serve cold with homemade horseradish. Strain the broth and chill and serve on the side like gravy. Discard the strained onions. Ed, I have some killer homemade horseradish for the serious eats staff if somone wants to stop by on their way home.

Is Artisanal, Handmade Food Always Better?

this whole organic unprocessed fad is a phony game to separate well meaning folks from their money. my wife and daughter drink chocalate soy milk, direct from the "organic" section at Fairway, because they like the taste better. Crushed and processed soy bean mush is more "green" than regular old pasteurized 2%?. Gimme a freakin' break! Tofu and tempeh? Delicious, but two of the most processed foods in the supermarket. It is great to have a healthy diet, but those big fat organic muffins at whole foods are just as bad for you as twinkies. Sorry for the rant!

Store-Bought Chicken Stocks, Reviewed: Which Are the Best?

This post was great and very informative. I've used canned stock until recently. Then last year or so I was making a quick chicken pot pie ( with Bisquik topping). I need some cooked chicken so I covered two frozen chicken breasts with water, added a carrot , a stalk of celery, a small onion and some pepper. Simmered for 15 minutes or so until the chicken was cooked through. The chicken was moist and flavorful right out of the pot and the resulting quart or so of stock was tasty, fresh and delicious. While it didnt have the depth of flavor of the roasted bones and long simmering; it was far superior to anything I've ever tasted out of a can, box or cube.

Rice Cooker Recommendations?

We just bought the Aroma Pro 10 cup from Costco for $30. It is unbelievable how easy and convenient it is.You put the rice and water in, press the button and leave it alond until you are plating your food. Perfect every time . I can and have been making rice in a pot , but it is not set it and forget it. It requires waiting for a boil, then simmering, then turning off at 20 minutes or so. Also, there is no keep warm without drying out feature when you cook rice in a pot. Perfect basmati also.
