Poll: Do You Call Them Jimmies or Sprinkles?
lol, sprinkles of course... grew up in Queens and Jersey and never heard of Jimmies until I was an adult
The Crisper Whisperer: 10 Tips to Take to the Farmers' Market
small bills... i am so bad at that. i'm not so good at being social either.
Smörgåsboard: Ice Cream Pops, Banana Pudding
hey, thanks for the shout-out!
Have You Ever Been Kicked Out of a Restaurant? (Or Just Walked Out?)
oh yeah, i've walked out, after waiting 15 minutes after ordering only to find out the chef had to leave the restaurant to buy the ingredients for what we ordered... just one of many problems in fact
Video: Peep Microwave Disaster
i agree with everyone else -- i'm totally laughing about this one
Mixed Review: Vosges' Bacon Chocolate Chip Pancakes
someone just gave me this as a gift... time to try it out
Dos Toros Taqueria: Mission-Style Burritos, As Good as California's?
i wish the food here tasted half as good as it looks in the photos. someone above mentioned anna's in boston. anyone who has tried anna's would be so let down with dos toros.
Are the Speakeasy Bars Getting Old?
If I see one more hipster in an old-fashioned bartender outfit with the dopey mustache selling me $14 brown cocktails, I'm gonna puke.
How Do You Slip the Waiter Extra Tip Money?
i don't know what's the right thing to do, but this situation drives me a little crazy. i thought the curb your enthusiasm episode about sharing checks and tipping was hysterical.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Cake Wrecks'
mostly bundt cake and pound cake disasters... company is on the way, didn't grease the pan well, flip the cake out, half the cake comes out, the rest is still in the pan, gotta frost it just to cover up the disaster. and of course i've made quite a few pound cakes and bundt cakes that looked fine on the outside but once i cut into them, i realized the inside was totally unbaked and runny. then i'm trying to cut it up and bake it in pieces... total disaster. i've done so many things wrong. the funny thing is i know now that some people love the runny streak (or sad streak) inside a cake like that.
Cakespy: Bacon, Cereal, and Orange Juice Breakfast Cookies
i am fascinated by these, especially because i love grape nuts cereal
Mixed Review: Bisquick Shake 'n' Pour Pancakes
personally, the whole concept of this product offends me. the plastic container is virtually empty to hold the water you add to it. aren't we trending away from plastic bottles? this kind of thinking is taking things in the very wrong direction.
Sam Sifton Named New NYT Restaurant Critic
what is this "hard act to follow" crap?
Win Tickets to an NYC Advance Screening of 'Julie and Julia'
it's out of print, but Mark Strausman's THE CAMPAGNA TABLE got me cooking without recipes for the first time. I used to recommend it to everybody when they could actually find it.
Olympic Figure Skater Brian Boitano in a New Food Network Series
marchpane read my mind... sigh
Union Square Falafel Battle: Maoz, Pita Joe, Moshe's, and Rainbow
kind of a late post here, but holy cow... Maoz is just about the worst falafel I've ever tried. How could it be any worse? Did someone actually mention Chickpea? They're the all-time worst.
Rainbow is a standard by which all falafel should be judged -- classic and excellent. City wide, Alfanoose, Mamoun's, Azuri, Olympic (in Midwood) and Taim are all fantastic. Comparing a place like Maoz to those spots is sort of like comparing Pizza Hut to Gruppo, or Taco Bell to Pinche... inconceivable. I say no more chains, European or not. Let's not let NYC turn into a suburban mall.
One Dozen Trader Joe's Eggs, Each with a Double Yolk
only the best at TJ's... yeah right
The Mustards in My Fridge; Which Are in Yours?
you need a whole grain mustard in the fridge, the kind with the seeds not mashed up, for sure
Meet Kelly Choi, Host of 'Top Chef Masters'
personally, I gotta vote yes for diversity on tv
