Win Pop Chart Lab's "Constitutions of Classic Cocktails" Poster

I second the gin -- I love a good G&T, but I love trying it other things even more.

Super Bowl: How to Build an Edible Stadium with a Guacamole Field

I did this last year and actually got a request for it again this year – you guys created a monster! :) (Also, I just used salsa and queso for the endzones and covered them in crushed blue tortilla chips. They were a pain in the neck to pipe sour cream on, but I think it worked.)

The Vegan Experience Day 19: Breaking Down Bread

@aintbaroque, you're either being starved or force-fed, I can't decide which fits better. At any rate, I'm completely distracted from the good points of this article by the frankly impressively twisted quoting going on. :)

Chipped KitchenAid stand mixer part

Thanks everyone! I ;) probably won't bother replacing it, since it really is a small chip. I just felt so dumb breaking this gorgeous new toy before I even had a chance to use it. I made cupcakes tonight and I'm pretty sure I'm never ever letting go of this bad boy. (I may even name it, haha.)

@guycooking, is the attitude really necessary? I was afraid I wrecked it before I even had a chance to use it. Nowhere did I blame KitchenAid. I've been dying for a chance to use it eversince I unwrapped it two weeks ago. I don't know why you'd accuse me of "pretending" to cook when I came here for help.

29 Touristy Spots in America That Are Actually Good

@WIAmanda & stuartsaysstop – I went to Hopkins, and I still dream about Faidley's crabcakes. Although I can't discount the rest of Lexington Market; that fishmonger near Faidley's is where I tried frogs' legs for the first time.

Soda: We Try All 127 Flavors from the Coke Freestyle Machine

Soda: We Try All 127 Flavors from the Coke Freestyle Machine

@David -- are you serious?? I JUST came back from that Five Guys with my lunch. I didn't even SEE the soda machine, it was so crowded. Now I am disappoint. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to go back after work; this sounds like SO MUCH FUN.

How Do You Like Your Almonds: Slivered, Sliced, or Whole?

I always feel like I'm missing out when there's a discussion about almonds -- I just don't really enjoy them. (My mom eats them by the handful in any and all forms.) I do, however, love almond paste in most baking applications – especially rainbow cookies, yum!

Cook the Book: 'In the Small Kitchen'

My first kitchen was a four-burner electric deal my sophomore year of college. My roomies and I really had no interest in cooking anything beyond some pasta or maybe burgers in a frying pan -- our dining hall was brand new and pretty spectacular. I do miss hosting cocktail parties there though -- the living/dining/kitchen area was huge!

Where to Eat Near Penn Station, NYC

@SunnysideUp -- I work on 30th right next to the police station and go to Bagel Maven almost every day for lunch. They did have a rocky period a couple of months ago when they changed ownership (and went through quite a few deli guys) but it's gotten much better. The guys there are all friendly and the service is pretty good.

Other than that, this list is glorious. I don't have a lot of time for lunch, so when I find a good place I stick to it, but since I walk past A LOT of these places every day, I'm going to have to try more of them.
