well after reading pollan's omnivore's dilemma I would say that statistically speaking the people that are regularly consuming these types of foods are of a lower SES. Therefore, I believe that it is the responsibility of a higher power to at least put up some regulations because these people are eating this stuff as a regular meal replacement because they can't afford healthier foods that contain the same # of calories needed to survive. It sounds a lot like exploitation to me.

I think it's pretty irresponsible for the people in exec positions to allow such burgers on a fast food chain's menu. I mean it's no secret that a nice sloppy burger at a sit down restaurant will run you 1000 calories (give or take) but to promote such a clearly unhealthy burger to a fast food chain is bordering manslaughter in my books. If people can sue McD's for making them fat, then people should be all over Carl's Jr.'s. The way I see it, the customer is still the one in charge of what they eat and their own health, however, it's not to say that the accountability of the exec's at fast food chains should be diminished because of that. There needs to be a middle ground reached before the game gets too lop-sided; fast food is going to get out of hand or people are going to wise up and cities will have to put a moratorium on the construction of new "restaurants" serving fast food like they have in some areas.

I like to take the leftover stuffing, turkey, green bean casserole, etc. and mincing it up and mixing it with the leftover mashed potatoes and forming thick pancakes and pan frying them then smothering them in gravy.... mmmm.... tasty!

Thanksgiving = Bourbon and eggnog, maker's mark to be exact
Christmas = Mocha or more eggnog
New Year's = champagne and momosas

Gotta go with the stuff i've been drinkin since I was a wee child, Jasmine tea that comes in the gold tin in asian markets. No sugar milk or anything, so refreshing and even good for you too!

i am going to have to say banh mi, i could eat those every single day of my life, maybe even twice a day.

I tend to cook less on the weekends but if I do end up cooking it seems to be more sophisticated food and more of it because I'm usually feeding friends or family and you know you gotta show off the knife skills and food knowledge! haha.

I don't think that its actually butter, I think its more of an oil mixture with pureed garlic and maybe a hint of lemon juice and salt and pepper. Try this out: Garlic Sauce maybe that will help

I thought the purpose of this was to find the best chef not the best personality so if the title of the show holds true I would suspect Hung is the most qualified regardless of how much of an asshole he is. I think if it were not a competition Hung would be a whole different character.

I agree with pictsie, food is a shared experience, people come over to your house for dinner because you want to share a fun and enjoyable evening not one that is strenuous and stressful because one or a few people need to have their own set of rules, food, etc. It's like having to cook for kids separately at every meal, at some point the parents are going to say enough and make them eat what everyone else is eating. I don't have a problem with vegetarians as I find most of them eat something that falls under my food umbrella but vegan's who do it by choice rather than for health issues i have problems with.

yup, the two yolk were a childhood favorite, I used to love this time of year, especially the little red envelopes that would accompany my mooncakes filled with a few extra dollars from grandma!

Me too, being Chinese I am just so used to using them that I pretty much use them to eat everything, my utensil drawer is overrun with them!

I think this is an issue I really struggle with, I am normally only cooking for 2 at the most and more often just for myself so i'm always left with at least a container full of leftovers from the night before. But call me crazy, I really don't much care for leftovers unless they are of the cold pizza type so they usually fester in the fridge until either my roommate or girlfriend devour them as a late night snack or lunch at work the next day. I am constantly trying to figure out ways to deal with leftovers, but I just can't bring myself to eating the same thing more than once a week, it just never tastes the same the next day (except for chili and stews in which i prefer the reheated version)
