Cook the Book: 'Ruhlman's Twenty'

using a thermometer, especially for meat. that way even if your oven is not at the right temperature or the heat your stove gives is too high or not hot enough, you can figure out if something is cooked to the right temperature or not

great post! i miss "bah-lee" and tissue paper packets

i haven't lived in Singapore for years now, but we would call those eating houses coffee shops then. but yeah, they're very different from coffee shops here in the states

Chicago: Phil's Pizza in Bridgeport Fails to Live Up to the Hype

i have to admit my first reaction when i saw your title was "no!!!!!!!!!!!!!" how could it be? phil's is awesome!" then i realized it might not be such a bad thing after all. the hubs reminded me that we liked Phil's pizza the way it is, and we didn't need tons of people checking it out had it gotten a good review. while i love the pizza there, the service is really crappy, so a positive review might lead to even worse service if it's starts getting even more popular. lol

Dinner Tonight: Steamed Tofu with Shrimp and Black Bean Sauce

yum, this recipe sounds wonderful. I would recommend trying this with silken tofu. When paired with a flavorful sauce like this, the delicate texture of the smooth tofu really shines.
