One time the sig. other decided to make a special Valentine's dinner for us. She settled on a surf and turf steak/lobster dinner. It went fine until she was ready to plate and dropped a glass which shattered right on all of the food.

We got some take out and to this day, she refuses to cook on Valentine's.

@chefmikebenninger - I bet the food was DELICIOUS there. Nice one...made me laugh. Sorry.

I found a staple in my pad thai once. That was the last time I ate from that place.

I found a 12 inch long male hair in a hoagie once. I know it was 12 inches because the sandwich was 12 inches and it ran the entire length. I probably went back there...I mean...it's a cheap, tasty hoagie and the hair was an isolated incident.

I initially had a bit of a textural issue with the bones and skin. I started buying boneless/skinless sardines and make it in similar ways as Alton Brown does. I don't even need the avocado...just mash it up with some vinegar/parsley/salt/pepper...good enough for me. (Not that some avocado ISN'T good...it's awesome...I just don't NEED it)

I dunno if that makes me a non-purist, but I like it all the same :)

I made this for extra credit in a middle school science class and thought it was pretty close to the real deal.

And you can be allergic to stone fruit!!??!! My deepest condolences to that person...

@Kenji

Awesome. Thanks for the info!

$15 or under per person...for the record...

I *may* have smuggled 5 pounds of hatch chiles onto a plane. My gf smuggled a crapload of tamales from Corpus Christi....mmmmmm

Heheh...and the best guess as to why kitniot was banned was because it LOOKS like chametz and the rabbis didn't trust the people to be able to tell the difference.

It's all very silly. Come up with rules that fit you.

Hrm. I think the key to any burrito...be it breakfast or otherwise...would have to be a perfectly fluffy flour tortilla. The innards of the burrito in the pic look really quality...but the tortilla looks flat to me.

But yeah...love the breakfast burrito. Yummy.

I've always been told that white tea should either go for a short steep (3 minutes) or a long steep (7 minutes) but never inbetween... which...seems weird...but when I have good control over temp and good tea...I like the 3 minute steep the best.

@ByrdBrain Yeah, that's true. I guess it was just the cook eating delivery from another restaurant in the dining area...and it was a brand new place too.

It just rubbed me the wrong way and I don't recall having seen that happen before...why not just go eat at that place? It was within walking distance.

I think the easiest answer is to bake it free form...in boule shapes. (http://littleseedsdesign.com/images/whole-wheat-boule-lg.jpg) Nice, big sandwich slices...especially in the middle.

The recipe should be exactly the same, but instead of putting in the loaf pan, you just prep a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake it on that. (Or you could use a pizza stone if you had one...but baking sheet/parchment paper works fine)
