I'm levinedym, a 20 year-old Filipino-Chinese in the Philippines. Still preparing for a job (just graduated -- two days ago!), but it will definitely be in the infotech/compsci field.

I don't actually cook ('cause I still live with my parents), but I plan to do so when I go out into the big bad world on my own. I am a foodie; I love reading, looking, smelling, feeling, and tasting good food. I'm an Asia-phile (since I live here), but Western Cuisine is totally an option.

I stumbled on SE while 'Net surfing for a recipe for my mom. It's been part of my morning ritual ever since!

Sack Lunch: A Luxurious and Deeply Aromatic Noodle Lunch

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who brings noodle soup for lunch.

What I do is keep the soup in a vacuum bottle, and the solids (noodles, toppings) in a Tupperware. If I feel up to it, I might separate the toppings from the noodles (to keep them from getting soggy).

When eating, you can always pour the soup in one part at a time. This means you can bring a smaller Tupperware, at the same time, you get hot soup throughout the meal!

Cooking with Kids: There Will Be Fish Blood

@mamster: Your daughter Iris is some kid. I haven't really met any kid who was... well, INTERESTED in fish guts. Some would say it's only a morbid curiosity, but I think it's not.

Look at it this way: she'll grow up being unafraid of dealing with real food. That means a potential for real cooking.

It's intriguing. Anyone wearing this will be... dare I say it? The butt of all jokes.

David Lebovitz's Candied Bacon Ice Cream

I'm ecstatic to see people raising bacon to the highest levels of gastronomy... In this case however, bacon ice cream will do just fine.

MAN, that looks tasty.

Western Origins of Japanese Foods

Interesting, apart from the English grammar errors. Sorry, I'm a bit O-C about English spelling and grammar.

@Robyn Lee: Your posts are always so special. Keep doing what we all love!

Omurice, and kari raisu... MMmmm. I like J-Curry over the Indian original. The Indian version is a bit too strong for me...

Candy Bar Identification Quiz

10/20. That is DISAPPOINTING. And only around 5 of those products are available where I'm from.

@AllenW: Turns out I'm worse. (T.T")

Cook the Book: Ham, Brie, and Apple French Toast Panini

Transcendent! It makes the caloric intake all the more worthwhile...

Paula Deen Is Trying to Kill Us, Part 4: Bacon, Doughnut, Egg Burger

Just finished browsing the back links. She is a serial killer and must be stopped! But then again, all the recipes would be great if we didn't have to care about fats and what not. She's a culinary visionary... but for a different species.

I know I'm late to the comment party, but I just have to say that I made this ice cream and it is GOOD. Y'all go out and try it.

I'm Rosezilla (named for my three year old daughter and the giant lizard thing that stomped Tokyo...it's what I call her when she's being...how you say...willful). My real handle is Mandy. I live in Santa Barbara County again after growing up here, but lived for 11 years in western Sonoma County...home of fabulous food and wines. It spoiled me rotten, to become an adult surrounded by all of that luscious produce and foodie opportunity. I managed a microbrewery's kitchen for 6 years, and have SERIOUS opinions about ales, should anyone care for them. Now I'm a home cook primarily, although I do a little catering here and there. My daughter's favorite foods are salmon and broccoli, so I feel as though I've triumphed a bit over the three-year-old beige-food diet. We do, however, eat at McDonald's every Friday after school...it's our little Happy Meal indulgence...and those tiny cheeseburgers are SOOO good. I live with and cook for my mother, as well. I am dating a high school band director, who has actually LOST weight being with me, as he's eating more asparagus and less fast food. I think that size 14 should be the new size 6. I am curvy, healthy, happy and active...and think that excellent foods should be part of everyone's diet. I am active in the "S'Cool Food" movement here, which tries to bring local and sustainable healthy food into school cafeterias. And I love, love, love this website.

@alacto-- I grew up in Williamsburg! If you're still there, I'm quite jealous of your accessibility to Aroma's. I was a slave at the Cheese Shop for a few years, and while I can't stand the house dressing any more, oh the cheese and wine selection....mmmmm

Bro recently made these avocado eggrolls for a party. They are wonderful. We didn't use a sauce - no one noticed :D.

Whip 'em up and bring 'em down to the party!!

Mrs. L, a, ahem, 40 something (at least for two more weeks) who is just learning to cook and dealing with the fact that I own over 500 cookbooks (over 400 that have never been cooked from!). I live in San Jose CA and I see dead people for a living (no really, I manage a cremation business). I love serious eats to help me find out what's going on in the food world and to make me feel even more behind cuz I cook recipes I see here rather than open up one of my many cookbooks!

Hi,

I just found this wonderful site -- I found a link at FoodNetwork.com. I live in New Hampshire, love cooking and experimenting with new types of dishes. As a cook, I've gone from a repeating 15-20 dishes to new dishes everyday (or so).

I'm particulary found of Ellie Krieger's Healthy Appetite, Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa.

I also collect cookbooks - and my favorite right now (non-FoodNetwork) is Gordon Hamersley's Bistro Cooking At Home. Gordon owns a local Bistro in nearby Boston.

Looking forward to a long association with you all!

Hola! I'm Jym Brittain, I dont hide behind a screen name, so I use jymbrittain. I'm both a doctoral student and a college instructor/administrator. I'm 43. I've been happily married for 17 years. I'm the father of a very active 4 year old boy. My wife would agree that I do about 90% of the cooking and she's grateful. I've been cooking since I was 7, learning first at the elbow of my Mom and my Nana (grandmother from Malta) then through the cooking shows on PBS and now the FoodPorn channel and PBS.

My passion is bringing a plethora of flavors, styles, techniques and dishes to the dinner table to share with family and friends. Having lived in 4 different states and having traveled to a few different countries helps with this. Culinarily speaking I'm probably best known for my take on Chicago deep dish pizza with Chourico and for trying to form a dinner club in my rural college town.
