I'm with galnoir, The pretzel crisps are not sounding like an amazing weight loss strategy to me. In addition to the suggested veggies, I'd suggest granny smith apple and kohlrabi as possible dippers.

The other satisfying thing to do with hummus for me is to basically pretend I'm at a falafel snack bar and make a couple really quick pickles (cucumber/dill, carrot/cilantro, apple/mint) and dip those in the hummus. Have the sriracha bottle handy and you will not miss your pretzel crisps at all.

Since the roots of this sauce are Indonesian, ketjap manis is a common addition and one that I personally recommend. In fact, the closer you take this recipe in the direction of satay sauce, the more you're getting at the real thing I think (a lot of Dutch chip shops call this sauce satesaus).

Your next step is to add raw onions to the mayo- and peanut sauce-covered fries, then you've got a patatje oorlog...

I just saw these guys last week, and my first question wasn't about the potential for scorching your own wiener, but how long they wear these things for at a time. It was quite a warm day (for Berlin), maybe 80 degrees, and they looked heavy as hell. As well as dangerously hot..

I agree with the sweet potato and squash recommendations above. Here in Amsterdam you see many attempts to cook with THC butter, but I've never tasted anything successful that wasn't sweet. I haven't experimented much with it myself, but I have a feeling if I did, I'd start with recipes from equatorial regions, specifically India and Southeast Asia. There is actually a recipe in James Oseland's Cradle of Flavor that mentions marijuana as an authentic ingredient...the other main flavors are lemon basil, turmeric, garlic, and lime....hope this helps.

Mmm. Technically speaking, it's more like our country's gastronomic bluegrass. Improvisational, but definitely limited to 8 or 10 basic forms. But jazz definitely makes for a better soundbite.

Wow, I can't believe I just wasted 90 precious seconds of my life watching half of that trailer. Then again, at least I didn't waste months of my life writing, acting or directing it.

Granny Smith and Gouda. Do it.

Add me to the list of people who can't believe the civility of this discussion. Call Guinness. And add two expat Americans to the Obama vote tally.

Looks great, though every ingredient screams goat cheese instead of cheddar. I try it.

It's funny, I've often read and frequently disliked Richman's writing and attitude, so I completely believed that he'd squeezed out another pile of half-formed maliciousness here...but I also didn't find this particular article to be especially churlish, considering what he's capable of.

Lots of "special" objects "fetch" pretty spectacular prices when they're being bid on by people who bid on things. I'm assuming this isn't the setup at Zuni.
