Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'

I love the Candy Blog at http://www.typetive.com/candyblog/, because I love candy.

PWC and Smitten Kitchen are also solid favorites around these parts. I've made PW's rosemary onion rolls twice already and am already looking for excuses to make 'em again.

Cook the Book: 'The Craft of Baking'

Hmmm...probably my mom's apple crumb pie, for which I have the recipe written on a butter-stained index card somewhere. Although I really don't need it, at this point.

Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'

Because it is delicious. And because it makes almost everything else delicious, too.

Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'

Success? I would say my vegan chocolate peanut butter cupcakes, which won "Best Frosting" at a vegan dessert contest. Either those, or the strawberry-rhubarb crumble I whipped up for an emergency party that was just perfectly balanced between tart and sweet.

From A Hamburger Today

Hamburger America: Tessaro's in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I love Tessaro's. Since moving out of the city and into the suburbs, I don't get to go there nearly enough, but it's comforting to know it's there.

Like joeqboo, I always look at the whole menu, and then always order a burger with creamy blue cheese. And a side of broccoli and cauliflower, so that I can feel somewhat virtuous.

From Serious Eats: New York

Hoagie Haven in Princeton, NJ: Phat Ladies, Chocolate Cheesesteaks, and Happy Undergrads

I visit my cousins in NJ every year for Thanksgiving, and I've found that a hot Fat Darrell from the grease trucks will cure almost any Thanksgiving hangover. So very, very delicious.

From Recipes

Cook the Book: Bottega's Limoncello

I made a batch of limoncello last year that turned out incredibly well - so well that my Italian uncle demanded the recipe and wouldn't leave me alone until I gave it to him.

The ingredients were lemon peel, simple syrup, and 100 proof Smirnoff. I let the peels soak in the first bottle of vodka for 40 days, added the simple syrup and another bottle of vodka, and waited 40 more days. I also found that simply peeling the lemons was sufficient - I didn't want to strain little bits of zested lemon peel out of the final product.

The recipe I used takes a little more time, but it's seriously delicious.

Snapshots from Iceland: Cutest Skyr Container Ever

I love skyr! I so want to go to there. Like, right now.

From Serious Eats

Cook the Book: ''Wichcraft'

Something with artichoke hearts, which I love. And not necessarily spinach-and-artichoke-with-cheese-and-mayo like so many bad restaurant appetizers. Maybe some chicken, red peppers, pesto...now I'm getting hungry. :)

From Serious Eats

Cook the Book: 'Kneadlessly Simple'

Definitely either Irish soda bread or my mom's special whole-wheat bread, which she made when we were growing up and which I hated at the time, but cannot possibly eat enough of these days.

From Serious Eats

Spiced Rum: It's Not All About the Captain

I made limoncello for Thanksgiving last year. It was insanely easy and the end result completely kicked Danny Devito's ass.

From Serious Eats

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'American Cheeses'

I tried a really good blue over Thanksgiving - unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it. But it was wrapped in Sauternes-soaked grape leaves (I think). Very delicious.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Boneless Heritage Ham

Cheese and mayo. Though cheese and apple butter (on crusty bread) is good, too.

From Talk

my boyfriend doesn't eat eggs.

I can't stand plain cooked eggs either. (Strong taste aversion since, like, fifth grade. Even the sight of an omelet makes me nauseous.)

Pancakes are good, though. Also French toast, provided it's not too soggy in the middle when it's done. And waffles.

When in doubt, include bacon.

Cheese and mayo, though cheese and apple butter is also delicious. And good crusty bread is essential.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Edible Chocolate Box from Charles Chocolates

One restaurant here in Pittsburgh makes a "chocolate-caramel candy bar" dessert that is INSANELY GOOD.

But I also like the homemade caramel fudge that a co-worker brought to our festive holiday gift exchange. Yum yum yum.

Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

Cochinillo (flattened, roasted suckling pig) in Segovia, Spain. The award-winning chef (seriously - he had medals) cut it with a plate, to demonstrate how tender it was.

Either that, or the first time the Future Husband cooked me bacon. Mostly because he cooked it for me, mind you.

10 Strange Gourmet Foods

A coworker of mine brought some durian in to work for us to try. I only ate a little bit, but another coworker helped himself to a big bite. He later said, "That's not a flavor that I would see out."

I got an equal mix of onion and melon, and hoo boy, did it ever linger.

From Serious Eats

Cook the Book: 'Baked, New Frontiers in Baking'

Chocolate. Anything chocolate. I still have a weakness for it, to this day.

From Talk

Dark Greens...Will they ever be yummy?

I respect that all the commenters here are providing you with slow-cooked greens recipes, but have you tried kale chips? Rip up some kale into chip-size chunks, toss it with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and kosher salt, spread it on a cookie sheet, and roast it at 350 degrees until they're crispy, turning every five to ten minutes or so.

Even though the boyfriend hates most veggies, a batch doesn't last longer than about twenty minutes in my house.

Alien Fruits and Vegetables

Another durian person here. My vegan friend at work came back from NY with a whole durian and brought some in for us to try. I only had a little bit, but that was more than enough.

Ours wasn't so bad...okay, the smell was bad, but the taste was equal parts onion and melon. Not overwhelmingly horrible.

From Serious Eats

Cook the Book: 'Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics'

Ranch spinach dip, with Triscuits and sourdough bread.

Alternately, vegan-friendly gingersnaps, which are made with pumpkin and lots and lots of spices.

From Serious Eats

Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'

Things I always use: sugar, flour, butter, yeast. I bake like crazy and have a boyfriend who makes the world's best pizza dough.

Things I never use: salad greens (I hate salad and hate getting lettuce in my CSA box), sometimes eggs (I can't eat plain cooked eggs), and the occasional dairy product. I think I have some ancient Greek yogurt in there, still.
