Time for a Drink: Princeton Cocktail

Is this for two drinks? This seems like a lot of alcohol (not that I'm complaining) to serve one person at a time.

Video: Anthony Bourdain Appears as 'Dr. Tony' on 'Yo Gabba Gabba!'

I don't know how I feel given the guff he gives other chef's for "selling out". I guess anything for the kids

NBC Cancelling The Chopping Block?

The show is TERRIBLE! I wash my hands of it. The food is not in focus and the punchlines are awful. The worst thing about it to me is the contestants. I don't wnat any of them to win because I don't want to give any of them my hard earned money for something they made. Maybe it's the editing but they seem like genuinely awful, selfish people. I wish everyone competed like Carla from Top Chef. She rocks the house.

In Videos: Barack Obama Doesn't Know What a Half-Smoke Is

Look, I understand. I want to have a half-smoke as bad as the next guy. I respect and love Ben's and the half-smoke. Beyond the food the place has a history more important to D.C. than most people know. It was the only business in the area allowed to stay open during the riots following the assasination of Dr. King. People searched for answers, truth and a hold on the moment following one of the most jarring moments in American History. BUT - I live in Ohio and I hate to have to tell you guys, most people outside of Washington don't know what a half smoke is. We're poor, deprived, scurvy knaves who are missing out on the delicious half beef, half pork smoke-a-licious-ness.

Jeeves, and the Art of Curing the Hangover

An ounce of prevention, in the form of two tylenol and a glass of water, followed by an after party glass of water or two tamps down my head squinches.

English Fry-up

Looks tasty, but is this a fry-up?

Cook's Illustrated's Roasted Brined Turkey

I brine a turkey every year. I personally like to bring a little more flavor to the party by replacing a quart or so of the water with apple cider and using some aromatics. I also use a little ( I mean a little) molasses or brown sugar - like a a cup. I have to heat some of the water to disolve the salt/sugar and extract a little flavor, but when you add the rest of the water and cider, it brings it down to a safe temp quickly. The sugar gives you a little browning help.

The Great Strawberry Ice Cream Debate

For you who mentioned Graeter's, you might be in Columbus. If you are, you should check out Jeni's Ice Creams in the North Market, on High Street or in Grandview. If you aren't from there, just GOOGLE Jeni's Ice Cream and try (as quickly as you can possibly get it) her Strawberry Rose seasonal flavor. If is the very last word on strawberry ice cream. It lacks the graininess of Graeters (which I still like) from the over developed ice crystals. In addition, it has just a whisper of rose flavor. Can you think of anything prettier than a strawberry rose?

Batter Blaster: Bogus or Bliss?

I'm glad someone was brave enought to give it a shot. I stared in awed bemusement at that can last weekend for a long while. I picked it up and put it back several times before moving on without it while still praising the genious of the idea. I might have to give it a whirl!

Let's talk duck fat... YUM... What's your fantasy recipe?

But seriously, perfection is diced yukons sauteed in duck fat hit with a pinch of s&p and tossed with parsley. I don't know if it gets any better. Unless it's a confit...

'Top Chef': Season 4 Finale: Put a Fork In It

I was so afraid that Lisa was going to win. She's not the strongest as far as execution and her attitude was AWFUL. I was happy for Stephanie even though I did feel that Richard was the strongest cook on a show to show basis, even through the obsession with the banana scallop. Stephanie made the strongest showing during the finale and I guess that's what it's all about.

Essentials: Strawberry Shortcake

It's a fantastic thing! One deviation, I always make my whipped cream with honey. The subtle sweetness of the honey invades so much less on the sweetness of the berries.
