I thought I'd use the food processor but I find myself leaving the blender on the counter and use it constantly. It just gets everything smoother. Especially for vegetables that have shells or skins, like peas and beans, it makes it much easier to then pass through a sieve. My guy has been eating purees (in additional to self feeding) for 3 months. I make about 4 big batches of food a week (for him and a friend who doesn't have the time) and freeze it in cubes. I thought I'd make small batches but it's just way easier in terms of clean-up and time management to make big ones.

That's borderline criminal! Do people have no shame when they put together something like that?

Pierre Herme, no question!

heartbreaking. I'm so sorry Kenji.

We lost our dog a few months ago and it still hurts a lot. I hardly know what to say. He was well loved.

Milk's $4.50 sandwich is a STEAL! It's so so so good.

you've got a little unfinished html tag in the second paragraph

Does anyone know if you can get mochi doughnuts in Los Angeles? They sound awesome!

How about the food trucks? Kogi is pretty hyped up but it is really addictive. I heartily second Scoops. Also, you should really hit up Ricky's fish tacos if you can, the best!

I think so much of this advice depends on what your baby is like. I have a 4 month old and I expected to be eating a lot of takeout once he was born! Instead I got a really relaxed little guy who will happily sit in his recliner while I make homemade pasta. At the beginning I found I got back into bread baking much sooner then I expected. It's so forgiving timewise. The tricky ones were pretzels and bagels!

Once he was old enough for the sling (which was soon since he was 10lbs at birth) my cooking world totally opened up, it's amazing to have 2 hands again.

So I guess my advice is that no advice is going to fit quite right. You'll take your cues from her personality, if she's high maintenance just relax and make simple stuff, if she's chill try and cook what you did before and see how it goes.

A small correction on slide #8. Infamous means famous for bad reasons, not extra-famous. I'm thinking the wings aren't infamous... Charles Manson is infamous.

@bananamonkey: I'm Canadian and all my pots are Paderno factory seconds. I would highly recommend them. They are very heavy bottomed and with the exception of the 0.8L pan I have found them to be amazing on the gas range. I also love that the lids are interchangeable, so I only have about half as many lids as pots since they can swap back and forth.

I think that the last photo caption is wrong, looks like a guy on each end and the lady in the middle... unless Grant is the lady and Samira the dude?
