Gifting foods - or how to send a long-distance hug

My brother and I have used igourmet.com for quite a few food gifts, never had a problem. Quite a nice selection too.

In Videos: Gordon Ramsay on 'Live with Regis and Kelly'

I laughed so hard! The one from last year is the best.

Cook the Book: Lidia's Italy

I like to make a rich cream of mushroom soup for a starter. It's from scratch based on a CIA recipe. My guests are always surprised and delighted it doesn't take like the stuff from a can!

Buying Produce for One

I'm a big fan of the debbie meyer green bags, they have saved me a ton of money in fruits and produce, including potatoes. I'd have to throw away half of everything before I started using them.

Are rising food costs affecting how YOU eat?

I will be taking advantage of my large freezer in the garage more now, to buy "big packs" of meat. Luckily I already have a Food Saver vacuum thing which really makes a big difference in the quality of frozen stuff.

I saw my first case of $4/gallon gasoline today! YIKES

SE users: please introduce yourselves.

Hello everyone, I live in rural upstate New York where it snows for 5 months of the year and the local economy is dairy cows. There is a farmer's market in a nearby college town, and I cannot wait until they open in early May. I own about 200 cookbooks and love to make delicious meals for my husband and friends. I used to travel on business to European countries a lot and really enjoyed trying the local foods. Now I work at home from my computer.

What's good in Charleston SC?!

I had delicious soft shell crab at SNOB (Slightly North of Broad Street). Enjoy your trip!

Refrigerator Crisper.

This won't help your current purchase but I swear by these things: debbie meyer green bags; just google it.

Does the World Need More Fancy-Pants French Restaurants?

I think the top chefs are branding themselves into exhaustion - for both us and them. I hear they are doing well in Vegas, town of a lot of spending. But it pains me to see them open restaurant after restaurant until they almost become an expensive chain!

also, if you have never read julie powell's blog on salon about her experiences cooking her way through mastering the art of french cooking,
it doesn't get any better than the julie/julia project.

Here is a very ambitious and informative website. I don't always eat this way, but find it enjoyable to check it out occasionally. Very pleasing photos too.

SE users: please introduce yourselves.

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.
