I'm not a huge candy bar person, but I am dying to try a Twix Java, since the reviews of it online by several bloggers is awesome. I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Has anybody in the DC area seen it around anywhere? I'll pay someone to ship a few to me if you have been able to find it elsewhere..thanks!
Any Serious Eaters out there in the DC/Maryland area who can clue me in as to where I can find meyer lemons? I've looked everywhere and haven't found any, and would love to buy and cook with some while it's the season .. thanks!
I'm brining a turkey for the first time this year and was going to follow Alton Brown's Good Eats Roast Turkey recipe. (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_8389,00.html)
However, I'm confused b/c Alton's recipe says to brine the turkey for 6 hours; however, a lot of sites I've been reading up on say a minimum of 24 hours for a brine. Can anybody give me a clear answer based on their own brining expertise; especially if you've tried Alton's recipe? I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
When my husband and I got married, we were pretty poor and our parents weren't really contributing - so we served a buffet brunch at our reception (the ceremony was in the morning, reception right after). It wasn't fancy, but I think everybody enjoyed it and it was more affordable than dinner or a sit-down meal.
I haven't been to many weddings, though I am attending one in St. Croix, USVI in a couple of weeks - the bride is a native Cruzan and is serving foods unique to the islands - VERY excited about it and can't wait to find the local eats on the island!
Anybody in the metro DC area, Bob's Noodle House in Rockville makes a "Taiwanese Hamburger" that is the same idea as the bun above - a steamed bun with pork belly, but with pickled mustard greens instead of the cucumbers - and only $3, I think - it's very good.
Beth, I am with huney and Jerzee - I recently moved to a new place with electric after always having gas and I soo miss cooking on a gas range! I hope I can get used to the electric one soon ..
so many great meals prepared by mom ... hard to think of just one, but I guess I'd have to say all the great noodle soups she made me when I was a kid and not feeling well, and her egg rolls, dumplings, etc. Ah, and the scallion pancakes she would make for me as a snack when I got home from school..
I've been here - it's a bit of a hike for me to get to from my office to go regularly, but I'm looking forward to visiting again.
@chiff0nade: I did see it last night!! But I would have put it down even if I didn't see it b/c I went to NYC in March and got that very cookie for myself - it was freshly baked and the best cookie I've ever had. :)
When I was in college, I tried to keep my routine healthy during exams just as I did year round - still exercised every day, ate healthfully, etc. - it made me feel more energized and capable of handling exams/papers/etc. I usually kept my diet as simple as possible - always get a good bfast - mix of protein & fiber (my favorite was hard boiled eggs and oatmeal). Snacked on yogurt, fruit, etc. Good luck, you'll do fine and then you'll be done soon!
I was in NYC for only a day a couple months ago so I had to really pick and choose what I wanted to do. I think it's impossible to choose just 3, but here are mine, and these are just the first 3 that come to mind.. you're lucky to be there for a whole week!
1) Levain Bakery for a chocolate chip walnut cookie.
2) Pearl Oyster Bar for a lobster roll.
3) Di Fara for pizza.
onepercent99, I am not nearly creative enough to help as much as some of the folks on this thread. I just want to say that I think your blog sounds like a great idea, and would be super-helpful for folks like me that aren't all that experienced with meats - I usually stick with the safe/basics that I know and would love to learn more and venture outside - also, money-saving tips when it comes to meat are a GREAT idea. (congrats again, hehe!). Keep us posted if you do start one - I'll definitely visit often!
Ooohh...that's easy.... Godiva's rasberry filled chocolates, glass of champagne (okay, two glasses) and a long hot bath. Heaven.
