Just tried the PB Cheerios. Should not have done that. Do these things come with a twelve step program?

I live for egg sandwiches. Why is this one so far from me!!!

This is fascinating stuff, keep up the good work in sharing this with us.

Great post!

My SIL, who had already decided that they were going with a monkey theme for their baby's room, gave away the cutest shower favor: mason jars filled with homemade banana bread mix. You just had to add the wet ingredients.

Very cute and very delicious!

I recently kicked my Diet Coke habit. I'm sticking to my resolve by drinking seltzer water flavored with splashes of pomegranate juice, orange juice, or grapefruit juice - sometimes a mixture of two or three. Weening myself off the caffeine is the hardest so I allow myself a 20 minute catnap in the early afternoon if I'm really out of gas. I used to rely on a 20 ouncer to pick myself up.

I will say this, if i had not kicked my diet soda habit before I saw Young Adult with Charlize Theron, I sure would have after. See the movie and you'll be pitching out your 12 packs!

My daughter (nine year old food lover) and I caught it in December right before it closed. She was awed as Julia is a great food hero of hers.

I'm told by a friend who works at the Smithsonian that the exhibit will indeed be back as it is one of their most popular. The planned food culture exhibit is supposedly much larger and more interactive.

Having spent the last week reading the psuedo science behind and horrible effects of various popular "cleanses" being touted today, I could not agree with Kenji more. We don't need to "detox", we need to restore balance. On December 31, it might feel OK to make a meal out of pigs in a blanket, leftover Christmas cookies, and champagne, but in the harsh cold light of January, we know better.

I think most of the posts have the right idea: after over-indulging in rich, sweet, or fatty foods, swing the needle the other way and eat lots of fruits, veggies, and other foods that make you feel less sluggish and weighed down.

Done. And without spicy lemonade and laxative tea!

Love, love, love Marcie Blaine's chocolates. A must stop if you find yourself in Philly.

One of the first meats my daughter ate when she was a toddler. She still adores the stuff. Taylor is the best. One cut in each to make little Pac-Mans, fry it up, and serve for a happy morning in our house.*

*But not everyday since it's clearly not the healthiest thing in the world.

Fried chicken.

I love brunch foods (egg stratas, muffins, fresh fruits with yogurt, salads, etc.) I also like having brunch parties because so much of the food is easy to make and no one is stressed at this time of day. You can linger over your coffee or tea and chat without worrying about getting home before it's too late. I'd take a brunch party over a dinner party any day.

Great round-up. Nice to see so many stadiums serving locally-made dogs on locally baked buns. Teams should support their local economies and encourage their fans to do the same.

I'm not a big hot dog eater but after seeing the South Philly Dog that my beloved Phillies are serving up, I need to try it. Anything with broccoli rabe and provolone on it has gotta be good, right?
