Just a head's up to the SE staff -- the "More Posts" button is not working on the SE homepage. If you try to click it, you get a "Sorry there are no more posts" message.

Just a head's up to the SE staff that the "More Posts" button on the front page isn't working. I'm getting a "Sorry, no more posts!" response when I try to scroll down.

It's Monday and I need more SE in my life....

Thanks!

Maybe I missed it, but in the awesome Everything-You-Wanted-To-Know-About-Thanksgiving-From-Kenji series (thanks by the way!!), he mysteriously alludes to this amazing salad with roasted pears, bitter greens & pomegranates and that the recipe would be posted Wednesday. I've been searching for it but can't find the post - did I miss it?

Last night I tried to make a special treat for my sweetie - the Olive Oil & Coconut Brownies from the NYT last weekend: brownies

However, even though I baked them twice as long as the recommended 25-30 minutes, and let them cool for almost 3 hours they were completely undercooked and raw. I love gooey fudge and coconut as well as the next person, but I'd love to know what went wrong.

I tried to run this baking scenario by my grandmother this morning hoping for an "a-ha!" solution, but instead she's convinced that you shouldn't bake with olive oil. Ever.

Is there something inherently different about baking with olive oil instead of other fats? Has anyone made this (or similar) desserts with moderate success? Should I chalk this up to a baking fluke and try again?

For the record - the "brownies" tasted incredible and they had this amazing crispy/coconut-y/texture when you first bite into them. I'm hooked.

Last night I made Mario Batali's "chicken with green sauce" which I honestly believe is the easiest, tastiest verde sauce out there - I make it all the time.

Unbeknownst to me I ended up with the hottest serrano pepper the market had to offer - and realized it after I'd pureed it into the sauce. Now I L-O-V-E hot, spicy dishes, in all shapes and forms, but this was eye-watering miserable. After spending an hour tweaking, adding water, chicken stock, more cilantro, anything I could think of, I finally had it edible, and dinner turned out fantastic.

However, it got me thinking - is there some trick or remedy to counter-balance spiciness? What are other things you do when you over-salt, over-spice, or over-acidify(real word?) your foods, without tossing out the whole batch and starting over?

My mom is staying with me for 3 1/2 weeks while she's in town taking daily chemo/radiation treatments and I need new ideas on what to cook every night. I figure she's going through something tough enough and the least I can do is take care of dinner and serve something tasty. We've had the whole mashed potatoes/mac-n-cheese/roasted veggies thing for the past few nights and I think its time for something new.

She gets pretty nauseous with strong smelling foods and only craves soft, comfort foods. Also, her appetite comes and goes so I need something that she can reheat at a later time. I need help SE-ers!!

I just read this article http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,412823,00.html
where a recipe misprint by a magazine actually poisoned several people!! (Let's not mention who would actually have the patience to finely grate 20 nutmeg nuts....)

Have you ever cooked/baked something according to a recipe, only to figure out that it was incorrect? Or, (I do this all the time!!) have you ever not read the recipe correctly and ended up with a disaster?? In light of Labor Day weekend, let's hear disaster stories!!!

I'm moving this weekend (tomorrow) and was hoping someone has a quick, never-fail, satisfying casserole recipe or some other type of recipe that I could throw together tonight and bake/reheat tomorrow. After moving all day, not to mention the endless unpacking/decorating, the last thing I'm going to want to do is work in the kitchen for an hour to feed my movers. Have I mentioned that these "movers" are my family members who request to be paid for their services in food? A brief flip through my cookbooks and google search hasn't left me inspired. Help SE-ers!!!

Thanks for all recipes and ideas!!

So I just received the mother of all food processors that I have been drooling over for MONTHS (the BF bought it as an 'I'm sorry,' long story.) and am desperate to use it for something other than chopping nuts. Does anyone have some great recipes/ suggestions for killer pestos and salsas??? Any other great tips?

Thanks in advance!!

I'm planning a picnic this weekend for my boyfriend's birthday and was wondering if anybody had any fabulous recipes or tips so I can pull this off and look like I've done this before. (All I have is the basket!!) The weather is supposed to be fantastic and what a better way to welcome the summer?!! Drinks, appetizers, entrees, all suggestions would be appreciated!!
