Win 2 Tickets to Sweetlife: A Music + Food Festival!

Just one?? Peaches over ice cream is my family's typical summer dessert. yum!

Bake the Book: La Boulange Bakery: Cafe Cooking At Home

Pain au chocolat... mmm... yes please.

Cook the Book: 'Home Made Winter'

I've always been a chili and casserole girl, but Winter 2013 may be the year of the braise...

Holiday Giveaway: The Amazing Thermapen Thermometer

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Case of Pat LaFrieda Burgers

At BTS in DC, there's a burger with gorgonzola, mushrooms, and something else which looks amazing, but which I haven't had yet. Maybe that needs to happen this week...

Cook the Book: 'The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook'

My friend just made me pasta with pumpkin sauce and chicken sausage last night. Sounded bizarre. Tasted awesome.

Food at the Sweetlife Festival: Jose Andres's Pepe's Truck, Toki Underground, Big Cheese

5 Songs About Drinking Beer

Well, Ale, rather than Beer, but for a classical take, Vaughan Williams "Drinking Song"-

Back and side go bare, go bare,
Both foot and hand go cold;
But, belly, God send thee good ale enough,
Whether it be new or old.
- Jolly good ale and old.

Chipotle Bean Soup with Bacon

Just made this- so good. I added a lime's worth of lime juice into the full pot and topped with cheddar and tortilla strips- omnomnom.

Have You Ever Tried to Quit Diet Soda?

I'm pretty sure Diet Coke has heroine or something in it because the first few days I try to go off it cold turkey, I'm very angry at everyone who is still drinking it and want to rip it out of their hands. I've found that it's much easier for me to get off it by "stepping down" to caffeinated tea and seltzer (not at the same time) until I can get off the caffeine completely.

That said, I'm writing this with a Diet Coke sitting next to me... I'm waiting until January to try again.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

Latest discovery has been on a crostini with roasted turnip, good olive oil and sea salt.

Cook the Book: 'Home Cooking with Jean-Georges'

Very easy- Dorie would be cooking anything from "Around my French Table" and I'd be in heaven.

Cook the Book: Molto Batali

Family for holidays, and friends whenever I have a new recipe I want to try out. They're good little guinea pigs.

Cook the Book: 'Cook this Now'

Labor Day Giveaway: Tenderloin Filets and Cedar Grilling Planks

mmmm.... steak.

Cook the Book: 'The Japanese Grill'

In-N-Out vs. Five Guys vs. Shake Shack: The First Bi-Coastal Side-By-Side Taste Test

Though of the three, I'd put Shake Shack first, you've got it right with the Calvin Trillin quote... I still love me some Bill Gray's or Don & Bob's up in Rochester, NY. A place to get a great burger, frozen custard, AND Zweigles hot dogs? It's not really a fair fight.

Cook the Book: 'Goat: Meat, Milk, Cheese'

The only goat meat I had was in a stirfry, which was grand. And of course, goat cheese is potentially the most delicious thing on the planet.

In Season: Asparagus

I like to eat asparagus by putting it in my mouth, any which way it's prepared!

Cook the Book: 'Serve Yourself'

My friend just shared an amazing recipe with me: Cook some orzo/rice, defrost some frozen cooked shrimp, stir some broccoli in with the orzo right before it's finished. Mix it all together with a little oil, vinegar or lemon juice and your favorite spice mixture (currently- Northwoods from Penzey's). It's incredible, and is finished in the time it takes to cook the orzo.

Enter to Win a Kenny & Zuke's Pastrami Kit

Tried not to try it;
Delicious meaty goodness...
Now it's my downfall.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Boneless Heritage Ham

ham, cheddar, and pear!

Anyone know how a top-cut hotdog bun factory works?

Insomnia got the better of me last night and I started thinking about New England style hot dog buns, and how you never see the end rolls- the ones that have one brown side as well. That in turn got me thinking about the factory process, and now I'm really curious.

Anyone have any idea how factories make these, or better yet, know of one of those tour-type videos of this type of factory?
