Cook the Book: 'Food Trucks'
Fresh garlic fries - from a crepe truck! Just what I needed, when I needed them.
Lunch for One: Balthazar Bakery
I can't believe they use a microwave either!
Maybe they need to go to Slice on this webpage and use the warming up in a saucepan method. Or at least a toaster oven...!
Lost Tastes: Perfect Hong Kong Cakes
"how similar are these to ebelskivers?"
From what I can tell - not at all.
These are like crisp, air filled waffles. Ebelskivers, like perfect petite filled pancakes.

Is $5 Too Much To Pay For a Coke?
That's way too much.
Even in LA, where mexican coke is prized - it's $3 at restaurants. And that's where they bring it to you!

Lost Tastes: Perfect Hong Kong Cakes
I think it is a purely chinese invention.
Here's a delightful link I found about it...
http://en.christinesrecipes.com/2010/09/hong-kong-style-egg-waffle-original.html
And in LA, they are called "Egg Waffles" and you get them at Hong Kong style coffeeshops.
Every Kitchen Should have one -Kitchen tools we can't be without
My microplane zester. A good chefs knife. Stainless steel tongs (I have them in 8", 12" and 18") Flexible cutting boards - cuz I can put them on anything, anywhere, and work.
And they are not ESSENTIAL but wow do I use them and love them - my kitchen aid mixer and my 11 cup cuisinart.
The Food Lab: A New Way to Cook Pasta?
This is stunning. My brain hurts and yet I'm excited.
Do you think a version of this would work for rice? That would give me a much tidier stovetop for sure!
Poll: Matzoh Ball Soup - With or Without Noodles?
No!
Point being, it's MATZO BALL soup!
Add noodles or kreplach or kasha or rice and you're heading towards Mish Mash soup. Which is delightful but, a DIFFERENT soup!
Brooklyn Star Brunch: The South Has Risen Again in Williamsburg
To SugarApple I say -
Crisco is now transfat free.
And if you keep butter cold enough and don't overwork the dough, you'll have a delightfully falky biscuit that way too.
If I Could Only Eat at One NYC Pizzeria (Other Than Di Fara), What Would It Be?
No rec's here, I'm not in NY, I'm just so happy to see that I'm not the only pizza nut around!
TJ, good luck on your hunt and let us all know how it goes!
Serious Cheese: What Happens When a Curd Nerd Becomes Lactose Intolerant?
Poor jamie!
Okay, first, as everyone says, get tested for LI, gallbladder, etc. : ) . If you are indeed lactose intolerance, there's tons you can do! (I'm slightly LI myself.)
The take with or just before meal pills are best - and make sure you take enough of them!
Also if you've had food and an hour afterwards realized "Oh no! I ate milk" there is a chinese herbal pill that has saved me. It's called "Curing Pill" it comes in a red box, filled with ten tiny red boxes (each tiny box has a tiny tube, silly but true) and it is SO helpful. It is a pill to aid digestion. And it can help break down something in your tummy that just isn't breaking down on it's own. Like lactose. And if you're already crampy? Take it, it will help then too.
And yes I know there are many fears about foods from china. But this has no protein level (and most of the problem foods have protein) and, I've been taking it for years. So... Just an FYI on something that has really helped me.
Sugar Rush: Grapenut Ice Cream from Bittersweet
If you ever get to Los Angeles you have to go to a tiny but wondrous ice cream parlor called "Scoops". The owner changes flavors every day - except for his brown bread ice cream. Folks simply won't do without it.
It's absolutely AMAZING, and the "secret" ingredient? Grape nuts!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks
Ribeye!
I'm still not the best griller but ribeye is mighty forgiving and also tastes great when dry fried in kosher salt for the hubby.
First Taste: A Pizza Preview of Jim Lahey's Upcoming Pizzeria, Co.
Hello? How about a holla for the rabbit lamp?!
I mean kudos for the dough structure, that is huge. But keeping the rabbit lamp and all the odd whimsy therein? They get MANY extra points...
Sweet Ticket Giveaway, Week 2: What's Your Favorite Childhood Dessert Memory?
Oreos with milk. And chasing down the good humor man in the summer evenings. The fudge striped bar with the chocolate crunchies on the outside.... Yum!
Flagel = Flat Bagel
For over 30 years, a flat bagel, with topping or without, has been known as a pletzel - at least in Cleveland.
You can get them small, you can get them, large. They are WONDERFUL. But new, they are not!
Sugar Rush: "Classic Toast" With Condensed Milk and Butter at Saint's Alp
Thank you Kathy!
Now I can play... : )
Sugar Rush: "Classic Toast" With Condensed Milk and Butter at Saint's Alp
Is it sweetened condensed milk or plain?
Need to know so I can recreate it at home!
Sugar Rush: "Classic Toast" With Condensed Milk and Butter at Saint's Alp
Oh good heavens! I could feel my heart start to pound too fast from the sugar just from reading it!
And yet.... and yet...
A classic midwestern treat is strong white bread, buttered, then covered with a crunchy layer of white sugar. Eat.
Seeing how similar these treats are, who am I to claim heart palpitations?
The $9 Lobster Roll at Fairway
Is there such a thing as a good cheap lobster roll?
I admire fairway for their quality and price point.
Anyone else have a place they reccomend?
Bobby Flay's Burger Chain Opens on Long Island: Bobby's Burger Palace
The best "chip added" sandwich is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on pepperidge farm white - with a layer of lays potato chips. The extra crunch and salt with the sweet of the jelly - Ohhhhh.
Too bad it's not low-cal!
'Top Chef' Finale Predictions
Oh, hooray! I LOVE Stephanie!
I adore Richard too, and my heart broke that, as he admitted, he choked. But he is amazing and he will go far.
That said - woo hoo Stephanie!
Even if they edited Lisa to be more awful than she was, her food just wasn't as consistent and creative as Richard, Stephanie, Antonia and yes, even poor Dale.
Now I just need to get my hands on some braised pistachios...
