Luxair! Perfect Baguette with wonderfully fresh European butter, and choice of brie or ham. A glass, yes, a GLASS of beer. It cannot get more simple or better than that!

McNuggets will make you feel just like an Olympic Champion, probably only if you eat it with the Thai sweet chili sauce! I love the commercial that makes you think that fresh garden carrots and tomatoes go into the final product. Heck, Chicken McNuggets must be healthy, they wouldn't lie to us.

@cycorider correct, I remember an interview with Michael Phelps and he eats anything and everything, of course he burns like a million calories a day but certainly healthy food is not his thing. (according to some interview during the summer Olympics)

made duck confit instead of turkey. for the first time. so proud of myself :)

There are so many fantastic food blogs out there, I am finding new ones everyday. Serious Eats, is probably the blog I visit the most often. I love the variety you never know what you are going to get. I like Pioneer Woman because I can relate ;-)

stuffed zucchini flowers!!!

My first encounter, sadly to say, wasn't until I was an adult. When I moved to South Africa I got to try a samosa at a party. I loved it immediately, and sought out to recreate those fantastic flavors. Now, back in the states, I have Indian friends who have taught me a great deal about their food and culture. I LOVE to eat Indian food and would love a new cookbook!

Thanks for reporting this. Our organic milk consumption as decreased due to allergies to casein, but half of the family still consumes milk & butter. I buy Organic Valley almost exclusively, the Safeway brand (and many others) do not have the same ethics in my opinion. There are so many loop holes in the system as to what substitutions can be made if organic feed becomes to expensive. Besides I like to support the littler guy.

For our family it is more responsible and better for us to purchase organic. I will continue to do so. My husband always says "you can pay for better food now or the doctor later."

oh my gosh, my mouth is watering. I now realize that I need to preserve some lemons this week. All those recipes sound absolutely divine!!!

I am so looking forward to halibut season starting :)

I love me some halibut!

Fried Lice, opps I mean Fried Rice!

I hope to be more organized in the kitchen, try meal planning (I have never succeeded before) hoping to save a little dough by knowing what to buy on shopping trips. Reduce impulse buys. Oh boy, this WILL be a challenge!

How I miss the Muppets, especially the Swedish Chef. sigh. Oh, the memories!
