Those green sprouts inside garlic
No matter how fresh the garlic is when I buy it, it always seems to develop those annoying little green centers shortly afterward. I always remove them because I find them to be bitter. Any ideas for preventing their appearance?
Lee Bailey
Doesn't anyone remember him? Easy & delicious mostly southern influenced recipes & beautiful presentation ideas. He used to have a little boutique in Saks with some of his simple but great designs. I still use his candle holders.

The Best Chocolate Cookie Recipe Ever (Unless You Have a Better One)
The breakfast cookie sounds great, but instead of cranberries, I'd do dried cherries. Cherries & chocolate? Wow!
Purple cauliflower?
I can tell you what NOT to do with it & that's to make soup from it. I ended up with cream of blue soup last year after using some I got at the farmer's mkt! There's a reason not too many foods are blue, believe me.

And you called me juvenile? Go back to your anonymity; you'll never change my position on this issue. Hiding behind your "culture" is a sorry excuse. Enough said.

johnmccollum, sorry, but not too many people domesticate cows or pigs. I am a vegetarian, not usually a proselytizing one, but this is too much. I didn't realize that you were the one to set the standards for this blog, sorry!

This goes beyond the realm of disgusting all the way to incomprehensibly barbaric! Do you honestly believe that readers of this blog want to see ANYTHING that has to do with eating DOG!!!!!!!!!!!! What's next, cat fritters? You total morons-get a GRIP!!!!!!
Mochi + Waffle = The Moffle
The panini press does a great job-the results are little "fingers" of mochi. Try it!

Thank you, thank you! my PBS station used to run these, but haven't been lately. I LOVE them. ("bread AND butter pudding", e.g.) Cheerio!
Canadian Cuisine?
First, let me say I LOVE Canada & Canadians, but their food? Not so much. Even in Toronto, surely a metropolis, you can give it a miss. Best is Asian fare out in B.C.
Initial Reactions to New Starbucks Brew
Good grief! It's a cup of joe, for Pete's sake!
Do you tempeh here?
charm city cupcake-you go girl (guy)! To answer the question, I find that if you slice the cakes in half horizontally, they fry up better & take any marinade or sauce easier. Try the mixed grain ones, as well. they're pretty good. I like mine in a "club sandwich" , fried 1st, like bacon & use all the fixings as in a blt.

The Best Chocolate Cookie Recipe Ever (Unless You Have a Better One)
I have my own recipe, devised to have my favorite aspects of chocolate chip cookies: a little chew, a little crunch, and just enough chocolate.
Of course, that doesn't mean that I don't want to try every recipe I come across just in case they're better. I suspect everyone has a touch of the grass-is-greener mentality when it comes to cookies.

I've never found a recipe that works better than the Toll House classic.
Purple cauliflower?
I've often seen a purple cauliflower
I often hope to see one
But I can tell you anyhow
I'd rather see than be one.
Purple cauliflower?
I agee with Passy about the soup. I made potato soup with purple potatoes once-it tasted great but no one would touch it because of the color!
Purple cauliflower?
I'm dying to get my hands on purple cauliflower, carrots too! I was a sucker for the green ketchup too, I'll be brave enough to admit.
I recently read the colored varieties may even be healthier than the plain ones. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=514799&in_page_id=1770
Enjoy!
Purple cauliflower?
Eeps, I've never had purple potatoes lose it's color, at least not the Okinawan ones. It's still a very deep purple after I boil them.

For the record, I have domesticated chickens, have worked on my cousin's dairy farm, and begged my parents for a pet pig throughout most of my childhood. I also have a dog. And have had a goldfish. Is eating fish barbaric? Am I horrible for eating a hamburger last night, just because I've named cows? Should I be deemed a moron and shot because I eat chicken almost every day, just because I have a pet chick?
Eating living things is how we survive, and most of us couldn't without separating life from food. I probably wouldn't eat dog, because it doesn't sound like a tasty meat, not because I'm unable to separate Fido's face from a bowl of stew. Nobody is trying to change your stance, just please keep your judgmental, inane, negative, ridiculous and hasty comments to a minimum, especially if you are unprepared to defend them in an informed, realistic and healthy debate. Nobody "makes the rules" for this blog, but I think everyone can agree to at least keep the hate out and the information in.

I think Passy is the one that needs to GET A GRIP. No one wants to "change your position" on this issue. I think diversity is what makes the world go around. I see a lot of things that I would consider gross, things that I would never want to eat. But to call someone a moron for reporting about these things, seems excessive. To presume that there are food things that the readers of this blog do not want to know about is wrong. I read this blog and I found the information interesting. Oh ....and Adam I think the bimbo being refered to is not Elyse but the person who made the cat fritters comment

I'm kinda iffy on this sensationalist kind of news...
On one hand, its fascinating and is a draw for readers, on the other, this kind of food is not so unusual or fascinating to people who are familiar with it as a part of their culture.
I have a hard time legitimizing any food as weird or gross anymore because someone, somewhere probably eats it and enjoys it and doesn't find it that odd.
Good for you, Sewell to try other foods, but these foods are only exoticized by a purely Western life experience and standard.
This kind of treatment does the culture no favors by keying in on the weird and eew factor.
@Johnmccollum
Bring the discourse on. I am ready! :)
