IHOP's Bacon and Cheddar Hash Brown Stack

That's just how their hash browns are...

They used to have a vegetarian chili omelette that was darn good. THey took it off the menu around here in NJ.

Cook the Book: Quick and Easy Korean Cooking

Even though I've been vegetarian for a number of years, I still long for the Jae Yook Gui spicy pork lunch box at the local Korean place. So awesome.

Lithuanian Coffee Cake from Claire's Corner Copia in New Haven, CT

I love Claire's and I love this cake. I think they sell it un-iced and iced, but iced is the way to go.

How To Make Coffee More 'Local'

Two additional comments.

1. There is a great website dedicated to the environmental impact of coffee. It reviews roasters, has lots of industry news, and lots of great info on sustainable coffee http://www.coffeehabitat.com/

2. We should also note that the Smithsonian Bird-Friendly seal is the strictest of the certifications for environmental impact of coffee. It's more strict than Rainforest Alliance.

Cook the Book: 'My Bread'

I once put a dough for hamburger buns in the fridge to rise. It was supposed to rise in a warm place. They turned out really dense and just kind of gross.

Stumptown Coffee vs. Starbucks, an Overview of 'Third-Wave Coffee'

No matter where you buy your beans (green or roasted), you should know as much as possible about where they come from and how they are grown. Coffee growing has a HUGE environmental, social, and economic impact. Start here: http://www.coffeehabitat.com/

Having to choose between SB and Stumptown, it's a no-brainer choice of Stumptown. There are better alternatives out there though if you brew your own.

Gadgets: Automatic Dispensing Spice Carousel by KitchenArt

I have an old version of this. It's all white. I'm not a fan. It looks like they've made some improvements. The old one is ugly and it the doors for the spices are difficult to open. THe spice containers need to be removed to use them and they are hard to get back into place. It looks like they made the doors a little easier to open and it's a lot sleeker.

Brazil Nuts: The Forgotten Nut

I've seen them for use in "raw" recipes, specifically a few raw soups. And I too know that horrible name for them. Let's get that one out of the vernacular.

Green and Red Chile in New Mexico Roundup

My wife and I went to NM in November 2007 to visit Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. We also spent a few days in Abq and Santa Fe. Great time and great food!!! I can't decide which chile I like better. Both rule. Green chile cheeseburgers were damn good though.

What's Your Favorite Sandwich?

Holy crud, that Dimple's place is like 15 mins. from my house. I need to spend more time on Oak Tree Road.

My fav was always Pastrami on rye with cole slaw on it. Now that I'm a veghead, I'll go with egg and cheese on a hard roll with spk.
