BraveTart: Homemade Swiss Miss with Mini Marshmallows
This sounds great - definitely want to try it!
Dinner Tonight: Maple-Glazed Sweet Potato Wedges
This sounds very similar to my family's recipe! We also sprinkle a bit of brown sugar on the top of each sweet potato to give it a bit of crunch while it bakes. Delicious!
Bake the Book: 'Momofuku Milk Bar'
Flaky croissants, fresh Portuguese treats, perfect cappuccinos, and a wide array of fresh bread. My mouth is watering.

Your posts really make me miss RI!
Goodbye, Dumpling
Such awful news - I'm so sorry for your loss.
Road trip recs? I-95 from NYC to Cape Cod?
Also, while I'm thinking of it, you're going to want to go to Pastiche on Federal Hill in Providence for desserts. It's down the street from Caserta Pizzeria, which I believe is better than Al Forno (though admittedly completely different - Caserta's has large, Sicilian-style slices and a spinach pie to die for), but I understand if you're trying to limit the number of pizza stops that you're making in the city!
Road trip recs? I-95 from NYC to Cape Cod?
On your way to the Cape, stop in at Antonio's in New Bedford for some of the best Portuguese food you'll find. I grew up in the area and there are plenty of Portuguese restaurants, but Antonio's is consistently great. The seafood dishes in particular are phenomenal!
Providence Pizza?
Caserta Pizza is fantastic - hands down one of my favorite pizzas in the country! If you like spinach, be sure to try the Wimpy Skippy, too.
You should also stop in at Al Forno, which is known for its grilled pizza.
A Sandwich a Day: Chicken Cutlet Hoagie from Taylor Gourmet in Washington, D.C.
I really enjoy Taylor Gourmet - it's hard to find a sandwich shop besides Potbelly or Subway in the city, and the bread can occasionally be on the hard side but it's still delicious. My favorite is the Race Street, which has turkey, prosciutto, pesto and fresh mozzarella - it never fails!
So Long, Folks (and See You Next Week)
Congratulations and best of luck, Adam!
I just bought 3 lbs. of Chourico-Now what do I do?
Saute chopped onions and garlic in olive oil. Add a can of diced tomatoes and cook down into a nice sauce. Add sliced red/yellow peppers, zucchini, and chourico - saute over low heat. Delicious!
This Week at Serious Eats World Headquarters
Some of the best candy I've ever tried was in Ireland - Aero bars (regular and mint), Smarties, Crunchies and Wispas ... I'd recommend them if you're looking for more Irish goodies!

I'm also a big 2 Amy's fan - easily my favorite in the city!
(Plus, loving the DC review!)
Dumpling Dipping Sauce
I tend to toss together a few ingredients - mostly soy sauce with a dash/splash of each of the others, depending on your taste:
Soy Sauce
Rice Wine Vinegar
Sesame Oil
Fish Sauce
Ginger (ground or fresh, whatever's on hand)
Garlic (I prefer powdered in this case since it's not as strong)
Red Pepper Flakes
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Pasta Mancini Collection
In a creamy sauce filled w/ plenty of basil!
