I have always considered "no-bake" or "icebox" cookie recipes to be kid stuff, but on a whim I made these chocolate oat bars, which are just incredible. So now I'm wondering what other good no-bake recipes are out there. Do you have a favorite to share?

The recent thread about dinner guests unearthed more of the hostility toward those with restricted diets (especially vegans) that I've noticed frequently on Serious Eats. While some vegans/vegetarians are aggressive or political, most are making a personal choice they don't impose on others. Those of you who deride vegans/vegetarians in your posts-why? Have you had specific negative experiences with veg folks? Vegans/vegetarians - how much do you encounter this in your daily lives?

My boyfriend, who lives with me and shares most of my home-cooked meals, hates broccoli, which I absolutely love. I hate mushrooms, which he adores. But perhaps our biggest difference is that he's a southern boy who drinks sweet tea almost exclusively, while I love coffee so much that sometimes I go to bed early just to make morning come sooner. What are the biggest food differences in your relationships?

I make my own yogurt, which always elicits responses like "oh, you're such a gourmet" and "where do you find the time?" - even after I explain that I only do it to save on plastic containers, and my total time investment in the process is about fifteen minutes (thanks to my Salton automatic yogurt warmer that looks like R2D2). What commonly-bought food items do you make yourself that your non-food-obsessed friends are surprised about?

I have read lots of conflicting information about this - some say just cut out the greenish spot (and I don't mean full-on green, just a faint green tint at the surface of the skin), and some say throw away the whole potato because it's infected with a "deadly toxin." I know I've eaten scores of greenish potatoes in my life, and I don't think I've gotten sick from them once. But since reading the "deadly toxin" thing, I've been seeing green in even perfectly good potatoes...help!
