Hot Weather Meals?

gazpacho or ceviche are nice options when it's hot outside...especially if they are a bit spicy. the sweat from the spice will cool you off.

It has been discovered the true meaning of Häagen-Dazs is "taste bud rejuvenator", not "throat cooler" as previously documented.

Grocery Ninja: Thousand-Year-Old Eggs and the Horse Urine Myth

I love Pi Dan! I sliced them up with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic and a dash of rice wine vinegar. In congee or just plain rice. I love the stuff.

I can also see how someone can describe it as being like a blue cheese. The pungency maybe be similar. Century eggs are like the Tofu Lu you wrote about earlier this month...pungent, salty and nasal clearing.

Cook the Book: Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges

I'm Chinese and my mom makes all kinds of delicious rice and noodle dishes. But my favorite would have to be Sauteed Rice Ovalettes with black fungus, scallions, ginger, garlic, bamboo shoots, pork and cabbage. Similar to the dish listed at the bottom of this page.

Las Vegas: buffet recommendations?

Just ate at the Rio World Carnival Buffet. Not good...an underachieving international menu. Stick with the high end hotels

Huzzah! I do this all the time using ciabatta bread! The cheese is more able to ooze out and form a crust too! Double perks!

I use the same inverted technique with Bobby Flay's Pressed Cuban Burger using a hard roll.

It's an awsome sandwich.

No wonder she's a tubber! Dean, and many people who eat her fat-laden recipes, is at risk wind up having a massive coronary. The Fred Sanford variety, chest-clutching et al, "Elizabeth, I comin' to meet you darlin'. I ate a deep fried butter ball and deep fried mac and cheese!"

I like to watch her show just to see how she's going to top herself from day to day. Bacon wrapped mac and cheese in a deep fryer. I missed the fried butter balls episode. Too freakin funny!

What's the Best Mexican Food Town in the U.S.?

I agree with fivrforfun. I live in Bend and the Mexican food at Pepe's rocks. My friend Marcos has a restaurant called La Rosa that is also a locals favorite.
Some really awesome burritos de carne asada can be found at El Grullense in Salem OR. In fact when I'm there I get a cooler and ice and load up before driving home... yes, that good!

Paula Deen???? I don't get it!!! Her incessant cackling, sticking her tongue into chocolate fountains, and please, stop with the y'alling.
The worst thing?... her recipes. Soooo bad.
She's Food Network's performing monkey and... they love her. Apparentley, so does the audience. Yeesh.
You can fool some of the people some of the time...but Paula Deen fools all of the people all of the time.

Paul Deen, please, just go away....and take Guy Fieri with you.

Paula Deen Is Trying to Kill Us, Part 5: Butter, Mayo, Whiz Cheese Spread

OK, OK..we certainly want to eat a bit healthier and be honest: do y'all eat this stuff every day? Once in a while all this fat and cholesterol is good for your soul..but that's about all it's good for. My grandmother, rest in peace ate full-fat everything; half & half, sour cream, cheeses, an occasional piece of red meat and lived to 95.
So a LOT of this is genetic and hereditary.
BTW..Jerzee; My mom is from South Cackilacky and they just got an IGA!

Paula Deen Is Trying to Kill Us, Part 5: Butter, Mayo, Whiz Cheese Spread

I have not made Ree's olive bread, why you ask? From Ree's Blog quote "The Cast of Characters: French bread, green olives, black olives, green onions, butter, real (not low-fat or fat-free) mayonnaise, and Monterey Jack Cheese." That is why! It is a Paula Deen recipe. Sitck a buttah, mayo, cheese....comprende. All recipe deal breakers for me.

Now I lived in rural NC, and I was not near anything that resembled a good grocery store other than the freaking piggly wiggly. I managed to get good ingredients. How did I manage that? Survey says, I got in the car and drove (sometimes for over an hour) to them. Some I ordered by phone or catalog and some kind people (bless you) shipped to me. I do not accept that she cannot get good ingredients. I will not accept that as an excuse. In the early 90's there was not an "internet" and I got them in Cow Patch North Cackilacky.
The piggly wiggly had three kinds of cheese grated kraft, yeller and owrenge.
Giada doesn't appeal to what I would cook because like her I am italian and I cook those things all the time. I am the everyday italian. Everyday I am "italian".

Jerzee: I hear you. I have a problem with Giada who is now "Boob Girl" in my household. Watch the early shows, then look at what's been filmed in the past 2 years. Food Network is trying to make her look sexy where ever she goes and wherever they film her. The center of the camera image is not on the dish she is preparing, but on her chest 100% of the time. And it's clear that they have a fisheye lens on her because her forehead has become enormous! OGM what would Julia say!!!

Check that: Clarissa and Jennifer rode up to every venue in a motorcylce with a sidecar. The white van showed up later with their provisions in it later. Sorry - senior moment!!!
