48 Hours in Montreal: A Guide to Eating

I was in Montreal last month and posted about the Atwater Market too! I think ate at least a dozen bagels in one weekend. Yum!

There's no contest - Top Chef is such a better show! I can't believe TNFNS could be more appealing to anyone who actually likes to cook! I'll stick with Top Chef, thank you very much!

'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,' The Movie

I love when they go sledding on the butter pats!! This is so exciting! It's one of my favorite childhood food books, rivaled only by If You give a Mouse a Cookie...

Giordano's, a Stuffed Pizza Classic in Chicago

Funny timing - our blog just went into the kitchen at Lou Malnati's (another Chicago pizza institution) and watched them make it. You can see the whole video here.

@Kerosena - one slice of Giordano's can easily fill up a "normal" person! They are huge slices and - as you would imagine - very heavy. I've been known to do 1 1/2 slices on a very hungry day :)

What's Your Favorite Thanksgiving Food?

Stuffing! My grandma makes two kinds: bread-based and corn-meal based and both are amazing! My boyfriend's family is Russian, so not only do they have a turkey, but they have lots of traditional Russian food - it's fantastic!

PS we asked lots of bloggers this question on Chew on That for the November Monthly Mouthful - responses (and recipes!) will be posted on Wednesday. :)

When you have a lot of cream cheese, you should make ____.

Noodle kugel! This was the first thing that came to mind (before cheesecake, even!): http://www.recipe4living.com/Recipe/25082-CecesKugel.aspx. Seriously rich but totally worth it and a great way to use up your cream cheese!

America's Best Hot Dog Town: Cast Your Vote

B. Chicago. No contest. There's absolutely nothing like a Chicago hot dog charred to perfection.

Voluptuous Veg and Prurient Protein

I have a hard time paying Whole Foods' prices, but they do have the best selection by far. Thanks for all the links to local Chicago butchers and fish markets - I bookmarked them all for future reference! :)

Montreal Bagels Exposed

I have a lot of close family in Montreal and whenever we visit, we never leave without armfuls of bagels (and tummies full of smoked meat!). I think we're comparing apples and oranges here. As it's been said, Montreal bagels are sweeter, slightly chewier, skinnier and seedier. Personally, I think they require more cream cheese as well, but I'd take a Montreal bagel any day!

Organizing all those recipes

I'm a need-to-be-organized-in-files type of person, so I have file folders for categories and the cut/torn out recipes sorted into those. If I were to start over now, I'd definitely move it all online! It's so much easier to reference!

A Sure Cure for the Passover Blahs

As I sit at my desk covered in matzah crumbs, this video is fantastically appropriate! A bit too much work for a piece of matzah, but an excellent technique (and party trick)!

A Little Revisionist Passover History

Strictly speaking, peanuts are legumes and cannot be eaten on Passover. It does sound delicious though!

Question of the Day: How did you get your first cooking-related burn?

I touched my forearm to the top of the oven. I was taking a roasting pan of chicken out of the oven and I had mitts on, but I was wearing short sleeves and I got scorched! I have a nice white scar to show for it. So stupid! :)

Bagel Love

In high school I had "early bird" gym class because my schedule was so busy and the only way I could make it to the 7:30 class was to stop at Upper Crust (Deerfield, IL) and pick up a bagel and lox spread. To this day it's my slow-morning pick-me-up!

And grubnoise - I don't think you can even compare Montreal bagels to the classic NY bagel. Equally as satisfying, but in a totally different way.
