Steamed artichokes since no one else I know seems to think they are worth the effort.

In Videos: The Banana as the Atheist's Nightmare, Explained
So if I point out the fact that, prior to human intervention, bananas were generally inedible and certainly didn't fit nicely into a human hand does it mean that I have proven that god doesn't exist?
Wow, couldn't he have even bothered to google "wild banana"?
First Seeds Delivered to Arctic Seed Vault
They are not planning on germinating these seeds. This is just one of many storage facilities for the genes of the plants. Seeds just happen to be the most stable tissue in plants. They are designed to be stored.
We have lost quite a bit of genetic diversity in our crops and other plants already due to lack of interest in perpetuating less commercially profitable varieties. People eventually figured out that even if we don't want to use those plants in large commercial scale production, we could profit from having access to their genes and they want to prevent similar loses in the future.
In other words, the goal of this project is not to bring back plants after they have all died but to save genes that we could use to engineer improved plants in the future. Do you all really think we'll survive something that kills off all plant life?
Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'
I was lecturing to a class just this week when suddenly there was a very persistent and raucous chirping sound. Normally we do not have birds in our building. My students noticed that I paused mid-sentence and one of them kindly pointed out "You are crazy but we hear it too."
It turned out that our animal behavior professor had just picked up a shipment of chicks for an imprinting demonstration and was entertaining himself by walking by friend's classrooms to confuse their students.

I've been told they make a great bbq. My undergraduate advisor was involved in an attempt to increase the population size of a rare subspecies of squirrel and they killed off a large number of individuals of a competing subspecies that wasn't rare. Instead of wasting all of the meat they had a bbq.
Cook the Book: Win a Copy of 'Cook with Jamie'
The only thing that taught me was screwing up while living in a small community where you had no social life if you couldn't cook and folks let you know when that was you.
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sablés
I'm with those who say Dorie's World Peace cookies.
In all fairness I have yet to try AB's or Ina Garten's brownies.

However, I've had excellent milk and white chocolate. I'm with myyee but I'd have to flip the dark and milk in the order.

Since the kids have left the nest, I never have anyone to eat with anymore. I am embarrassed to say it's usually the mayonnaise and banana sandwich or a baked potato for me. I need some new ideas. lol

The dish of choice would have to be baby spinach, bibb lettuce, portabello mushrooms, sliced Vidalia white onions, toasted almonds in a Balsamic vinegar and olive oil vinaigrette.

I like to make a casserole or big dish of something so I can eat off of it the whole week. Homecooked all week and only actually cooking once.
