The Vegan Experience, Day 24: Miracle Ingredients and New Pantry Staples
Let me be more specific...I know fermented soy products are okay....soy sauce, stinky tofu etc. But I am worried about my consumption of regular tofu, soy milk and fresh soy products.
The Vegan Experience, Day 24: Miracle Ingredients and New Pantry Staples
Kenji, I have read studies about the negative health effects of soy and I was wondering what your take on the issue is.
9 of New England's Best Apple Cider Doughnuts
I'm from Lexington MA so I grew up going to Wilson Farms...so many seasonal memories. I also have to add the cider donuts from Taft Farms in Great Barrington MA that we have every year going to visit my in-laws in the fall...delicious!

The Vegan Experience, Day 24: Miracle Ingredients and New Pantry Staples
Okay, good, I always got the same impression of the "wacky conspiracy theories." I think I'm paranoid because most of the studies (which I believe are largely inconclusive) refer to negative reproductive effects in some animal, like mice and haven't actually been tested on humans. So until I hear some real hard evidence, I will continue to enjoy my soy milk and tofu (in moderation.)

Market Scene: Attleboro Farms Farmers' Market in North Attleborough, MA
This place is about 5 minutes from my house. It is a great little farm in a beautiful location...love the farmers market too.
A Sandwich a Day: The Reuben at Louis Restaurant in Providence, RI
Leah...another great Prov sandwich that my co-workers and I get at least once a week. The vegetarian sandwich from Seven Stars Bakery, so simple yet so good. Mozzarella, arugula, roasted red pepper and olive tapenade on french bread. Get it toasted and it becomes easier to eat and more delicious.

Making Peeps from Scratch: Interview with Chef Brian Robinson
I made peeps once! They are so much better fresh than from the package. The fresh ones absolutely do not get better as they age though.
Blogwatch: Chocolate Pasta
My mom once made chocolate pasta in butter and sprinkled with powdered sugar. It was interesting...good, but I think I expected something sweeter.
'Culinary Slumming'
There are actually very few things that I crave that are horrible for me. That said, I would sell my soul for greasy chinese food. Yup, thats about it.
The Icing vs. Frosting Debate
I always thought of them as three separate entities, just like they are described above.
Ok, I will follow with..how do you say Jalapeno
chipolte for chipotle, marscapone for mascarpone, expresso for espresso and basalmic for balsamic.
absentminded kitchen disasters
When I read the title of this thread, I had to tell my story. I was making pasta once in my tiny apartment kitchen. I got everything ready, turned on the burner and went to the living room to wait for the water to boil. A few minutes later I heard the strangest sound coming from the kitchen and I went to investigate. Flames were coming off the stove and literally enveloping the cabinets, which was guiding the fire to the opposite wall. Turns out, I had turned on the wrong burner, which had a plastic colander on it. It lit on fire, which melted the knobs on the stove and basically set the kitchen on fire. Awesome.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Food Giveaway: Russ & Daughters
A bagel with cream cheese, lox, capers and plenty of onions.
Why are the bottom of my cookies burning?
Thanks for all the input! I used parchment the night before for another cookie with better results, but I have to conclude (thanks to everyone) that my oven is not calibrated properly.
Whole Wheat Pasta: Way or No Way?
I eat it for the health benefits but I prefer regular pasta. My boyfriend really doesn't like it though, too gummy.
What's your favorite simple sandwich?
I don't know if its my favorite, but I eat it everyday for lunch. Turkey on toasted whole wheat with cranberry mustard, goat cheese, thin sliced cucumber and baby spinach-pretty darn satisfying. I also love a good bagel with cream cheese, lox, onions, capers and tomato, thats probably my fave.
Cook the Book: 'Giada's Kitchen'
Vodka sauce...with fennel flecked sausage and plenty of basil.
Was Paul Newman's Greatest Contribution Organic Snack Foods?
Ginger Newman-O's with milk. So freakin good.

I would also add Henrietta's Kitchen in Harvard Square for brunch. I've never seen such a huge selection of awesome food for brunch anywhere else.

Okay, good, I always got the same impression of the "wacky conspiracy theories." I think I'm paranoid because most of the studies (which I believe are largely inconclusive) refer to negative reproductive effects in some animal, like mice and haven't actually been tested on humans. So until I hear some real hard evidence, I will continue to enjoy my soy milk and tofu (in moderation.)
