ZuZu Ramen in Park Slope, a Nice Addition to the Neighborhood
Went there a few weeks ago when I had a terrific headcold. Since my sense of taste was seriously impaired, I rely on my boyfriend's descriptions: Zuzu Ramen was pretty good, nice noodle texture; the green curry ramen was insanely peppery (like white pepper, overwhelming) and disappointing; the buns were indeed a gloppy, unsatisfying mess. The stools are a bit too high for the tables, though, so you have to hunch over your bowl to avoid dripping all over yourself. Overall, though, I'm glad to have Zuzu in the neighborhood.
Best gnocchi you've had in NYC?
The Spotted Pig's gnudi is excellent.
Also recommend the ricotta gnocci at Lupa - delicious little pillows!
It's-It Ice Cream Sandwiches at the Google Cafeteria
Every time I've been to Pacific Standard and asked about the It's-It, the only flavor they have is mint. It's fine, although often a little smushed. I don't know if it's because other flavors sell faster, or if the mint ones are cheaper, but I'm always disappointed since mint ice cream is not one of my favorites.
La Villa's Focaccia di Nonna
I also live very close to La Villa, and my boyfriend and I were always deterred by the bright lighting and Olive Garden-esque look of the place. We ordered a pie for delivery about a year ago and were seriously unimpressed. Finally ate at the restaurant last week, and had an awesome mushroom & caramelized onion square pizza (special), massive Tre Colori salad, and impeccable service. I'll also vouch that it makes great leftovers.
The Original Muffin Top Tin
My friend has had one of these pans for years; he uses it nearly exclusively for cornbread discs on chili night. Perfect for 1 box of Jiffy mix!
Anyone ever use the Martha Stewart Cast Iron Pot?
I've had the 7-qt. version of this pot for over a year - love it and use it often. Great for soups, sauces, braises, curries, etc. Great value.
Cook the Book: The Essence of Chocolate
chocolate pot de creme from Canaille Bistro in Park Slope (sadly, the chef responsible has since left the restaurant)
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Boneless Heritage Ham
ham and Dijon mustard on rye bread - melted Swiss if I'm feeling decadent

Wine Tasting Course in NYC
I took the "Navigating a Restaurant Wine List" class at Bottlerocket (19th Street b/w 5th & 6th) and found it fun & very informative. I believe they have a 4-week class series.
Kefi's new location?
Yep, went there last night - they're still at 79th Street. The spreads and meatballs were fantastic!
The Sweet Lowdown
Regis and the Pink Panther should check out the "Sweet Misery" documentary about the dangers of artificial sweeteners.
Anyone watching the Batali/Paltrow show on PBS?
I watched it with high hopes and a pre-existing distaste for Paltrow. I thought she and Batali were awfully pompous, though I liked the Claudia/Bittman segments quite a bit (especially the Manchego part). Claudia is the highlight of the show. In general, too much talking and posturing.
Sweet Ticket Giveaway, Week 2: What's Your Favorite Childhood Dessert Memory?
"Helping" my mom bake chocolate chip cookies or birthday cakes, standing on a chair to reach the counter and licking batter from the beaters. She wasn't the most enthusiastic cook, but she always liked to bake.
Honey Lavender Shortbread Cookies, An Alternative to Rosh Hashanah Honey Cake
JerzeeTomato, do you have a recipe for the biscotti? It sounds fabulous!
