Reader Recommendation: Modern Apizza

Modern is great apizza, Pepes white clam is better, Sallys bacon is better, Roselands shrimp, or seafood is better, otherwise MODERNS THE BEST! Went there a couple of weeks ago and Willie Nelson was eating there, he must of had the munchies!!!

Grilling: Chinese Eggplant with Garlic and Ginger Sauce

ERIC knows what hes talking about. You definetly have to saute eggplant first, after salting and putting weight on it. Taking the bitter moisture out.

Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'

My very first baking experience happend to be my first cooking experience. I must have been about 9 or 10 years old, it was a weekend morning and my mom and dad were sleeping late. I seem to remember watching a cooking show maybe the galloping gourmet with Graham Kerr, or Julia Child, whoever it was, they must have made bannanas foster because it filled my imagination with the flambe" idea. I thought it would be a good idea to make my parents something special for breakfast, and with my new found flambe" knowledge something quiet spectaculer! I set out on my adventure in the pantry looking for the ingredients to what I wasnt quite sure. A box of banana bread mix jumped out at me complete with directions, I was in buisness! We always had bananas around so I was good there to. Now I had to have fuel for the fire. I know that we didnt have cognac in our house but I remember we did have rum, being of Italian decent I knew about rum cake so I was sure it would be fine. I assembled the cake to the directions, baked it and it came out fine. Remarkably it came out fine, I then cut up some bananas and plated two servings drowning both in rum quite possibly 151.Now for the good part, I brought the two plates to my parents wanting to get the surprise affect to the max I set up a end table outside there door put the plates on it, knocked on the door waited for them to say come in matches ready, I opened the door yelled SURPRISE FLAMBE" and we had ignition. What happend next was a blur, the aftermath was a broken end table, a burnt up comforter, a burnt rug, and the disturbing memory of seeing my parents naked. Afterward I remember my mom on the phone telling grandma what happend saying, I made some sort of cake and he poured booze on it and lite it on fire, and me saying no ma I FLAMBED IT!!

Hot Dog of the Week: Flo's Hot Dogs

Adding all of this stuff on the dog really covers up the flavor of the hot dog. I like sticking to the basics, the furthest i go is chili bacon and onions. For that I go to DANNYS in STRATFORD CT. THE BEST !!!

Seriously Italian: Spaghetti All'Ubriaco

I added a piece of hot sopprasata to the pasta liquid, it added some body to the dish. Definetly not a weekly staple!
