Healthy and Delicious: Granola Bars
I made these today and love them. They're actually borderline addictive. I greased the pan, but skipped the parchment, and they came up fine. (Of course, I thought they were a little too healthy and so added 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips, too).
The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich
Mmmm. I dig fried egg sandwiches like nobody's business. I toast whole-wheat bread with a little bit of butter, fry two eggs in olive oil with salt, coarse black pepper and Tabasco, and break the yolk. When I flip the egg to fry the other side, I grate pepper jack cheese on top and let it get all melty.
Wapow. I think I'm gonna have to go make one right now...
Do You Eat the Bruised Parts of Bananas?
Bruised, soft bananas are perfect for banana bread. The more bruised and nasty-looking, the better. Peel them, freeze them, and then defrost into moist mush to make the richest-tasting banana bread ever.
As for eating them out of hand, blech.

SE'er Food Blogs
I post my neurotic food adventures at www.postmodernfeeding.blogspot.com
Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
Sauteed Swiss chard, or a ginormous salad in a bowl big enough to swim in.
In Season: Cucumbers
I just discovered Spicy Quick Dill Pickles, and we're going through a quart a day around here now: http://postmodernfeeding.blogspot.com/2009/08/spicy-quick-dill-pickles.html
Cook the Book: '100 Best Vegetarian Recipes'
Mmmm. Stuffed portabellos maybe, or Pizza alla Margherita. Total toss-up between the two.
Fasta Pasta, The Microwavable Pasta Cooker
Oh. Well. If the FDA approved it...
(for the love of all that is sacred)
Fasta Pasta, The Microwavable Pasta Cooker
I love the taste of plastic in the morning.
Papa John's Making Heart-Shape Pizzas for Valentine's Day
Great. Heart-shaped pizzas. I can just feel the romance, the sexiness, the allure. Maybe Starbucks will serve coffee in heart-shaped cups, Baskin-Robbins will have heart-shaped cones, and Krispy Kreme will offer heart-shaped doughnuts. I'm getting all hot and bothered just thinking about it.
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 40: Yes, We Can!
I think we all lost weight this week. Biting one's nails while watching election coverage certainly counts as a diet aid, hmmm?
Too Many Veggies from the CSA?
I found the CSA to be a better deal financially than going to the farmer's market (though I do supplement by going to the market as well). I, like many others, freeze what I can't eat. If there is anything that I don't want, I trade it to friends or to other CSA members for items I want more of.
Babycinos, a Drink for Babies
A local coffee shop in my town serves Vanilla Steamers, steamed and frothed milk with vanilla syrup. I simplified matters (and made things healthier) at home by treating my 4-year-old to steamed and frothed vanilla soymilk. He thinks it is as much of a treat as hot chocolate.
Cooking With Kids: Different Approaches to Baby Food
I followed this same theory with my two children (one of whom is 12-months old now), but I didn't bother with a food mill. When she was 6 or 7 months old, I plopped her into a high chair and started letting her dig around in a tiny bowl of whatever we were having. If need be, I smashed it up with a fork or chopped it with a knife, but for the most part, she happily gummed away at beans, pasta, grilled veggies, whatever.
Feeding kids isn't rocket science. It has just been turned into a commercial endeavor, like everything else.
Green Side Dish Suggestions Needed!
Green beans can still be had at the farmer's market right now. Here are a couple of uber-easy recipes:
- Italian Dijon Green Beans: http://postmodernfeeding.blogspot.com/2005/06/eat-yer-veggies.html
- Green Beans with Garlic & Shallots: http://postmodernfeeding.blogspot.com/2008/08/green-bean-fries-for-pitys-sake.html
- Green Beans with Butter & Herbs: http://postmodernfeeding.blogspot.com/2008/08/simple-life.html
Making your granola a cluster event
I have a reliable recipe that I use for granola, and I have found that cooking on convection helps the oats to cluster better (though still not quite as much as the stuff in the stores). The amount of honey and oil has an effect as well - the more you use, the better the cluster.

Photo of the Day: What Is This?
A spoon stuck into a raspberry-filled, maple-iced doughnut, which, if you ponder on it too long, will make you hurl.

Soda vs. Pop vs. Whatever: What Do You Call Cola Drinks?

'Waiter Rant': The Giveaway
I was in Rome (Georgia, that is) at some dive and lucked into an extremely good-looking waiter with a smile that was having an effect on my, um, appetite. Six months or so later, I was at a coffee shop at 2 o'clock in the morning in Athens (Georgia, that is) and turned around to find That Waiter in line behind me. He smiled that smile and we enjoyed a very, very interesting rest of the night together.
In Videos: 12-Mile Walk for Free Cheeseburger
Shoot. I'd crawl 12 miles for a good cup of Cafe Cubano.
