Your Dining Companions Faux Pas at the Table
Occasionally, my friends use the wrong fork down at the club. Of course, they always feign nonchalance about the error, but I am quite sure that deep down, they recognize their grave faults and are humbled.

Is it possible to keep egg rolls crispy overnight?
If only you could reheat in a toaster oven - I've done that with excellent success. The microwave won't be a lot of help, unfortunately. Good luck though.

What are YOUR Game Day Sandwich Choices?
@Zinnia1: GO BLUE!
Pizza Madness: Pizza In a Jar
It'll fit right in: "And in Escondido, Calif., John Pontrelli, owner of Pit Stop Pasta, offers what may be a traditionalist's worst nightmare: "pizza in a bucket." It has all the pizza toppings placed in a crock or, for takeout customers, a metal can." link
Children's Book Giveaway: 'Chopsticks'
I use chopsticks to eat cheetos at work. All the delicious orange cheese powdery goodness without the trademark orange fingers.
Bottom Shelf Beer: Which Is The Best Superlight Beer?
"The most disheartening part of brew-pub waiter training must be when the boss tells you, "And this is the one you give to people who ask for the one closest to Bud Light."" Agreed.
I was at the Barrington Brewery in Great Barrington, MA this summer when a big dude asked the bartender if she had any light beers. Sassy bartendrix scoffs and says no. Big guy persists - not even a hefeweizen? Sassy bartendrix replies "no, but I can put a slice of lemon in your beer if that'll make you feel better."
8 Great American Porters
For an everyday porter, nothing is better than the aforementioned Eddie Fitz. But I do have a fondness for some years' incarnations of the Alaskan Smoked Porter (2007 - way too smoky; 2011 is delicious).
Anchor's Liberty Porter is a fine choice indeed. And I had the Deschutes Black Butte for the first time earlier this month - enjoyable as well.
But I'm staying true to the Eddie Fitz, and I miss that it's unavailable where I currently live.
What's Your Session Beer?
My personal favorite has always been Old Speckled Hen, though it's a touch stronger at 5.2%. I have also spent all afternoon drinking Moretti at a beachside refreshment stand in Italy (watching the waves, practicing calligraphy, and reading - I have strange habits), so that I do have a particular affinity for that stuff too.
Grains are bad for you!?!
I'll be taking this with several GRAINS of salt.
6 Extreme Canned Beers You Should Know
As an incurable collector of beer labels, I am appalled at this show of support for cans. Boo! :P
Super Bowl Giveaway: California Avocado Gift Box for Guacamole-Making
naked. the avocado, i mean.
Is Public Drinking Good For the Neighborhood?
Serious Eats LLC, assemble! Seriously, how many attorneys are on this thing? There are at least a good number of us who posted about where to eat near the Javits Center in late July, if you know what I mean...
The law, as I read it (but what do I know, I'm a securities lawyer) hinges on the concept of "access." A stoop, while private property, is accessible to the public, or at least a substantial portion of the public, in that nothing's stopping folks from coming onto it. It's not gated, it's not locked, and access isn't hindered or restricted by anything other than people's general sense of propriety. The mailman comes and goes; the FedEx guy does; a door-to-door salesman probably used to; neighborhood kids theroetically *could*. That's access, and that's a substantial portion of the public. Of course, the officer was clearly wrong - it's not about being in sight of a public place at all. Nonetheless, I could imagine that the analysis changes if your front patio was fenced in - it doesn't seem to be in your telling of the story. Btw, I always reload the page before posting a reply this long in order to make sure I'm not duplicating someone else's comment - glad I did. Thanks @ChiefHDB for the Westlaw search!
As to discretion, for sure there is a significant amount of leeway afforded law enforcement officers, hence the issue of racial profiling (or negative racial profiling, in that some people some folks *aren't* prosecuted when they could be). Public perception of such exercise is a huge motivator, and Harlem is likely one of those places where racially-motivated officer discretion has come under scrutiny. As a result, such discretion, while theoretically available, is practically off-limits. To put it more cynically, you're a packing peanut: the cops bust you in order to bolster the argument that busting the black kid with a 40 down the street *wasn't* racially motivated. You're just insulation for the police busting the real target. @CalamityJane is on point here - putting aside whether or not the law was indeed broken here, equal enforcement seems to be the key here.
Eyewitness Booze Investigation: Smirnoff Fluffed Marshmallow and Whipped Cream Vodkas
Congratulations on your ascension to the ranks of the newly affianced! Congratulations indeed. I hope your wedding cake is, at the very least, topped with alcoholic whipped cream of some sort. Maybe?
As for Words with Friends, what's your handle? I'm sure lots of SE readers would love to challenge you. You'd probably beat me, unless I start pulling this crap from Penny Arcade. Congrats again - this is most excellent news.
Poll: Eggplant on Pizza, Way or No Way?
I love a good eggplant, and I like it on pizza. I think the controversy of putting it on pizza is, in large part, the controversy of eating it at all.
Cambridge, MA: Hell Night at East Coast Grill, a Dinner of Chile-induced Pain
Russian roulette meatballs is a GENIUS idea. Damn...
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Knife
My favorite knife is an 8" magenta Pure Komachi chef's knife. It's not particularly fancy, but it's so thin and light that it's a pleasure to use everyday. I probably wouldn't have purchased something quite so pink, but it was a gift from another Serious Eater [thanks, dashofginger!] and I love it now.
