35 - 34, Saints over Indy.
A bagel sandwich I read about here! Bagel with bacon, cream cheese, tomato and hot sauce. Plus a giant bloody mary (with gin and lime juice instead of vodka and lemon).
Bellavitae. Delicious food aside, the servers there are smart, often actually Italian and really know they're stuff. They aren't afraid to tell you what's best that day and their wine recs are spot on. 24 Minetta Lane.
As a native of Baltimore and a passionate O's fan, I just want to say that any person who goes to the ballpark to get a crab cake in B'more is an idiot. If you want to get the true Oriole Park feel, hit up Boog's BBQ inside the Eutaw Street entrance, where you just might get served by one of the greatest first basemen in O's history, Boog Powell. Or grab yourself an Esskay hotdog, the only franks good enough to be endorsed by Baltimore's Iron Man, Cal Ripken Jr. If you want crab cakes, wait until the game is over and go to Obrycki's.
Just made this recipe from Gourmet:

I felt a little strange putting mayo in the oven, but it was super simple and surprisingly delicious.
I didn't mean fill the tub up with water and leave everything in there and then bathe with it. I just meant as a good out of the way place to store used pots and pans so they don't pile up in the kitchen. In small kitchens sometimes sinks are really small, it's nice to use a bigger space if you're cleaning big pots. Sorry to all of you with delicate sensibilities that I may have offended.
Oh Lord. Made this for breakfast today. It's absurdly delicious.
For dishes. Take advantage of your tub. Things tend to pile up and get in the way and make cooking around the mess even harder.
So, if I'm going to pile up lots of dirty pots and pans, I do it in the tub. When it's time to wash, roll up your pants, get in there with 'em, and give the tub a good scrubbing when you're finished.
I second the spices. I brought bags and bags back from Campo Di Fiore. While you're there you should go to Al Forno (or maybe it's just Forno...?). It's a bakery and sandwich place that will absolutely blow your mind.
I think there are prohibitions for bringing back cured meats, but I've heard of a number of folks who have managed to sneak them through customs.
Egg noodles and cottage cheese is my number one comfort food. Throw in butter and the CC when the noodles are warm with salt and lots of pepper.
It's like a no-bake kugel!
Inspired by a side dish at Bellaviate in the West Village. Sauteed Cauliflower, cut very finely, mixed with pine nuts, currants and bread crumbs.
Seems like the peanut butter thing is a common theme. I really love peanut butter and avocado sandwiches.
This salad will change your life:

We eat it with every meal, even breakfast. The longer it's in the fridge, the better it is. I know it seems strange to eat Kale raw, but trust me, it's insanely good.
Also, my gal recently made up a pasta dish. Fresh papardelle with sauteed radicchio and sauteed collards with anchovies, chopped bacon, sauteed onions and breadcrumbs. Kind of a mix of what we had in the fridge plus a few extras. I was wowed at the combo of pasta and winter greens.
Best Gelato I've had outside of Italy was at Gelato Bar in Studio City, CA. Authentic all natural flavors, great atmosphere, and super friendly. They'll also make you a killer espresso and if you're nostaligic for Italian candy, you can find all your favorites there.
Do they still make Raisin Nut Bran? I used to go wild for those nut covered raisins.
I like getting the organic varieties of peanut butter crunch and honeycomb and mixing them together.
Went to Obika in Rome. It was amazing. Plates full of Burrata and stratiatella, buffala and smoked, great cured meats, lots of fresh salads and great wine. Ate myself sick and wanted to go back for more.
I usually use the channukah tradition of cooking foods in oil to eat things I would not normally eat. I've been experienting with my new deep fryer and have made deep fried miniature candy bars which are a huge hit and ricotta fritters. If you want to go more traditional, I love latkes made with various root vegetables, like sweet potatoes and carrots, and making homemade jelly doughnuts with really good jam.
Also, fyi, the first night of Chanukah is tomorrow, December 5th.
Wow. Gross. Got a shrimp de-vein-er last night as a matter of fact. So no more shrimp poo for me.
Thanks everyone!
Made these for dinner last night. The more salt and lime juice the better they are. Served them with buttery ears of summer corn and a red wine from Portugal.
Near the Charles theater is an awesome kitchy and delicious restaurant called Zodiac, 1724 N Charles St.
I'm throwing a holiday party and have a great menu (lamb kebabs, bacon wrapped figs, deviled eggs, meat plate, etc.) I'll have a cheese plate and fresh veggies, but I need one substantial finger food option for the vegetarian invitees. Any ideas?
Have had some arguments about what the veins are that run down the back and/or under sides of shrimp. What are they exactly? Do you need to take them out? Is it gross to eat them?

Beer. In coozies.
