Do You Have a Favorite Greek Yogurt?
I prefer Fage. Oikos and Chobani taste like chalk.
Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'
I'm fickle - I don't think I have an absolute favorite burger. I like 'em with onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard (fast food stylie), but I also like 'em with chipotle mayo, green chile sauce, bacon, etc. There was a restaurant in Baltimore that served burgers with bacon and Boursin cheese - man, those were delish!
'Top Chef Masters' Host Kelly Choi: 'Food Bloggers Are Mean'
I am a food blogger and I think my reviews are largely positive. If I have a bad meal, it has to be truly bad before I say anything to the effect. And when I do, it's to alert other diners of potential issues, not merely to badmouth.
Kelly shouldn't give us a bad name. After all, I blog on AllTopChef (http://alltopchef.blogspot.com) and will be doing my best to promote her new show. Maybe not her so much now....

Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
I read dozens of food blogs every day and have to say that Serious Eats is one of my favorites. PWC is on the list as well, along with a bunch of local (Baltimore) blogs. It's all good, all informative, all entertaining.

Cook the Book: 'Modern Spice'
I'd love to learn to cook anything Asian. I dabble with flavors but would really like to learn authentic Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Indian.
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
I have many many fond food memories. We lived with my grandmother, and she made some pretty incredible - but simple - food. My favorite was her barszcz (Polish borscht), bright fuchsia and chock-full of tender nuggets of pork. And I always was happy to smell the onion-smothered kotlety (pork hamburgers) fragrance wafting upstairs to our third-floor apartment. Oh so many more...and my Dad's attempts at making Chinese food were pretty memorable as well....
Cook the Book: ''Wichcraft'
How about a NY-style po' boy with roast brisket and provolone :)
Restaurant recommendation for Wilmington/Newark, Delaware?
Definitely try Cajun Kate's in the Booth's Corner Farmer's Market in Boothwyn, PA, mere minutes from Wilmington. It's a small stand, but they have the most fabulous gumbo and po boys! Here's the site: http://cajunkates.com/
I'm hitting the place myself next weekend!
The Next Food Network Star - are we watching?
I only watch it for the comedy aspects of it. And so I can recap it for my food blog: http://minxeats.blogspot.com/2008/06/next-food-network-tool-star.html
See's Chocolates: Have You See-n the Light?
I love See's! Even their cream-filled candies are delicious! And when compared to the ridiculously over-priced Godiva, they are miraculous.
For Christmas: Are We Talkin' Turkey Or Cookin' a Goose?
I'd go for the goose, but then I'm not a turkey lover. One year I made roast duck. Last year we had short ribs. This year it's spaghetti carbonara. We like to mix things up in our house - no such thing as a Christmas favorite!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
I like bacon chewy, with crisp edges. Hard bacon is a no-no!
Help! I Flunked the AOL Regional Barbecue Test
I know next to nothing about bbq regionalism and I got 6 out of 10. I suppose I read too much. :)
Cook the Book: 'Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant'
When I eat alone, which is seldom, I usually go for vegetables, particularly ones my husband won't eat: eggplant, summer squash. Sometimes I do a saute of onions and summer squash into which I scramble a couple of eggs, or even more simply, I'll have a tomato sandwich with thickly sliced tomato and Japanese mayo on good supermarket bread. Yum!
Grom Gelato: The New Drug
Wow - I think gelato is cheaper at the Venetian in Vegas (although probably not as tasty). Isn't amazing how grapefruit gelato can taste so darn good, and so true to the fruit? I had it for the first time at Gelatiamo, in Seattle. Best gelato I've ever had....but I haven't been to Grom.
Cookbook Giveaway: 'Super Natural Cooking'
Blackberries, fresh ripe summer tomatoes, mangoes, and naval oranges are my favorite healthful and pleasurable foods.
Chain-Letter Chef
I've participated in one of these that scored me a total of 0 recipes.
SweetLeaf Stevia. The next new thing?
The stevia I've tasted in the past has a bitter, licorice-like flavor. It's not merely sweet, like sugar and artificial sweeteners. I didn't like the taste, but I'd try it again if that flavor were somehow removed.
Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
Hard to choose. I started out in food blog land with I Was Just Hungry.

Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/ is one of my favorites (along with SE, of course!) - her entire blog receives several visits a day from me as I check to see if there is anything new - I discovered this delightful site this summer - I've tried several of her recipes, and am smitten - I'd really love to win her cookbook!
