Sweet Ticket Giveaway, Week 3: Pichet Ong's Guilty Pleasure Sweet

Toss up between home made rice krispie treats or out of the box brownies.

Um, the whole pan I guess makes it guilty. :-)

Cheese 2.0: Small Is the New Big

My fiancé is hell bent on getting some miniature cows for when we move out of NYC next year...for milk and later, for meat...I, on the other hand, am not so enthused, knowing that I'll name any cow I come into contact with, and then will be devastated when we end up taking it to slaughter. He's done a lot of research - there seem to be lots of different breeds asides from the Dexter that will work for backyard farms.

Foods We Loved as Kids, Maybe Not as Adults

Apple Jacks. With the best milk afterwards. I used to live on the stuff. I can maybe do it once a year now but only one bowl (used to do at least three each morning) and then I have to chuck the rest of the box. But the milk is still awesome.

I'm surprised by the Doritors haters. Was never a nacho cheese fan, but the cool ranch???? Can eat a bag of those in one sitting to this day. And the habanero ones they had recently were really good. Though I think I lost a layer of stomach lining because of them.

Stuffed Cheeses: Delicious or Disgusting?

I used to be a fan of pepperjack, but then I discovered cheddar with habanero, and that was it for me. I will say though, it is definitely a matter of convenience on that one.

I had wanted to try burrata for so long, that when we finally got some, I was let down. Eh. But I'm not a huge fan of cream or mozzarella either (gasp! Yes, I know), so my opinion is biased.

Cook the Book: 'Summer on a Plate'

Hmmm...this is a tough one, but I guess it'd have to be mom. Though she has never been an adventurous cook, and now she looks to me for inspiration, it was her home cooked meals that instilled the desire in me. Thanks Mom. :-)

Cook the Book: 'The Food Life'

Hmmm...I don't think I have just one place where I do my shopping. We frequent Fairway, Whole Foods and the farmers markets, and in case of emergency, I run to Waldbaums two minutes away. I guess if I had to choose though, I'd go Fairway. Huge selection and I love their international stuff!

Drying Fresh Herbs

I tried the basil in olive oil trick last year, and it was great...I just put it in the blender and then divided them up in to tablespoon size servings and froze them in an ice cube tray. It was great to add to soups/pastas/etc all winter...

Tiramisu. I got some "to go" last night and had it for breakfast. Do I feel guilty? Yes. Will I do it again, first chance I get? Yes.

My guilty pleasure is that I can't pass up a piece of cheescake. Any kind! Plain, fancy - as long as it is cheescake...new york style, any style - love it. Thanks for this opportunity!

I am a sweet freak with very little guilt, though every now and again I get sad for no reason. The other day I ate a spoon of Duncan Hines fudge frosting right out of the container. It was all delicious and trans fatty. Does that count?
