Eating for Two: Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

jennywren, i am definitely with you on that one...i was in labor for 23 hours and all i could think of were my cravings....please try to resist...but i had to have my corned beef and cabbage and cheesy curly fries, yep, all of that and all the while my mother is telling me (she had 8 kids and i still didn't listen to her) you really shouldn't eat all that...OK, so we get to the hospital and i leave my husband and run into some poor unknown's room and regurgitate my stupid heart out...at least a half hours worth...my husband finally finds me and asks if i were going to throw up the baby...it was that intense...

May I Pour You Some Wine? A Server's Take on Wine Service

Hannah, i have to say first of all HOORAY to you in sounding off...and yes, communication as a diner is the key here...i think anyone who goes to a restaurant and is so wrapped up that they can't speak up is frankly, "an idiot," and yes, i am unafraid to type this...it's also poor table manners to boot...

I have experienced to some extent or another fine dining most of my life and have done so with my own daughter who is now 20. If you don't want coffee service you turn your cup down and if you are not partaking of the wine, the glass should leave the table...very simple...if a teenager can comprehend this...what gives...

My family spends the holidays in CA...and we visit some very fine establishments while there...we have children at the table some who are obviously under age and then some who are not...it started when my daughter was around 16 and tall for her age...we all sit down at a said establishment in BH and the wine starts to flow...but my family is watching my daughter as she properly tells the server she's not having wine and asks for the glass to be removed...mother and grandmother are very proud of this....

Sometimes i am amazed at how proper table manners and etiquette are not adhered to these days...just thinking out loud...

Ed Levine's Serious Diet: Week 6, Are Flavor Intensifiers One of the Keys to Losing Weight?

i can't explain it but homemade pico de gallo is good with just about everything and it's not extra or a lot of more calories but it seems like you are eating more, whole grain mustard is great or dijon, i use Parmigiano-Reggiano religiously--it is the best flavor intensifier...whatever works!!! and finally, good ole Frank's hot sauce--there were a few people before me who mentioned these things...sorry!!!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Secrets...

shortening not butter is the key according to a friend's mother and her cookies have the best texture to me and it's the Tollhouse recipe...she indicated that the original recipe on the package 20-30 years ago indicated shortening and now it indicates butter!!! just my 2 cents
