New Orleans - Don't Know Where To Start!
cochon cochon cochon. lunch or dinner.
ruby red grapefruit...... from texas!
yes, the combination is divine. one of my favorite restaurants serves a signature salad year round with baby greens, avocado, grapefruit, cottage cheese, and chili jam. wonderful contrast of flavors and textures, and delicious during any season!

Skyr, Icelandic Yogurt: Beating Greek Yogurt at Its Own Game

Win Tickets to Thomas Keller Event This Weekend
tasty bites (indian food in a bag cooked in boiling water). somehow these taste divine while camping.
Best produce ever
a nectarine from a paris open market on the airplane ride to barcelona. a fuji apple picked from my friend's tree while it was pouring rain. wild strawberries from upstate new york, taste like candy.
SSSooooo....what did you REALLY eat last night???
linguini with butternut squash, golden raisins, kale, onions, and parmesan cheese. two glasses of wine and a perfect brownie during obama's speech.
What's the craziest thing you ever ate?
black pudding ---sausage made by cooking blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled.
White chocolate that is not too sweet
amedei chocolate.
Dining Alone in NYC?!
all the time! a meal alone can be so luxurious and peaceful. i love eating at bars--the little owl is great if i can walk in, sushi bars, or today i had a lovely late lunch at cafe cluny which was empty around three o'clock. they gave me the window seat and i had the most amazing skate with chanterelles, leeks, and arugula. i agree with sneakeater on that there is absolutely NO stigma to eating dinner alone in this city. be bold!
What do you think of when you hear "sushi?"
buttery salmon sashimi or smoked eel atop a bed of rice.
Great Mexican in the city
papatzul is not what you're looking for if you're looking for good authentic mexican or california mexican.
Foodie gifts from Portugal?
Serra da Estrela cheese from the northern Dao region. A heavy goat cheese that you literally spoon out from the inside of the rind and spread on your baguette like you would a creamy butter, it’s probably Portugal’s most famous cheese and a true cheese lover’s holy grail. Amazing.
Sweet Ticket Giveaway, Week 2: What's Your Favorite Childhood Dessert Memory?
fluffy vanilla angel food cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. my mother makes the best whipped cream--it's never too sweet or stiff. mmm
Serious Eats events at NYC Wine&Food Fest Sold out
i am going to the Chelsea Market After Dark Hosted by Bobby Flay! can't wait. bobby's a babe.
Win Tix to the SWEETest Event Ever at the New York City Wine & Food Fest
bread pudding at peasant.
Best way to eat ice cream?
from the fairfax scoop (in a waffle cup, a genious and environmentally -friendly invention) or bi-rate creamery. at home in a porcelain ice cream dish with my antique silver spoon and lots of toppings...berries, macadamia nuts, homemade granola, the list goes on...with a splash of whole milk to get it melty.
Strange combos
sea salt and chocolate.
cheddar cheese and apple pie.
blue cheese and anchovies.
curry and bananas.
Favorite Omelete or other Brunch Foods
genovese omelette: basil pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, jack cheese and pine nuts.
what's your sure-fire beat the heat tips?
tinto de verano (equal parts seltzer and red wine with ice and a slice of lemon). very popular in spain during the hot, hot summers. iced green tea. gazpacho. frozen bananas. cold watermelon. lots of salad with plain lemon juice dressing.
What lunch box did you have - what was in it?
some red camping one that was soft and insulated. i was envious of others' brown bags or cute tin ones. i also was one of the outcast kids, but now i realize now how lucky i was. my mother would put together the craziest lunches, always organic, of course. cheese and spinach tortellini with olive oil, cracked pepper, and parmesan cheese was my favorite, but the tupperware always leaked and my lunchbox and i smelled like delicious oil and herbs all day. she would also throw in wildcard items like giant dill pickles, banana chips, or slices of tillamook cheddar cheese. if we were good we'd get 'sundrops' for dessert: basically carob m&m's.
Cold Cereal Confessions
barbara's shredded wheat! or lydia's raw cereals.
Sex and The City...
i cannot believe i am saying this, but to be really authentic you could eat magnolia cupcakes with your cosmos. i am not a fan of their baking, but it would be in very much in the theme of sex in the city. if i were you i would just get some cupcakes from your favorite bakery. if you want something savory and your friends have a sense of humor you could buy some penis-shaped pasta (they sell it at sex shops) and cook that up. have fun! i am in madrid so i have to wait until the end of june to see it.
out on the town for thanksgiving!
did anyone dine out at a restaurant for thanksgiving? if so, where did you go, why did you choose the place, and most importantly, what did you order?
pastries!
a light, flaky almond croissant with a cup of coffee can make any afternoon a divine one... What is your pastry of choice, and at what time of day do you prefer to indulge?
What are everyone's food-related plans for cinco de mayo?
