Has Anyone Had Sister Schubert's Rolls or Marshall's Biscuits?
i love sister schubert's. i haven't had them since moving out of the south, so i think i'm going to check for them at my local grocery store after work ... wish me luck!
Serious Eats: Sex Foods
i've always heard--and even kinda felt--that unagi was an aphrodisiac. i have a story which i totally wish was appropriate enough to share here!
other than that, most foods inhibit my sex drive. i never feel sexy when i'm full.
Dinner Tonight: Chilaquiles Rojos
i thought chilaquiles usually included eggs?
either way, when i make what i call "chilaquiles", i fry tortillas, top it with eggs, chorizo if i have any, cheese, and a similar red sauce--or, sometimes, guacamole (just as good a combo, if not better).

Your food related book favorites?
"choice cuts" edited by mark kurlansky. it's bits and pieces of food writing throughout history, from old (incredibly vague) recipes to essays on food to food-related excerpts from novels.

delux is pretty delic, normally!
Mellow Mushroom: An Unlikely Southern Tradition
i've missed mellow mushroom so intensely ever since i left atlanta--so i'm nonsensically thrilled to hear that there's a location opening up in arizona!
yum.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Edible Chocolate Box from Charles Chocolates
it's been said, but flourless warm chocolate cake. with a dusting of powdered sugar & softly whipped cream, please. :]
Cheese-Filled Bacon Roll, Too Much of a Good Thing?
oh, and i'd also like to remind people that one instance of excess is not fatal or artery-clogging. if you're to the point where two bites of bacon and cheese will cause cardiac arrest, that is indeed very gross.
Cheese-Filled Bacon Roll, Too Much of a Good Thing?
i actually made this about a week ago, on my roommate's suggestion/demand (he can't cook even the simplest of weaved-bacon treats). it was, for all you haters, delicious--even if it's not possible to eat more than one or two pieces.
it really does make a pretty novel hors d'oeuvre, especially if you drain the bacon adequately (!), so give it a try. and quit being so damn uptight!
My Year in Hamburgers
happy 1st anniversary, Nick
(burgers touch in a toast)
My Year in Hamburgers
love this blog...my favorite burgers that I've tried so far this year are:
Bonnie's Grill in Park Slope and Dram Shop in Park Slope...different animals but good in their categories....
One of the best fast food burgers I've ever had was in Sante Fe, NM at Lotta Burger with green chile sauce.
Dinner Tonight: Chilaquiles Rojos
i ate chilaquiles in guadalajara all the time and they were DELICIOUS. sour cream works, but mexican crema is best. DO NOT substitute feta in this recipe. i am always baffled when recipes say you can use these cheeses interchangably. they crumble the same way, but they don't taste the same at all!
Dinner Tonight: Chilaquiles Rojos
I'm a bit late to the party here, but wanted to comment that I made these and they were stellar.
My Year in Hamburgers
God made the world in 7 days, then he relaxed with a good burger! Great reviews, Nick...look forward to another year!
My Year in Hamburgers
Nick-nobody beats your meat reviews.
My Year in Hamburgers
Your reviews rock, Nick. Like everyone else chiming in here (and probably a lot more lurkers out there), I, too, look forward to seeing where you've gone each week and what you're saying about the burger there. Even though I could easily take a sneak peek in the publishing system.
This was the wrong post to reread at 5:30 p.m. SO HUNGRY NOW.
My Year in Hamburgers
I've really enjoyed your work, Nick. Thanks!
My Year in Hamburgers
Congrats Nick and thanks for all the reviews.
My Year in Hamburgers
Congrats Nick! I think you look forward to seeing our reactions as much as I look forward to seeing your reviews.
My Year in Hamburgers
It's always enjoyable to read your words Nick. Keep them coming.

@xxxombie good catch.
Everyone else: Thanks for the support
Has Anyone Had Sister Schubert's Rolls or Marshall's Biscuits?
Ok, I just have to mix it up a bit here: Frozen biscuits? Are you kidding? People make biscuits from scratch precisely because they come together so quickly and are so tasty! Buying frozen biscuits is sort of like buying frozen toast! (Another phenomenon I'll never understand. The instructions for preparing pre-made toast that you buy in the freezer section of the grocery store: put into the toaster and, well, TOAST.) Biscuits are simple to make from scratch and I guarantee homemade biscuits will taste better. My husband, a native Kentuckian, says no true Southerner would make frozen biscuits, and serving them to guests would be just plain SHAMEFUL!

Sister Schubert's are amazing - I think the yeast rolls that come in a pan are better than the ones that come loose in a bag. I don't love the sausage as much as most people, but the cinnamon rolls are the best things EVER.
I've actually been to their headquarters in Luverne, Alabama - almost as exciting as it sounds, trust me - but they were not having tours that day. :(

Thank you all for the information. Now I need to order some of these. Some of you have said you have ordered or started to order some of these breads. Can you please provide me a good website to go to if they don't have them at Walmart here in Omaha, NE.
Thank you and HAGD,

Both Sister Schuberts and Marshalls are great products. As a matter of fact, Marshalls has been a staple here in Mobile, AL since at least the 1930's and are made practically in my back yard. Anyone who grew up here is familiar with them, and even the local school system has used Marshall's recipes for yeast rolls and biscuits since the 40's.

But where can you buy them in the NYC area? I searched and cannot find anywhere close to here? Any tips from a tri-stater?
Serious Eats: Sex Foods
Raw oysters. After 2 or 3 dozen, it's like a monster gets in me! I can go till I drop.
Serious Eats: Sex Foods
I think that dry spicy red peppers do it for me. One time I went into a pepper shop in Italy and was sampling the different products. Immediately after I was all over my boyfriend (at the time). Certainly increases circulation.

Did anyone see "Last tango in Paris"?
Serious Eats: Sex Foods
I can think of a handful off the top of my head: Pomegranate, bananas, celery (for females), peach (more for the vitamins & minerals than the shape), herbs -- basil, black pepper, cloves, ginger, cardamom...the list goes on.
Serious Eats: Sex Foods
I'm sure it says something about me, that this is the first time I am logging on to leave a comment! I belly laughed at the cherry stem postings...I entertained far too often in the pub of the restaurant my (ex) owned with my stem tying abilities. Two knots was my max! I have found that personally any food can be an aphrodisiac under the right circumstances....mood, your companion, atmosphere, ambiance, wine (have to stay away from the whiskey) or cocktails, just as long as I have been in on the cooking! It is the preparation that is sensual in my personal world.....

how about a blindfolded chocolate tasting? i recommend Dagoba tasting sized squares...
