A Tofu Throwdown: Lions Head Meatballs vs. Tofu and Orzo
i don't think adding tofu to lion's head meatballs could come from a "classic" recipe. i've never heard of anyone doing that and it seems very atypical of chinese cuisine.
Meat Lite: Hybrid Banh Mi
i think what makes grilled pork banh mi so good is the "grilled" pork. there is no chargrilled flavor if you cook it in your oven. this seems sad.
What Weird Family Foods Did You Grow Up Thinking Were Normal?

Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
steamed broccoli, slathered in mayo. scrambled eggs with sriracha. moffles with pb&j. frozen corn or peas cooked in lots of butter, salt, pepper. fried rice made form leftovers. a fried egg on top of something... anything.

In Videos: Explainer: Can You Eat Squirrels?
my childhood friend's brother used to catch squirrels in their backyard. they cooked em. sometimes i'd find frozen squirrel parts in the freezer.
Photo of the Day: Giant Soup Dumpling
that's my soup dumpling!
this is at Nan Xian Man Tou Dian in Shanghai. there was only broth inside with tiny bits of crab meat and roe. it was ok, not crazy good. i think the novelty of it is better than the actual flavor of the soup. you are not supposed to eat the dough, but i tried it. it was much like soggy pie crust.
the xlb here are not as good as the taipei chain, din tai fung. but this is supposed to be a landmark restaurant to visit while visiting shanghai.
For Christmas: Are We Talkin' Turkey Or Cookin' a Goose?
we always have duck for christmas
Unbelieveable! This Is Not Butter!
Some friends have a cat named Butters. They used to live across the street from a cat that looked just like Butters. We called him I Can't Believe it's Not Butters.
Snapshots from Asia: Muah Chee
omg, my mom used to always describe the texture of some foods as "qq" when i was growing up and i thought she was crazy. i thought we were the only ones that used that. it's a real term!
Waiter, What's That Horse Doing in my Sushi?
i had horse nigiri in japan last year. i could barely swallow it, but i think it was psychological.
Where Would You Go for Your Ultimate 'Two Hour Vacation'?
Din Tai Fung in Taipei for soup dumplings... and then hit the streets for taiwanese street food.
Cheddar Bay Biscuits of Self-Loathing
popeye's red beans and rice and biscuits
um, and chick-fil-a's chicken sandwiches
Cook the Book: 'Texas Cowboy Cookbook' Giveaway
seems so very wrong, but the vegan chili at dog almighty is my favorite in austin.
Bagel + CD Spindle = Bagel to Go
i'd suspect the cd spindle is not made from food-grade plastic, and therefore should not be used to store food.
What's Next, Wine in Sippy Cups?
mj had some at sxsw last year. we drank them in the hallway. i don't remember specifics but i do remember we commented that it wasn't bad.
Chinese New Year Eats
here in austin, we are seriously lacking in the chinese restaurant department, but i had an absolutely lovely CNY meal with some egulleters last night at Pao's Mandarin House in Lakeway. Pao's really is the best authentic chinese restaurant in austin, and one of the best in texas, even rivaling those in coastal cities with larger chinese population. the friendly and knowledgeable staff, some from beijing, filled us in all the meaning behind the food choices for our new year's celebration. and everything was perfectly prepared. i have pics on flickr that i would link to right now, but flickr is having a massage. :(
Milkshakes: should they come with whipped cream on top or not?
i prefer without whipped cream. i think it's just used as visual filler, to fool you into thinking there is more than you paid for.

When I eat alone I usually make toast and add tuna with a slice of tomato and then melt cheese on top. Yum

Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
When I eat alone, the treat is really in not having to choose something to make and not having to cook anything. So I snack on crackers, bagels, cherry tomatoes, toast with butter and jam and especially fresh popcorn.
Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
I usually boil some pasta and top it off with an easy homemade sauce consisting of tomatoes, olive oil, basil, and garlic. A little cheese on top is nice, too. kneecree at gmail dot com
Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
I live alone, so I eat alone most of the time. I really like the frozen fish that comes individually packed because I can take it out of the freezer the night before or even that morning and I don't have to worry about mediocre leftovers. I also like eating breakfast foods for dinner since making up a nice omelet is a quick and easy meal.
