glad to see Bandit getting some front & center exposure! these guys put together a truly fantastic line of wines. I will admit being surprised at my first sip - their cab tasted well above its pri...

Honey? Did you knock over another dadgum tombstone with the riding mower again?

serves me right for clicking on this link whilst munching on whole wheat crackers... urrgh....

that's the most disco-tastic 70's food shot I've seen in a long while! love the carmelized onions idea - how about banana peppers and spicy mustards on tofu dogs!

My KA food processor came with a juicing attachment. It looks a little clumsy, but man does it work. Haven't used it on smaller citrus like limes, but it spins through lemons, oranges and grapefr...

The cab made by Three Thieves is called Bandit - comes in a purple Tetrapak. I found it for about 6 bucks in the Bay Area - really, really surprised at the high quality. Very enjoyable stuff.

Schwartz, totally agree. Solo cooking / baking is a whole different factor in cost effectiveness. Great point. Being able to trim down baking / home cooking makes it much more economical for the...

Darn! Why didn't I think of that crystal based natural frequency $500 glass wand idea?!?

Must give a shout out to the fabulous Bokisch Vineyards 2006 Albarino. Little family run vineyard that kicks out some tremendously good spanish style wines at awesome prices ($16 for the above).

Why apologize for drinking coffee? If you source your beans responsibly, you're helping independent or co-op farmers feed their families across the world. If you go into home roasting (www.sweetm...

Well - this might sound dumb, but I'd like to know more about what makes some plants / fruits / seeds / nuts more oily than others. How does a plant generate oil or fat (growing up I had always as...

Amen on the Mark Bittman book - it made breaking into vegetarian cooking a whole lot easier. It's not a diet book either - his recipes are satisfying, filling, happy little culinary gems. Deee-li...

First timer with the Big Pancake recipe - can't wait! I'm also going to candy some citrus peels and do a big blowout Sunday feast with baked ziti and possibly some pan-fried fish. W...

Baked macaroni cheese (emmentaler gruyere), bread (tortano ciabatta), pumpkin pie. go oven go!

Hi there! I'm having a scotch tasting this weekend, and I wanted to have a nice, non-alc buzz-control type of after dinner drink for people as the evening begins to wind down. I was thinking that...
