@ Emily I was just about to say, that I bet they'd be killer together!

@ art, Glad to hear you know about the stewed oxtail! We don't do ours with lima beans, but I'm sure everything else is about the same. As for roti, my grandmother can ma...

Oxtail is fabulous. In Trinidad, we either stew it or make oxtail soup. I once began a now very neglected foodblog, but if anyone is interested in the post on Trini oxtail stew, here's the link:

I am totally going to plant pet grass in one for the cat. @ curvatura: I've seen them at Trader Joe's.

Actually, one of the best Thanksgiving meals I've ever had wa at a vegan potluck. Now, most of the guests were staff at a vegan restaurant... so that may have had a lot to do with the quality of th...

@wildwoodsflower: Why don't you start an account with one of the online bookmarking tools? I use delicious.com to save all my recipes, from all sorts of different foodblogs and websites. It's...

I was just talking with one of my co-workers about how much we love the Trader Joe's wine selection...

I drink so much tea its unreal. Even during the summer, but I know it's going to increase this fall. Frankly, I'm tired of washing teapots (hard to get inside the little hole in the top) and buying...

I know a guy with the USDA Grade A Beef stamp on his butt... does that count?

I would think that a condition that caused a person to be unable to eat vegetables would be pretty debilitating to their health... is there a correlation between conditions like diabetes and "super...

@ squiggle: " what about Asians?" Have you had Hong Kong milk tea or Thai iced tea (served with condensed milk)? Not all tea in Asian countries is served wi...

I think Americans are the only people I've ever met with an aversion to milk in tea. It sort of makes sense as most people here seem to think of tea as "herbal tea" (although that's actually not te...

There are so many people on here that are also craving pistachio in a big way.... yeah, I'd make pistachio and chocolate, and eat them together. yum.
