I am suddenly feeling very lame for picking up asparagus at the store last night. I thought it was a spring vegetable, but they looked good....

I absolutely LOVE that you did this! I always overspend when we have dinner but I suspect I could do this for $100. I would most likely make the mustard pork loin recipe...

Food & Wine always has approachable articles around wine, and food-related articles to boot! I started receiving Wine Spectator (no clue why) and, to be honest, as much as I love wine,...

thinkingwoman - I am planning on doing a similar roasted dish and will probably prepare it the night before or the morning of Thanksgiving. I don't know that you'll have problems with wilting or b...

This weekend I am finalizing my shopping list, shopping for non-perishables and cleaning out my fridge. I will likely do a lot more but have become a bit disorganized as work has been busy. Lucki...

I am attempting my first "no knead" bread tonight so flour may soon be at the top of my list! These are the things I buy without fail every week: Wine/Beer Eggs

I made soup tonight and while unwrapping the last of my parm I remembered this post! Turned out great.

I would probably be cheaper to just buy boards in different colors, right? I don't cook much meat, but I use the cheap white boards from IKEA for cutting meat, and wooden cutting board...

I love you for this! When I was sick with Mono in high school I lived on "mushy rice" for a month. I had no idea it was a proper dish :-)

As the pasta says - get better soon! When I am sick, I usually eat soup and drink loads of water, orange juice and 7-Up. And, to be honest, unless I am deathly ill, I drin...

Imagine my surprise seeing this as a post! I just grabbed my boyfriend from the living room to show him. I feel so special :-) Anyhow, this is excellent timing as I hosted a dinner l...

Agreed on getting the standard size if you have the space. We have a Cuisinart (unsure of capacity) and it had a smaller bowl you can insert and use if you need to chop/blend a bit of something.

Thanks for clearing this up. I saw the "yes on 8" ad earlier and was kind of baffled.....

My boyfriend insists on cooking pasta/rice separately from the soup and adding to each serving. It does help, but I am generally too lazy to do this.....

I am expecting 20 for Thanksgiving this year. Any tips on keeping mashed potatoes warm? I'd like to make them ahead of time if possible.

I'd love to hear if they retain heat well. I am serving 20 for Thanksgiving and am still researching how to serve a large portion of gravy and ensure it stays warm.....

Mashed potatoes, garlic bread, wine and 7-Up.

Peet's.

Go for it. I was seriously considering this program until I received an Expobar machine as a gift. The FrancisFrancis machines are good, and the coffee is great.

The New Orleans style shrimp!
