The key bit of fabulous culinary lore that is missing here: The original Savenor's in Cambridge was Julia Child's butcher shop, and is only a couple minutes from her house. The butchers there joke ...
I can't choose. While I usually make fried (we called them Drippy Egg Sandwiches when I was a kid), I do love scrambled as well... When I lived in Brooklyn I used to get the Monster Egg Sandwich fr...
I just got back from Italy last week, but we weren't in Florence this time. Last time I was there, a couple years ago, we ate several lunches at Cantinetta dei Verrazzano (aw, it's like NYC!), a fo...
I used the MS recipe, over a million layers of magnetic primer, for a wall in my office. It works ok, but my walls are very old plaster and I think they are just too textured for a chalkboard paint...
I grew up obsessed w/ the curds from the Tillamook Cheese Factory in my home state of Oregon. I have to say the Trader Joe's ones are a bit of a let-down--not quite squeaky in my opinion. Maybe I s...
I'm glad the Boston Home Team explained so clearly why you should have a buyer's agent (I know the original poster has one, but for other people reading this for advice). As he/she said, it doesn't...
I always make a salad that used to be on the menu at Inoteca: It's romaine and raddichio in a red wine vinaigrette, with a mountain of grated ricotta salata on top. You can see a photo midway down ...
I laughed when my mom said these were awesome (my parents go to outdoor concerts every week, all summer), but then she gave me a set and let me tell you, we were SO smug at Tanglewood last year! Ou...
The oil/vinegar proportions worked great; almost all my kale crisped up perfectly (I dried it very well in a salad spinner). The only problem is the salt measurement--I usually don't measure salt f...
Oh god, I love celeriac. I have mostly cooked/eaten it in purees as well, I used an Alton Brown recipe to great effect for Christmas Eve dinner last year (second meal in this post):
Lardo is heaven. It's really common in Tuscany and Umbria...It's among the best things I've ever eaten, especially sliced very thin and served on pieces of hot-from-the-oven foccacia. Oh god. (And ...
They also make a version that holds sheet pans! I have one in my pantry, you can see it hovering below the top shelf in this picture (oh, it looks like I actually had a note pointing it out!):
Yay, Silver Fox! It's my living room/tv room color and I LOVE it, but I have acres of trim in White Dove... I think the purple wall will indeed help make the Silver Fox read grey again, just go for...
I grew up with this, too, and I still make it for a quick lunch some days. I also use the frozen brown rice from Trader Joe's the same way--toast it up for a few minutes in the pan before adding th...
SHAVAVAL. You are a genius. I hadn't checked back here in ages but I needed to grab the link today so I did, and wow, that is an awesome, awesome idea. I'm so excited!!! Thank you!
Carla made a beurre rouge. I was impressed by her skills, too, and she has been growing on me. I always found her crazypants ways entertaining, but it seems like she can really cook!

I have found bulk spices at certain (larger) Whole Foods stores, but the better source near me is a local food Coop. They also have bulk oils, honey, much more selection in the regular bulk dry-goo...
In middle and high school I always grabbed a favorite from my mom's shelf of cookbooks to read while I ate a snack after school. The China Moon cookbook was (and is) my favorite for pleasure readin...
