@STLcolleen: I make shrimp shell stock with leftover shrimp shells all the time--the flavor is more subtle and you do have to up the seasoning, but it is easier to manage (for me at least) than fin...
@Palmetto: I don't care how careful I am, things stick. Especially when you need to sear something at high heat. Also, regulating temperature is difficult on a circa 1950 electric push button renta...
Homemade hummus is the best--I hate the chemically flavor of store-bought hummus.
I like your addition of sumac! I often add za'atar spice to mine! Yum. I also love adding curry powder...
You DO NOT have to continuously stir risotto and Marcella Hazan, of all people, has said as much. However, as other people have mentioned, I don't think you can get away with baking rice and callin...
Shrimp with Ouzo or Pernod and Feta sprinkled on top.
Also, I strongly agree with @athena: fresh herbs and good olive oil on top of the feta, served with great bread. Such a simple pre...

I don't have kids yet, but I have great memories of watching and stirring and chopping even at a very young age in the kitchen with my mom, grandmother, and nanny. It's the best present I ever rece...
Seconding everything that everyone else has said, I've also had a glass blender break on me before and cut my hand badly because of hot soup. Still have the scar on my finger. Now I only do the im...
Everything that you said above, Medjool dates, toasted pita with a bowl of za'atar and olive oil to dip, and a weird one from my high school days: nutmeg milk ice. If I needed a pick-me-up before a...
Goat cheese stuffed dates, baked until steamy!
Also, Carpenter & Main, a great restaurant in VT, did these bar snacks when I lived nearby that were incredible: Medjool dates stuffed w...
Same with me! Flour and sugar and nuts in the fridge. More room in the fridge than in my minuscule cabinets. I store sugar in the fridge in airtight jars, but I've also just put the bag in there be...
Yeah, I've always been intrigued too but totally put off by the price. Maybe for a treat sometime soon...
Instead, I make olive oil crackers with this recipe I got over at chowhound:
@Bobolink: I'm with you. 2 cups of oil is not what I would call "healthy" eating even if there are beans in it.
But the recipe sounds nice, if they won't fall apart in 1 tsp. of oil in...
Haha--at first look that veggie terrine looked like a loaf of bread with pimento cheese molded into it. And I thought, WHAT!? I have to pass that on to family and friends. Oh well, the terrine look...
Put them in the poaching water for fish, add them to soup that has whole fennel, sprinkle on top of a grain salad that would be nice with fennel flavor, as a lovely garnish for lighter soups or pis...
By the way, I tried the wine ice cube method suggested here based on a post you all did a while ago. The red wine wouldn't come out of the ice cube tray as it never completely froze because of the ...
