Picked up a jar of fennel pollen a while back at Zingerman's. I've been using it a lot lately for fish en papillote. Lovely complement for fish, as well as chicken and pork.
I would definitely play this with my foodie friend Dan...Mr. Food Trivia.
(Totally made-up subjective) Food Fact: Bacon is a seasoning that can be used to enhance almost any dish; much...
I'll second the Corningware Pop-Ins products. Great for taking leftovers to work if there is a refrigerator and microwave in your office. They are great for putting leftovers in or even baking di...
Anne (in Reno)- A variation on SassySally's recommendation would be "soupy-rice" with miso soup. Akin to chinese congee...cooked rice plopped into miso soup (or oddly, lipton chicken noodle soup f...
After reading the comments here, I read the NY Times article carefully. I have to say, as far as I know, the rather classic Italian pasta dish that qualifies as "summer pasta" (according to my fat...
For me, "green" in the kitchen has become trying to eat more local (participating in a CSA program), attempting to grow tomatoes and herbs at home - cultivating the soil to produce nutrient rich so...
This year I'm going to say tomatoes off the vine, since I am growing tomatoes for the first time! I have 8 heirloom varieties teasing me with their still small, green fruit...I'm crossing my finge...
I adore this cookbook and have not cooked from it as much as I would like. I have yet to make the roast chicken and bread salad for fear of setting of the smoke detectors in my house (which seem v...

Just curious, what are the local foods you'd miss if you moved? Or what local foods do you miss from a place you lived in the past?
Buffalo is known for its chicken wings, but now is ...
Personally, I'm not a huge gin fan...a little too floral for me and it brings out the devil in my personality :-p
That said, I will partake in a Hendricks and tonic once in a blue moon...
Are there any preventative measures a person can take to prevent bedbugs??? Though I do not live in NY, a friend will be passing through NY and staying in a hotel en route to coming to stay with m...
I keep a bag of frozen artichoke hearts in the freezer at all times. I used to do jarred until I had a recipe that called for frozen. If you're not going with fresh, I'd definitely go w/ frozen ...
oh yeah...and summer festival food. big art festival in my neighborhood this weekend...street food includes sausage w/ onions and peppers, fresh cut french fries, cotton candy, fried dough (mmmmm!...
grilled marinated flank steak, corn on the cob, fresh strawberries with condensed milk, anything with fresh tomato but especially caprese...gosh the list goes on and on. really hope i succeed in m...
I'd definitely see if you can exchange it for another one, wherever you bought it. I got mine at Williams-Sonoma, and with their generous return policy, know they'd just replace it.
I second the magnetic strip. No mess, no fuss....don't have to worry about bacteria forming in the block. It's good to be a bit careful putting it on and off the strip though...you can mess up yo...
Just purchased an Asko dishwasher (D3122XL) this morning at a Memorial Day appliance warehouse sale. Anyone with Asko experience? I've read mixed reviews, but the price was too good to pass on, 5...
I tend to pick up, rinse, and carry on...but obviously that applies only to rinsable foods. If, say, a bit of chopped up canned tomato falls on the floor, the dog gets it. Sometimes I just feel l...

MoM - all of the sudden my comment about POUTINE seems very dirty...must take note of proper spelling!! Thanks for the heads up!
