I don't have cable, and it is running on 2 or 3 of my PBS channels, at least 2x a day. The local listings on the site even have an option to send an email reminder to you!
I love bucatini...fun to eat, but hard to cook sometimes - they really have to be done perfectly, they go from al dente to mush very quick. Oh, and hard to twirl, but that's the fun part!
Just like anything else that isn't good in excess for our kids, we need to limit how and when our kids use video games. I would also love to get a DS for my son (5) for long trips in the car. We ...
Cauliflower should get to be larger than a softball before picking. I found with ours, when it goes too long it starts to turn a bit of purple.
I have 2 favorite ways with cauliflower...
Thanks, Peter! The recipe and lemonade looks really good...I'm glad you were sure to add in the lemon zest, that's my favorite part of a Del's! Oh, and I like your Smuttynose glass too ;).
My Cutco cheese knife is incredible on tomatoes. It's got really sharp and tiny serrated teeth, and with the big holes in it, the slices don't stick. It's also smaller, so easier to handle if I d...
yes, if I could only find a porchetta done right here...never had anything like it since Italy...whether from a lunch cart or a proper restaurant, no one makes it like they do in Italy.
You can also frost your cake with softened vanilla ice cream. We used to do that at the ice cream shop I worked at. I have also heard of people using cool whip. I think it will come out just fin...
A PYO place near us uses large yogurt containers to hold blueberries. They add a string through two holes at the top of the container, and you just wear it around your neck or shoulder! It's also...
This is one of my most favorite summertime recipes, and one of the most memorable dishes I had in Italy. For me, to get the taste closest to what I remember, I like to fry some eggplant and add th...
When I head back to CT I am always sure to stock up on Hummel's hot dogs (funny enough, seems I am not the only picky hot dog eater here!) and sometimes I'll bring back leftover New Haven pizza, us...
cara_mia got it right with Salumeria Italiana! Also for to-go food, Galleria Umberto on Hanover is a must. If you've eaten pizza in Italy, New York, or even New Haven...please, please, do not bot...
If you buy them often enough, save the crumbs up for using in a larger recipe, like coating for chicken or fish. As a caterer, we used to make a fantastic savory southwestern cheesecake with a tor...
I just hope that some of the pizzerias north of Connecticut are reading this...if they could only learn to not cook their sauce, I think I could actually go out for pizza some time!
Last year I took care of my neighbor's garden while they were away. It was right when their tomatoes and zucchini were ripening, so I knew those things had to be picked. I made sauce (to freeze) ...
Pasta with homemade sauce and meatballs (there's usually a batch in the freezer)! Then, if the food was great where we were, I'll spend the week trying to recreate the food we enjoyed while we wer...
Magic Hat's WACKO definitely! Smuttynose: Star Island Single is a summer special by them...a bit spicy but good. I do like the Sierra Nevada Summer Lager, and my husband prefers the Magic Hat Cir...

Fried cauliflower fritters!

I was deciding between Gourmet and BA...now I don't have to choose, though it makes me nervous to commit to any magazine subscriptions these days!

Definitely a Hummel's dog (made in New Haven). Burnt, with mustard. I really can't eat any other dog!
