dijon mustard ought to do the trick! and a little bit of worcestershire

YUM i love aria and that mac n cheese is to die for...

sticking w/ the cajun theme of the jambalaya and gumbo recipes suggested above: red beans and rice. delicious, and can't get any cheaper than that!

i roll out crescent roll dough, spread the boursin on it, sprinkle on some chopped spinach, roll it up and cut it into little pinwheels. bake as crescent roll dough directs, and it's a great little appetizer--always a hit at parties!

a fried oyster po boy dressed from domelise's in new orleans. hands down! best bread ever.

precooked polenta?! my world has just been rocked.

brussels sprouts need to be cooked right before, but you can get all the chopping and prep done ahead of time, store it in gallon-size ziplocs and it will make it come together much quicker!

ditto to the above: white subway tiles! my nyc apt kitchen was just renovated and i absolutely love the subway tile backsplash. it's a nice neutral that will be appealing to many potential buyers, as opposed to a distinct or bright color scheme that has narrower appeal

great apt! i'd love any tips on how one keeps white bedding so white while living in nyc. my white bedding always gets so dingy :(

this actually isn't new--wal mart has been doing this for some time now. think i read an article awhile back that said something like 1% of total produce supply comes locally grown. obviously small change in the big picture, but 1% of supply for a $400 billion a year company is actually quite significant.

because it's a powerhouse, wal mart has the ability to make a big change while only eating into a small portion of its profits, thus keeping shareholders happy. let's just hope the trend continues
