tstockto: it's in the cart pod at SW Alder and 9th. It's at the other end of the lot, though; closer to Powell's Books than to the Max. They have a big sign that says "mini donuts." They kind of reminded me of a churro. Street Food Inspiration: Vietnamese Sesame Donuts Flag this comment	3/17/11 3:52 PM

In Roast Figs, Sugar Snow, there is a yummy-looking recipe for pickled prunes...I think she suggests serving it with pork belly and pickled cucumbers. (Recipes for those are also in the book.) Looking for Savory Recipes with Prunes Good Questions Flag this comment	12/3/10 4:30 PM
Most blender blades fit a standard Mason jar mouth. I use this most for salad dressing: put my ingredients in the jar, screw the chopper on the top of the jar, used the blender motor to emulsify, and then serve and store in the jar. Easy-peasy. And I don't have to clean the whole big blender pitcher for every little batch of salad dressing. The Many, Many Uses of the Simple Mason Jar Flag this comment	10/27/10 7:18 PM
Last time I had some spare cilantro, I made the salsa verde you guys had on here: cilantro, garlic, salt, olive oil. Then I froze it, since I didn't have an immediate need for it. Leftover Cilantro? Quick Ways to Use It Before it Goes Bad Flag this comment	9/16/10 3:57 PM
@ohhelloelle: If it is the kind of knob that is screwed into the top, you could probably replace it with a drawer pull from a hardware store. If you get a metal one, it will even make your pot more oven-safe. Chipped Enamel: Need to Replace This Cookware? Flag this comment	8/26/10 7:47 PM
@phoxx: My boyfriend is from Brazil, and as he pronounces it as "fay-zhoo-AH-da" with the "zhoo" sounding like "jew" but with a softer J. But it may vary by region. A Taste of Brazil: 8 Recipes for a Brazilian Dinner Party \| Apartment Therapy The Kitchn Flag this comment	7/23/10 8:00 PM
I had a GREAT float at the Sugar Cube food cart in Portland: Morello cherry puree mixed with ginger ale, and home-made tahitian vanilla ice cream. Yum! Cherry Lambic Ice Cream Float \| Apartment Therapy The Kitchn Flag this comment	7/22/10 1:24 PM
things I have learned to like: olives, celery, yogurt, cream cheese, goat cheese, salmon, beer (but only if it is very light), cheesecake things I still do not like: carrots, sushi with raw fish (veggie sushi is fine), papaya, cottage cheese What Foods Have You Tried To Like, But Just Can't?! \| Apartment Therapy The Kitchn Flag this comment	6/15/10 1:11 PM
Really yummy Rosemary-Lemon cocktail: Make a simple syrup, but replace the water with lemon juice, and add a large sprig of rosemary to the pot while it is cooking. Once the syrup is done, cool it, and take out the rosemary. Combine syrup, vodka, and club soda (I play around with the proportions). Pour over ice and garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs.

You could make brownies-in-a-mug in a slow cooker, but I guess those might be hard to come by in Thailand. Can I Make Brownies on the Grill or Stovetop? Good Questions \| Apartment Therapy The Kitchn Flag this comment	6/3/10 5:35 PM

Thanks for this! So helpful...I just got the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day book, and I've been kind of afraid to try it, because, well...they're all, "It's easy, no kneading! You only have to shape the dough into a ball!" and I am terrified of that step. (I had a very bad experience with some brioche dough...otherwise known as the dough that tried to swallow my arm.) Question, though: at one point while you are shaping, there seems to be a cut. So about how long does this process actually take, to go from loose to taut?

I recently made pumpkin cheddar grits in my slow cooker. Not super light, but verrry tasty. I had to make do with roasted squash, but I think a can of pureed pumpkin would be easier.

If you are not making very much whipped cream, you can use an egg beater and a measuring cup. This would be a fun kitchen task for kids to help with! I also use my egg beater for whipping egg whites.
