Love love love!!!

Thanks for the clarification, @caelisan! Now I want to try this fish!

What a great idea!

what beautiful photos!

As someone who decided to live without a microwave and heated things up on the stove instead, here's a tip: usually you can add a little water to the food to prevent it from scorching on the bottom and to better conduct heat. The water will have evaporated by the time the food is heated up enough so you don't have to worry too much about a watery texture.

I think a good test of whether you are loved is whether someone would be willing to do this sort of extraordinary thing for you.

I thought this sandwich was pretty good--I tried it back when Sarah Gim (of TasteSpotting fame) posted it earlier last year. Joy the Baker and BS in the Kitchen also made these in March and May of 2012 respectively I believe, even before Sarah did.

I have a feeling that finding a proper stump for your decor is harder than it looks. Doesn't the stump have to be kiln dried first?

This seems to illustrate the idea that when a food tries to approximate a more appealing food, we eat tons of it but end up dissatisfied so that we end up indulging in (maybe even bingeing on?) the more appealing food in the end. I wonder how many people eat this stuff and then wind up making a late-night run to the store for a tube of real cookie dough.

I don't massage with my hands. Instead I use a big rubber spatula to do the job and it works great because the rubber acts kind like fingertips. I'm sure it takes a bit longer but I never liked the idea of handling food that much with hands when it's to be eaten raw.
