I still hear 'sours' at Saul's in Berkeley, CA. Actually they sell and serve 'sours' and 'half sours'. Milk Sociable, Chestnutting, and Sours: Food Words Deleted From the Dictionary |

This feels so wrong. Chocolate is as much about texture and mouthfeel as it is about the flavor. The whole experience of eating chocolate is the feel of it as it melts and coats you tongue. A chocolate that doesn't melt at body temp isn't going to be the same experience. You might as well be eating plastic. Cadbury Invents a Non-Melting Chocolate Food News |

I have several pairs of coco wood chopsticks that were relatively inexpensive, ~$4/pair. They're pretty, unlacquered, sturdy. Any Recommendations for Good Quality Chopsticks? Good Questions |

I make marshmallows for holiday care packages. It seems to have become a tradition now (3 years in) and people automatically expect it. I think this year I'll also make caramel popcorn or something along that vein. What Homemade Gifts Are You Making This Holiday Season? |

I have a jar of Trader Joe's Speculoos spread at my desk. I eat it by the spoonful. Haven't tried it in baked goods yet, but it's only a matter of time. The New Nutella: 5 Speculoos Desserts |

I'm waiting for everyone to "discover" Vietnamese Bun Bo Hue, which is a spicy beef noodle soup. It's fantastic for cold weather (though good year round for me). Pho and Beyond: 10 Comforting Asian Noodle Soups |

Try the rind of parm reg cheese for the richness. If you want it a little smoky, add a little bit of liquid smoke. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Recipe: Cuban Black Bean Soup |

Jamie Oliver's pumpkin sage soup with homemade parmesan toast/croutons. Not the exact name that he gave it, but that's what it is. Delicious and easy to make. Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese: What Are the Very Best Soup & Sandwich Combos? |

Coming from a Viet background, my mother always left soup on the stove overnight. She always instructed me to bring any soup to a boil, turn off the heat, and leave it alone, no stirring. After boil, you could cover it and leave out overnight. It did have to be reboiled every day. In hot weather, the cooled soup went into the fridge. Since none of us (there were 7 kids) ever got sick from her food, I'm not bothered by food leftout overnight. Once something is cooked to well done, I don't worry if it's left out overnight.

lazy_lurker, I think you are correct. I've been on the Left Coast for about 10 years now and I have yet to find a good cider. I think it's because people tend to pasteurize the heck out of juices here due to a scare about 15 years ago or so. Boy do I mix autumn with fresh cake donuts and apple cider. SIGH.

For me, pizza is about a balance of all the stuff that you like. So a big pizza turn-off is too much of any one pizza component. The biggest one is too much cheese. Closely followed by too much sauce. What Will Ruin a Pizza For You? |
