Seriously? Work on the dining table and during the day, then put the lamp on the floor - and this merits a blog post? I have been doing this (out of necessity) for a long, long time Office Table by Day, Dining Table by Night Sunset Flag this comment	2/12/12 5:40 AM
Nature's MSG :) seriously... parmesan is full of natural glutamate - and the boiling helps leach these out of the rinds into the stock - wonderful umami! Soup Base Recipe: Parmesan Stock The Cheesemonger Flag this comment	2/12/12 5:21 AM
It's been said already, but I can recommend the tim tam slam too. It's more of a ritual, but it's fun, tastes pretty cool, and is super for conversation-starting with locals!! What Are Must-Try Australian Foods? Good Questions Flag this comment	1/28/12 5:07 AM

blue kitchen to me reeks of little cottage in the hills. it would be stocked with clashing colors of alls sorts. I'm a black kitchen kinda person. Base of black and then bring colors in with accessories, wall hangings, cookbooks and appliances (though, my Kitchenaid is black...) Granite/stone work surfaces. Timeless.

Canned chicken breast? Does that exist? Sounds revolting anyway. Back to the recipe: looks good, though with so many ingredients, I'll have to test its hands-on-ness :) Quick Recipe: Chicken & Tomato No-Boil Pasta Bake Flag this comment	10/12/11 11:14 AM

Tip 5 is basically "don't shoplift". Anyone who does this should be ashamed (and punished) - any "good" they feel they are doing by shopp(lift)ing organic is worthless. Danny Seo's 5 Tips for Saving Money at the Organic Grocery Expert Interview Flag this comment	9/14/11 12:27 PM
In Europe, there's a choice: salted stock cubes, a jar of concentrated fond, or make your own. Not a one-litre carton in sight. I like to make, but there is one brand of "cube" (more of a hard paste) that I trust, as time can be of the essence. Make or Buy? Chicken Stock Flag this comment	9/12/11 4:18 PM
I'm not sure I fancy soggy limp petals floating around my drink once the ice has melted. nice photography, but I'm sure they won't be so pretty in real life :-/ Dress Up Your Drinks: Fruit, Herb & Flower Ice Cubes Flag this comment	8/14/11 9:55 AM
Has everyone read the article? The use by the author of the word "putrid" is sensationalist. A foamy scum does not indicate bacterial contamination. It's just some chemistry going on.

Bacon is more of an internet trend or meme, than a food trend. Similar to what goes viral on the web, you just cannot predict future food trends.

I had to laugh at your suggestion to use a spoon instead of measuring spoons. but maybe I should just laugh at the people who have to be told this. Improv Cooking: When Your Vacation Kitchen Lacks Tools Flag this comment	7/10/11 8:56 AM
I thought I would never get magnetic circular ones. When I did, I hated them. My fridge caught a lot of sun and I their reasonably large surface area left me with a load of faded green herbs. Also, there was workspace over my fridge so the spice jars inevitably caught flour, sugar - whatever.

for every internet user who's following the no-knead bread meme, there's dozens of home cooks who gladly knead their own bread day after day. I think this automatic comparison with a "trendy bread" was a little flawed. Though, I would still advocate making one's own bread - I have never minded getting my hands (or stand mixer, when I'm at my parents') dirty and making bread as it's been made for generations. No knead bread is a messy, long process which reaps good, but not great results. Play with several real recipes, and experiment with different raising agents and you'll be laughing. Make or Buy?
