Ooops! Mea Culpa! I only read the excerpts from Grub Street, not the article (I didn't see the link right away). Myers has some VERY good points, I was way too quick to react. There is excess in "foodie" culture and I'm glad he's calling it out.

Really? An Anti-Foodie rant worth reading? I've always taken issue with the term "foodie", but this guy (B.R. Myers) portrays anyone who cares about what they eat or who puts eating in a philosophical context as a snob and a hypocrite. Lord knows what he thinks of M.F.K. Fisher (or Brillat-Savarin or Thomas Jefferson)!?!
Why is a passion for all things food so offensive? I see no such arguments against fashionistas or art groupies! Really?!!?!

I have the Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper 12" Everyday Pan with stainless steel lid (it was a wedding gift). I love it! It is the best pan ever. I use it for braising, quick cooking sauces, poaching, making the *perfect* grilled cheese sandwiches and even casseroles. I love the stovetop to oven to table functionality and I love that it has a lid. Even, Nigella recommends the Everyday Pan in "How to be a Domestic Goddess", p 140.

She talks a lot about eating junk food and processed food, she makes that food available to herself instead of healthy alternatives. If she quit buying cakes, ice cream, cookies, chips, chocolate, white bread (even the "artisianal" stuff) then she'd save a lot of money and eat better. Please, I have no sympathy for this woman.

I agree with Sleggo, the Filling Station (Westport or Union Hill) in Kansas City, Mo. has often produced espresso shots that gave me thrills! I'd advise making friends with your local barista, you will get amazing shots. Also, ask your barista if they have experience making shots in the "ristretto" style (it takes longer, its sweeter, its thicker and when done right it's an epiphany).

Relish trays can be awesome! The suggestions above are great. You could also model your relish tray after 'Bagna Cauda' like this one from Jamie Oliver http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/jamie-at-home/winter-crunch-salad-with-a-mind-blowing-sauce-recipe/index.html

It's really awesome!

When I was growing up my family ate together at every meal. Now my husband and only really eat together once a day. :(

I'd love to have both, but local and sustainable is my first priority. Certified organic comes second (it's still important to me). When I can find both in the same product, it's wonderful!

Yay! Spread the mustard green love! They are great braised or sauteed. I even like the mild varieties in salads.

Gas is the way to go!!! It has way more versatility. For totally even low heat get a Flame Tamer (or make one? Cool!) or "simmer plate" as someone above mentioned as well.

Eh, I have one. It's ok. Nothing to gush over, but I'm not really a juice lover. My Husband loves it, but he hates to clean it. :(
