Cosigning for the Seattle AT meetup as a Seattle transplant from the very friendly and open city of Asheville, NC almost two years ago. Seattle is a hard city to make friends in, and for me it's only been the last six months or so that friendships have started to flourish. 10 Tried & True Tips: How to Make New Friends in a New City |

I just discovered this whole adding-chemicals-to-tasty-things today at a Taiwanese restaurant. I had garlic noodles that smelled strongly of ammonia. Turns out it was a flaw in the noodle-making, but not harmful. Revealed: The Secret to Making Soft Pretzels |

Now that I live around the corner from TJ's I'm actually taking the time to learn what's honestly a good bargain/value/tasty vs. what's novel. Andrea Lynn's 5 Favorite Products from Trader Joe's Cookbook Review of The I Love Trader Joe's College Cookbook by Andrea Lynn |

Mm, I love their hand soap - I've used the Lemon Verbena (!) and the Lavender. Really excited about the Honeysuckle. New Scents from Mrs. Meyers Best of Home Housewares 2010 | Apartment Therapy Chicago |

@YoJess Yep -- my mom always told me to use salted butter. It was only once I started cooking and baking more and reading cookbooks more thoroughly that I realized how much better UNsalted was. Then again, mom's a salt freak. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Good Question: What Can I Do With Unsalted Butter? |

I'm in the "buy vanilla beans on Ebay" camp and have been pleased thus far. I love to make Amanda Hesser's Vanilla Bean Loaves which uses a whole bean in the cake and another in the glaze. Also makes great vanilla sugar and we're experimenting with making vanilla extract from cheap vodka. Inexpensive vanilla beans open up a whole new world! Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Found!

Also -- I'd love to know more about how folks think that moths can get into airtight containers. To my knowledge the larvae are already in the food product somewhere. Again, I have not had a single problem since transferring all grains to airtight containers. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Good Question: Why Are There Bugs In My Storage Jars? |

I too had the pantry moth problem last summer -- I traced it back to a very old sack of flour hiding in the back of my cabinet. Since then I switched to buying only in bulk a small amount at a time and keeping items in airtight containers (I use square containers that I picked up at Target and glass ones from IKEA that seem to work well thus far).

Sounds delicious. Last week (at a lovely restaurant in Portland, OR) I tried strawberries paired with Roquefort mousse. Amazing. I don't often think of strawberries being paired with something on the savory side, but it worked really well. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | One More Topping for Strawberries The New York Times |

The Asheville City Market opened April 18, but I wasn't able to make it until the following week. So much beauty! Wonderful produce, vendors galore. Lots in season here in the south. I put together a little picture story of my adventure, which can be viewed here: Full (Gastronomic) Tilt. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Has Your Local Farmers' Market Opened Yet? |
