A dictionary definition is probably all that is required (first hit on google dictionary): Meat is flesh taken from a dead animal that people cook and eat. Websters: the flesh of animals as used for food. By definition, eggs are not meat. Help Settle This Debate: Are Eggs Meat?

Formaggio Kitchen/South End Formaggio only passes as knowledgeable if you haven't been cheese shopping for a while. The throughput is modest, so it's hit or miss if you will ever get something truly ripe for eating--but don't worry, they'll sell it to you anyway. It's the best place in Boston, which is sad, since you can only gain a small understanding from their expertise. Assume that their choicest selections are much better at their best (elsewhere in the world) before you judge the poor little cheeses!

They aren't at all ruined, they are just hard to take care of, and they can look just like they used to. I've used copper for cooking exclusively for many years. Here is what I do to keep my pans looking good. It's a two-step process... a) Use Bar Keeper's Friend. It will get you 90% there quickly. You can find it online or in most cooking/grocery stores. b) When you want the original shine back, follow up step a) with a polishing with Wenol. You can find Wenol at cooking shops or online. Essentially you are cleaning and removing oxidation with a) and b) is just polishing. I have about a dozen copper pots and I do about one every week (that's a lot of labor, but I really love them) and they stay nice for a month or so. Make sure you keep them clean and dry and the finish will last longer. My copper is 10 years old and looks as good as new when I follow these steps. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn \| Help!
