Serious Eats: Chaoss's Profile

My thoughts on this, for what it's worth: If you have a question (or comment), anything at all, you should feel free to post it here with impunity. That, at it's core, is what this forum is all about. If you find the question "innane", move on to another thread and ignore...simple as that. Someone else, who doesn't mind answering (and believe me, those people are legion), will take it up and feel free to comment/respond.

Sound good to everyone? Good. Now, let's all move on...

Watching food shows for the chef, not the show.

I used to love the Two Fat Ladies...seriously...I'm not kidding.

Asking for "odd" amounts

I think you kind of come across as a douche, really. There, I said it. I mean, if this is what leaves you guys "flabbergasted", what do you do in the event of an actual crisis?

Down Home With The Neely's Dilemma!

Seriously?

Ina and Jeff?

Seriously?

Come on, guys. This is the problem with romance in America.

That is all.

Help.........need advice on making good fried chicken.

First and foremost, make sure you are using a cast iron skillet. Everything else is subjective.

True Confession is good for the Soul. My dilemma?

Why would you even get sushi if you didn't like rice?

There Will Be Pesto...

Spread it on your pizza dough before baking instead of traditional tomato-based pizza sauce. Top with mushrooms, black olives, a little (very little) mozarella to bind it together.

"I eat your pesto pizza! I eat it up!"
(see, I got your reference, there)

What do you love to cook, but can't stand to eat?

I can't stand eating the Thanksgiving turkey after I've made it. Once you've had your had up inside that thing, the bloom is off the rose, as far as I'm concerned.

And it looks so darned good, too.

What has been your proudest cooking moment?

I made a killer homemade chicken pot pie tonight. I'm pretty proud of that.

Midnight Munchies

I would have been so wired by the sugar and caffeine, I could never get to sleep after that! :D

Sometimes I wash them down with Coca Cola. I seem to be immune to the caffeine effects. I gotta stop, though, or my teeth are gonna rot out.

Popcorn! Cooked in peanut oil on the stove and sprinkled with salt and grated Parmesan cheese. This is my favorite late-night snack or sometimes even dinner.

This sound so good I might have to go get everything to make it right now!

I had ten mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups at 11:30pm. Is that wrong?

Food blogging camera. What do you use?

I'm not a food blogger, but the Digital Rebel is a great camera to start out with if you truly want control of your pics.

How to get a food blog read and noticed

Well, what you're doing right now is a start. She (and you, if you're helping her out with this...and it looks like you are) should also start commenting vociferously on other food blogs and/or forums. Get involved in the community, so to speak. Word of mouth then spreads fast.

The photography on her site (and I'm a little partial to photography, as I photo blog myself) is excellent, by the way. That alone will carry a lot of weight when people visit the site. Especially with the visual element that successful food blogging can entail. I also like the nice simple design/template she's using, but it could be punched up and personalized just a bit (just my two cents worth).
