Cook the Book: '100 Best Vegetarian Recipes'
Homemade tomato sauce over rice.
Cook the Book: 'Rustic Fruit Desserts'
A Belgian-style waffle with fresh strawberries and vanilla ice cream.
What Foods Would You Fight For?
I would say matcha powder. Proper green tea made with matcha powder seems to be so misunderstood in the United States. I work in a Starbucks, and nearly all of my coworkers hate the taste of it! (Perhaps because it makes a mess when trying to scoop it out into a cup.)

Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'
There is no other perfect flavor combination in my mind than bacon and a sip of milk. Take that, vegetables!

If you had a food cart/truck...
Toast! All kinds of toast with jam, peanut butter, eggs, nutella, anything!
Kinda similar to crepes, I suppose.
Serious Cocktails: A Sour Subject
Sour mix makes me vomit. (Literally. I had a frozen margarita with too much sour mix one evening and barfed my guts out later in the night!)
I never thought of trying citrus juice with simple syrup. I bet it would be a lot easier on my tummy.
Banning fast food near schools? Your take.
I wholeheartedly agree with focusing on making school cafeteria food better first, then worrying about how close or far the fast food joints are.
What difference will 1/10th of a mile make, anyway? My friends and I just hopped in our cars when we wanted junk food. Or walked across the street to the office building that had a Chinese buffet. Or around the corner to the grocery store to get snacks, sodas, anything.
Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'
Spicy marinara sauce. I add an Anaheim pepper to the tomatoes. Very tasty!
What Do You Like to Read When Eating Solo?
One of the best memories I have with reading and food was in the student union building in college. They had a Chick Fillet there. Once a week, I would get nuggets, fries, and chocolate milk for lunch. I remember reading Memoirs of a Geisha while enjoying my food, and since then I always recall the taste of greasy, salty, chocolatey goodness whenever thinking of that story.
What time do you eat dinner?
Late for me. I wait til my husband comes home from the hospital night shift, around 11:45pm if we want to eat together!
What did you end up eating or serving for the Super Bowl?
A friend from Buffalo, NY was in town, so she whipped a few local treat: chicken finger subs slathered with bleu cheese spread. Yummy!
Grilling: Stuffed Jalapeños
*psst* I think you mean "The procedure could hardly be more simple" instead of "simply"
Mystery Meat Regularly Turning Up in Park; No One Knows Why
Maybe someone is sending a message to "meat" under the tree? Get it? MEET?!
*cough*
Chewing the Fat: Alton Brown on Hospitality
I'll feed you, Alton!
'New Yorker' Turkey Cartoon Caption Contest
"I wish my hands were as small as a turkey's leg bones....oh wait."
Filet Mignon vs. Skirt Steak: Which is Better?
A big part of why I stopped eating red meat stemmed from fear of it as a kid. It was always prepared for me in thick, rubbery, flavorless chunks. I never liked it.
But then I had a bite of my husband's skirt steak...and it was pretty good! It might be time to expand my horizons.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Asian Dining Rules'
Well, this wasn't really at a restaurant, but I had a silly experience with a drink from a vending machine in Japan. It was a brightly colored purple box, leading me to assume the beverage was grape juice. I paid my 350 yen, and down plunked the drink. Eagerly, I stuck the straw in the top and took a sip, anticipating the sweet thirst-quenching slurp of juice...
...When out came this gooey, gelatin, grape jelly juice thing! I swear, it was like grape jelly in a box that you drank through a straw! I started laughing, and shared the mystery goo cooler with my friends. Serves me right for not learning more Japanese before my trip!
Lebanon Sues Israel Over Falafel Rights
India sues Trader Joe's for frozen naan.
In Videos: Package of Bacon Forces Evacuation of Boehner's Office
But don't you see?! It was EXPLOSIVE TERRORIST BACON!
No Turkey For Me!
My husband's family made Chilean Sea Bass one year. It was tasty!
I remember one episode of "Deadliest Catch" where one of the crew members held up a crab and said, "Imagine this on your Thanksgiving table!" Can you picture a whole Alaskan king crab for Thanksgiving? How awesome would that be!
In Videos: Surrealist Artist Jan Svankmajer's 'Breakfast'
Jan! I just did a huge research project involving his film, Faust. One of the motifs is closeups of disgusting-looking food and people chewing it. How funny to see another piece by him involving food!
In Season: Broccoli, and Cooking It Creatively
I kind of only like the stalks...
But my husband kind of only likes the florets, so it works out :)
Splenda Skirmish After Sugar Lobbyists Fund Study
I feel a good rule of thumb is everything in moderation, nothing to excess.
Though I do worry about the two regulars who ask for ten-Splenda lattes at the Starbucks where I work.
Photo of the Day: What Is This?
A flan?
Oh. Drat.
What to have with PB&J?
Cold glass of milk, a pickle, and Cape Cod chips. Maybe some carrot sticks as well.
How funny we all seem to prefer different chips!
