Good Eats in Shanghai?
In addition to the xiao long bao (which I presume you'll be getting at Nanxiang), I would very, very highly suggest hitting up Yang's fry dumpling for smoe fried soup dumpling action. I was there last summer and those things blew my mind.
Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
Eggs, in various forms, usually. Either poached on top of polenta or some other grain, atop fried rice, or english muffins, or scrambled. Or I'll make myself a big-ass cheese plate.
Cook the Book: '100 Best Vegetarian Recipes'
This is hard! I love broccoli rabe with a bit of pasta, or sauteed oyster mushrooms in some butter and cream and a poached egg with some polenta or good bread, or huevos rancheros, or...i could go on forever.
Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer
I don't even remember, but now I can not imagine being without it...
My Week Without Corn
Jews who stick to a pretty strict Passover regimen do the corn-free challenge eight days a year. It is not. easy.
Serious Heat: Horseradish Heaven
I am definitely going to give this a try. I love raw beets - I make this salad compulsively. It's so good, and healthy enough that I can validate eating far more than any human being should in one sitting.
Cook the Book: 'Canal House Cooking, Vol. 1'
Fresh tomatoes sprinkled with sea salt, some fresh basil and any type of salty cheese, with some fresh baked bread and good buttter
Cook the Book: 'L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook'
The lamb vendor in union square (i don't remember the name...) has amazing merguez sausage

SE'er Food Blogs
My blog is here: Shelbs & Cheese
Since this is pretty much the best target audience, I have a question. My camera recently broke (making for significantly less awesome food-blogging). Can anybody recommend a (not-too-hardcore) camera for me? I'd prefer to stay away from the SLRs. Thanks!!
Cook the Book: 'Bottega Favorita' by Frank Stitt
Orrechiette with broccoli rabe and tons of garlic and red pepper flakes, sometimes with sausage, sometimes not
Delivery Showdown: Goodburger Versus Stand
The shoestring fries from Stand remain decent after delivery, since they're thinner and crispier to begin with I think the packaging has less of a detrimental steaming effect on them. I prefer regular belgian-type fries to shoestring in general, but the shoestring may be a better bet for delivery.
Sugar Rush: Momofuku Milk Bar's Arnold Palmer Cake
i want to go to there
Book Giveaway: 'Clean Plates NYC'
If we're not worried about price, I'm going Sushi Yasuda; if we are, bite or freefoods are better options, though less of sit-down experiences
Win Tickets to the Hot Dog Hootenanny
i have to go with new york style, grilled with sauerkraut and mustard
Any Recs for Great Ethiopian in NYC?
Queen of Sheba (Hells Kitchen area) is pretty good.
Question for Nutrition Conscious Serious Eaters
Nutritiondata.com has a recipe analyzer into which you can just put your recipe amounts, which it then analyzes and gives you caloric and nutritional information for the whole recipe, or per serving depending on how many you intend the recipe to serve. it's a pretty good tool, the ingredient lists leave a bit to be desired, but you can futz around on there and come up with different combinations to figure out how to get what you need out of the recipe.
