We often go to Comfort Diner (45th between 2nd & 3rd) on lazy weekends and their eggs and pancakes are great.

Seriously Asian: The Magic of Miso Marination

I recently tried miso marinated broiled black cod and it was amazing. I was skeptical at first about the miso flavor and its pungent taste but I was won over as I discovered the syrupy sweetness that is left upon marination with the mirin and miso.
:-)
Good stuff!

Sugar Rush: Tomato-Watermelon Custard at Shake Shack

I tried the watermelon tomato today and it was really good - not too sweet like strawberry and I definitely got watermelon and not sure about the tomato though.

Jamba Juice's New California Flatbreads: We Ate Them So You Don't Have To

These remind me of the wholesale pizza crusts that my Mom used to get from Sam's Club when we were kids and would whip up some interesting pizza creations which definitely looked tastier than these! Though they all shared that holey bottom of a pizza crust which would amuse me for hours.....

Costco Is Selling French Winter Black Truffles

It doesn't seem to be featured on the Costco website anymore. Is this an in-store-only special?

P.S. I think Costco is a 100x better than Walmart's Sam's club.

Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'

Mark Bittman has inspired me to experiment with different flavor combinations and prefer fresh, wholesome ingredients. He has also taught me that not all shortcuts are the best and to plan ahead so that you don't have to resort to the unhealthy processed and "easy" foods. Using those tenets have helped broaden the scope of foods in my diet and also decreased the amount of junk foods I consume. Bittman has made me crave healthier and tastier food! :-)

Cook the Book: Chocolate Semolina Pudding with Raspberry Puree

Ooh! This is actually very similar to an indian dessert called kesari, which is a semolina based sweet that is soft in consistency but flavored with saffron and camphor.

New Jersey Dispatch: Patel Brothers Supermarket

This shop was one of the things I really missed when moving from NJ to NYC. My favorite part of the shop is the fresh in-season fruits (lychees, mangos, guavas, chickoos, sitafals, green peanuts) that are usually featured in the front. My 2nd favorite part of the shop is the numerous types of lentils and dals - its inspired me to experiment with different dals, soups & sambhars. And finally, they usually have the lowest priced milk and yogurt in the area.

Take me back to NJ!!

Sugar Rush: Sun Mary Bakery’s Steroidal Chocolate Cream Puff

it looks like a choux! i bumped into the choux factory on 48th and 1st and i've been smitten by those cream filled pastries. though i have to admit the choux was stuffed with more custardy/pudding type fillings instead of the one here.

Sugar Rush: Ovaltine from Chinatown

I love ovaltine and horlicks. My favorite is Bournvita - its tastier than the
"chocolate ovaltine". I've seen the ovalmaltine bars in the Indian stores!! SO yum!
