church's uses lots of weird miscellaneous parts; jane tavern in west village should fit the bill for fancypants, what with its white linen, but its been on their menu for a long time so its not new. junior's fried chicken is big but unfortunately not good. i had a hunch that redhead would be the best and dying to try it sometime.

sorry to be a hater here, but what is the big deal about bentos or bento-style, specifically for the original poster? aside from the people who go crazy with the sculpting like Anna the Red [http://www.annathered.com/] I don't see how this is so crazy different from packing leftovers or doing multiple courses in multiple containers, unless you are just used to eating sandwiches or hot dogs for lunch. to me, bentos are just like any other meal except packed up. to address listener's original caveats about portion control, grocery and kitchen appliances, and dorm cooking, none of that is specific to bentos and you could do just as well looking up dorm-room-cooking (grab items from the salad bars and steam them with your microwave for instance, or better yet, get a rice cooker! you don't have to cook rice in it and it can make all kinds of food [http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/445483/]). I just don't understand how it is seen as something so different when it's just a plain old box lunch.

awesome. congrads joey!

use this with valencia juice oranges for mexican-style oranges sold 3 or 4 to a bag.

if you are cooking MM or clarifying, try this: bring a small stockpot of water to a boil, add about 3 tablespoons butter; make sure it is a rolling boil and add the MM. the THC bonds to the butter, the water makes sure it all gets cooked out and the rest of the MM just gets cooked out and falls to the bottom. after 15 minutes, remove from heat, throw the whole thing in the fridge; the next day you can skim (or rather, remove the slab of MM butter) and discard the rest. no need to strain, no need to fry up MM.

pierogies are not good at veselka.

it's like mrs. dash, goya sazon, many of those seasonings; packs a punch, that accent! and not to turn this into an MSG-thread but some info here regarding MSG and it's other forms:

gangster post; you show 'em!

does this go under the offal section for "non-meat" recipes?

but then when someone later commented on the "natural" cereal, kellogg's wasn't there. that's bad.

that innocuous salt on the tables is MSG salt!

they were selling it for $3 a pound on mulberry and canal, the SE corner. they didn't have the picked containers though, $2.50 is not a bad price at all but I love getting the whole fruit, I saw it in jackson heights for only $2 a pound but getting a whole one is a monster. if you pick out the yellow fruit (not sure you'd really want to eat the seed) you can also cut out and eat the fibers in between the pods in a savory curry or stir-fry; great texture like enokie but a lot more durable; delicious.

don't forget the chorus of Thriller: "You're a vegetable! You're a vegetable!"? huh?
