Barbecue: Smoked Cheddar and Jalapeño Sausage

revolted? really? what is revolting about cheese in sausage? i can think of a lot of revolting food things, but cheese in sausage isn't one of them.

50+ baked potatoes

i see someone recommended potato dumplings. any recipes out there? my grandmother, who was czech (she always used to say her mother was "bohemian") used to make them and serve them with roasted pork studded with garlic, sauerkraut (that she made every fall and put up in mason jars then stewed with pork ribs), and brown gravy made from the pork drippings, and i regret never having learned how she made the dumplings. i've tried a few times, but it's always been a failure.

Meat Lite: Eggplant, Tomato, and Pepper Casserole

i am intrigued because i dislike bell peppers, finding they take over anything you put them in, and stay away from eggplant, even though i like it, because it makes my mouth tingle unpleasantly.

Cook the Book: Spaghetti alla Carbonara

i used this recipe last friday, and felt something was missing. i think the pancetta i used (finding guanciale here in houston would have probably been an all-day project, if you could find it at all) was not the best quality, and next time i am going to get some from the italian import place down the road.

Pot-Roasted Brisket

i had the same question about the pan. i was trying to figure out what kind of pan would handle four pounds of onions and eight to ten pounds of meat.

Macaroni Soup with Ham for Breakfast in Hong Kong

this looks like a great breakfast to me, especially since i completely lack a sweet tooth and don't ever crave sweet breakfast options. of course, i am not one to be constrained by the idea of having to eat breakfast food for breakfast. i pretty much eat what i want when i want.

Serious Heat: Silky, Spicy Mole Sauce

@cary, i bet you could freeze it. if you only need a bit, use that old standby the ice cube tray to freeze small portions.

Serious Heat: Silky, Spicy Mole Sauce

dumb question: how do i use it once i make it? is it just used to sauce things, or do you actually cook things in it?

Seriously Meatless: Devilishly Handsome Eggs with Smoked Paprika

instead of cutting my eggs lengthwise when making deviled eggs, i have now taken to cutting them widthwise (is that a word). i then take a little slice out of the bottom, and they stand up very nicely on a plate. i guess this can be a problem when the yolk ends up cooking too far off center, but they look really cute. can't wait to try your recipe.

Serious Cocktails: The Cocktail Bucket List Meme

glad to see anvil getting some props! if any of you are in houston, make sure you stop by--i've been a couple of times, and it's always been great. they actually limit the number of people they let in at any one time to keep it from getting too crowded so they don't have to compromise the quality of the drinks. it is a great place for happy hour.

Mario Batali's Jarred Pasta Sauces

look, we all know that it is relatively easy and cheaper to make your own, but sometimes, you just want to open a jar of sauce. these kinds of reviews are helpful for that reason, and those of us who do don't need to be dressed down by those of you who would never let jarred sauce touch your lips. i love the serious eats community, but sometimes the condescending and superior attitude of those who are organized enough to make sauce and keep it in the freezer and look down on me because i don't makes me crazy. if you are not interested in jarred sauce, don't read the post. if i want a recipe for sauce, which i don't because i have one and am perfectly capable of using it, i will ask for it.

one question--what do you mean by unsmoked bacon? will the package be labeled "unsmoked"?

Mixed Review: Bisquick Shake 'n' Pour Pancakes

okay, i don't take issue with using the mix (i think you all know how it annoys me when people rail at this feature for using a mix, when the point of this feature is to review mixes), but the one-time use of the bottle seems super wasteful to even me, who is hardly what i would call a dedicated recycler. surely the same mix comes in a box from which you can make multiple batches using a bowl and a spoon to mix it. my two cents.
