My favorite kind of sauce is red pepper cream sauce. It is sooooooooo good, I just love it!

This would definitely have to be chocolate flourless cake. Not the kind that's molten or gooey in the middle. The kind that is heavy on the tongue, but it's the most delightfully rich thing I have ever tasted. Go to the french restaurant at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. Order theirs. It's heavenly.

@barbara_flay - I like to buy peeps just so I can put them in the microwave and watch them blow up. Try it sometime, you'll feel like you're getting even with them for how disgustingly marshmallowy and sugary they are!

I'm really weird about funky flavors coming into food where they should not be. If it was me, I would have thrown the whole entire pound out, too. Yuck!!! Soap? That's horrible. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Oh avideater, I plan on it. TONIGHT.

mepolo- I am the one who started the Trader Joe's thread. I'm not going to apologize, though, because I AM new to Serious Eats, and who gives a crap if I post something that was covered over a year ago? If you don't like it, ignore it. But it's not like the same people are posting the same things every time. I have actually learned quite a lot of new things from the people who wrote a response, and I think that is more than enough reason to post, even if it is a repeat.

Wow, It's amazing how many things you miss that other people find. Didn't know about the baguettes, either avideater! And @brownie, I tried the fire roasted frozen corn once, one person mentioned it tasted like licking an ash tray, and now I can't get the idea out of my head. If not for that person, I would still be buying the darn stuff!

@cybercita The NY Times article you linked is about the peppery quality of Shiraz wine, not about white pepper at all. Confused. . .

@sailordave - I like how you think. Thanks for typing it so I don't have to.

Those bastards over at The Food Network ripped off Adam's pilot idea he had for the finale of TNFNS. Ask Aida? I watched that crap. . .really? It was ridiculous. I am so close to writing off The Food Network for awhile. I'll just blog instead of watching crappy, cranked out food shows. I don't think I will watch Adam's new show in September. If there's no cooking, I don't watch. Too bad. . .

That's a perfect sister gift. I would feel very loved if I got those from my sister.

This is horrifying. Top Chef fans HAVE to spread the word about the show or we're never going to get it right. Top Chef kills TNFNS. Even though I watched TNFNS, I won't do it again because it was so disappointing. It was the first season I watched, and really, it just falls short of Top Chef. And don't even get me started on Hell's Kitchen. . .

An apron is on my list of things I want for the kitche, yet do not have. I want to get a really fancy one and cover it in flour but I use it the first time, so it doesn't look new. Maybe a ridiculously expensive Haute Hostess apron. . .
