Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'

Actually, pimento cheese. I like to put it on toast under the broiler.

Expresso vs Espresso: A pro-Expresso Rant

Why wouldn't we judge someone as lazy when they choose to mispronounce a word like espresso (assuming, of course, that at least one person at FN can pronounce it and correct the offender)? Given the whole new attitude that Food Network portrays, it wouldn't be a stretch for me to believe that Sandra Lee mispronounces it on purpose to seem more folksy.

I wouldn't judge someone as stupid for not knowing how to pronounce a word the first time they see it, but if you're corrected and you don't even TRY to correct yourself, why can't I judge you as lazy?

Cook the Book: 'The Barcelona Cookbook'

La Gamba Dorada in Cordoba. We just had a table full of wonderful (mostly) fried seafood and tinto de verano. Yum!

Cook the Book: The Essence of Chocolate

I made Martha's triple chocolate mousse cake for my best friend's birthday a couple years back, and it was a-mazing. People are still talking about it. A bit of hard work, since this was before I had any nice equipment, but worth it.

Eat For Eight Bucks: Paprika-Braised Chicken with Chickpea Puree and Crispy Shallots

I am un-lurking to tell you how much I enjoyed this recipe! It was great! I substituted bacon for salt pork and added the whole package of spinach instead of half (I wanted to increase the veggie-to-chicken ratio). I also made a roux with the bacon fat in the pan, since I didn't have corn starch.

I'm assuming seasoned flour means salt and pepper? I put in hot smoked paprika into the mix, which was yummy. I was a bit timid about it this time, but next time I'll put in more. I used sweet smoked paprika for the broth mixture.

So yeah, a lot of changes, I suppose, but still a wonderful recipe.
