Five Easter Treats, Rated in NOMs by a Candy-Loving Confectioner

Jellybeans! I am not picky about what kind, or flavor (as long as they're not the spice variety), but I love Easter because it's officially jelly bean season. I'll even eat the licorice flavored black ones.

In Season: Mangoes

The first time I've ever had a mango was on the beach in mexico, where we bought them on a stick, peeled and sliced like a flower, then covered in chili powder and salt. Amazing.

What's The Best Sandwich You've Ever Had?

The Red Stripe grilled cheese at Red Stripe in Providence, RI: Thick slices of bread, with proscuitto, pear, and basil, grilled to deliciousness. Yum yum yum.

Generic choices: Bhan Mi, Tortas, Cubans...

I'm a huge sandwich fan, though. It's hard for me to judge.

Technique of the Week: How to Cream Butter and Sugar

SeattleRadChick - I thought the same thing! It looks so close to perfect raw cookie dough, I was tempted to reach my finger out to try some.

Serious Beer: Now in Cans

Papago Brewing in Scottsdale, AZ also has a great canned beer. I just can't remember the darn name of it.

Why do I love pizza so much?!?

I could eat pizza for every meal and probably never get tired of it. I'd miss other foods, but that would be the sacrifice that I'd have to make.

Phoenix: Impossibly Airy, Amazingly Awesome Pancakes at Matt's Big Breakfast

I think us Phoenicians need to compile yet another list of amazing places to go around here. I'm always looking for new restaurants to visit. My recommendation: The Orange Table in Scottsdale. They have jalapeno pancakes!

Are you an 'everything but the bird' or a 'turkey' person?

Stuffing stuffing and more stuffing! I think it's because I really only get to eat it a few times a year (Stovetop doesn't come close!), so I like to fill up on that. I'll eat a little bit of everything, but stuffing is the only thing on the plate that I truly love.

I always have to order...

I'm with Stripey - ALWAYS a Caesar Salad. I think it says a lot about the restaurant.

Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain

Bourdain! He looks like he was one of the bad kids, while Colicchio looks far too wholesome for my taste.

Starbucks Has New Lids! And They're Bad!

They are actually reformatting the new lids so that this doesn't happen. Ask for a bigger straw until this happens and it won't get smooshed.

Reviewed: New Hershey's Kisses Pumpkin Spice

I wish that they sold smaller bags of Kisses. I'd like to try all of these different flavors, but not enough to buy a big bag full of them...

'Why Does Sonic Advertise on TV When There's No Sonic Near Me?'

@ megannesta: Don't be so disheartened. I'm a former Rhode Islander living in Arizona which is a newish market for DD. I've been to a few of the Dunks out here and it's just... not the same. Sigh.

I miss my giant iced coffee and cheap bagel sandwiches....

Can Bananas be a Diet Food?

Uhm... what? Bananas are great for diets. You get your fruit serving and some fiber all rolled into one!

Bananas =/= Peanut Butter.

Morning Cocktails, When 'Rise and Shine' Meets 'Bottoms Up!'

Bloody mary made with tomato juice AND v-8, vodka (natch), lots of hot sauce, lots of pepper, horseradish, and garlic or jalapeno stuffed green olives.

I like it spicy!

Norwegian Brunost (Brown Cheese) and Apples

When I saw this picture, I thought it was a chunk of solid peanut butter that you could slice. I'm a little disappointed now.

Appliance Skins?

Threadless actually made some wall decals with contact paper. They made stencils and then cut the pattern out of colored contact paper. You could probably do the same...
