Serious Eats - seriouseats.com

Every year when my mom went to the local butcher for Easter lamb, she would return with two heads, as well. While I've tasted brains (and they are delicious), I've never cared to even be present while she devoured the rest of the head. The eyeballs rolling around on a plate were a complete turn off.

Wow! I've been following SE for a few years now. Maybe I'm dense or not that "serious" but I peruse the site, read what interests me, and actually click the "print" icon to e-mail articles to my family. I don't comment a lot, nor do I read them that often. I enjoy the site, but don't feel a need to constantly comment (not quite a pun, but close.) Maybe I should listen up more, but I've always appreciated the effort that went into this blog, the fact that many of the writers are not experts, possibly not even "foodies", but people who enjoy food and eating, the pleasure of company, and letting other people in on their secrets.

I do feel deleting comments is not the way to go. Everyone has a right to expression. I think the best way to go is to ignore those people totally. Don't even acknowledge their existence, it just adds fuel to the fire.

Love the show. Love the students and relate to them, and I love Novelli, his accent, ego, and wackiness. It's lighthearted, and does not make me angry like Top Chef. I've seen them all, and subscribed to it on iTunes before returning to Cairo. Great recap. Glad other people like it too. I too have learned a few tricks / tips while watching.

Ooops! Maybe it was Dixie Chili that they sold at the airport. Still, Empress is the best.

I use a MAC and iPhoto, and am currently working on a cookbook for my kids. I can save PDFs to iPhoto and crop them as I please. I also like the fact that I can copy / scan recipes that I like from Julia Child and others, that are really not mine, but ones the family loves. iPhoto has book formats you can choose from, for a variety of looks and they can come hard-bound, spiral, or soft in different sizes. I like the fact that I can post a photo of my mom or mother-in-law in the kitchen, with a recipe on the opposite page. Last year I made Christmas Cards and a calendar using it, and the quality is excellent. After checking Blurb's pricing, I found iPhoto / Apple was comparable, if not cheaper.
