  1. My Irish husband has been telling me that the past few years Cork has been a popular destination for Germans on holiday, and that the restaurant biz is booming in that corner of Ireland. He also tells me that a lot of Japanese people are coming over to learn Irish. I'm guessing this confluence (plus fresh fish) could lead to some pretty tasty food. ----- Liza

    Basil

    I actually prefer watercress pesto! Much more subtle. ----- Liza

    Basil

    I love basil. And I love pesto. But there has got to be another way to enjoy this herb. Surely basil is not only for pesto or tomatoes and mozzarella? ----- Liza
  4. I just looked up foodsavers on cooking.com and there were quite sizes/prices to choose from. Which one do you have and/or recommend? ----- Liza
  5. My Irish husband suggests using only enough water to cover the potatoes. Also key is after draining, to place spuds back in the pot and dry them out. And I love a generous grating of aged Asiago, something very un-Irish but delicious. ----- Liza
  6. If we're here and discussing Iron Chef, then we're all atypical! A great big pat on the back to all. ----- Liza
  7. Once I got past the window-dressing, I found the Iron Chef shows very educational. I appreciate they way they often deconstruct ingredients, and they way they use more parts of it than most other chefs. That being said, I also find it great camp! ----- Liza
  8. They've approached some very serious chefs to be a part of this American version, which has been licensed through Fuji TV, the owners of the original Iron Chef series. I've heard the lineup is still up in the air but know that quite a few famous chefs were being approached. ----- Liza
  9. Got to mention Baumgarts on Palisade Avenue in Englewood. Fresh Chinese and homemade icecream - the combination should be patented. Anybody check out the recent incarnation of Sol N' Sol, across the street from Baumgarts? It's moved around a lot since it's first location on lower Palisades, but they used to have the best hand-cut fries and superior pastrami. ----- Liza
