What about using them to flavor a tagine?

Who's the Fresca drinker?

Where do you guys do all your food shopping?

I wish I saw this before I made dinner. I had a hankering for a caesar salad with flaked baked salmon. I'll have to remember this for next time.

Wow. With comments like that, who needs a SO?

If I had a season subscription to Covent Garden, I would really be pissed. From my own experience, we have several theater subscriptions. When deciding to sign-up we take into account the work, the director, and the casting. So, if I layed out who knows how many quid to hear Voight and instead got some little-known waif-y German soprano , I would be furious. I'm curious to know the audience backlash on this.

I walked by yesterday afternoon. The place was pretty empty. I guess it's already last week's news.

The editorial board also weighed in on this, if you're reading the Times extensively.

The weather is miserable here in NYC. Cold, gray, and rainy. Basically, a day for simple comfort foods. Dinner tonight was a green salad and macaroni and cheese. Simply, the edible equivalent of a hug.

OCP - otherwise know as OCs or Oral Contraceptives (I assume the P is for pill)

I believe it's his very first one.

I haven't been there in 10 years -- I can't even remember the food. But, when the weather is nice it's great place for people watching assuming you have an outside table.

Interesting article. But something rankled me. Perhaps the constant use of the word "picky." Perhaps "discerning" is more appropriate, particularly when describing why Whole Foods carries many types of lettuce.

I would try adding a bit of red wine or sherry vinegar to the confit. The acidity should be a good counterbalance to the sweetness.

I tasted something nasty in the woodshed! I was thinking the same thing!!! Great minds think alike

Tonight I went shopping in the freezer for some black bean chili.

Blovie acidentally (or so he claims) bought 2% a couple a weeks ago instead of the usual skim. It was sooo good and rich. It almost brought tears to my eyes. And I don't even particularly like milk.

Do you rehearse at home? I live in a building swarming with opera singers and classical musicians so I frequently get musical accompaniment in the halls.

Kudos to everyone. It all looks delicious!!! (anyone care to send me a care package? )

I bet they taste amazing with butter. Must stop drooling......

I love your counter-tops. And being an apartment dweller, I'm jealous of your sunroom. And since I'm addicted to hockey....Go Leafs Go

Redfox, I never find that dough particularly wet or fragile. I double-checked my typing before I initially sent it. I wonder if I made a typo. My other thought is what type of fat did you use? I've never used butter, so I don't know if that affects the texture. This year I used the Healthy Balance non-hydrogenated fat margerine because I make mine pareve. It worked pretty well. After about 9 months of trying to decide whether or not I like this brand, I've decided it passes the baking test. For the chocolate ones I used something called "spoonable fruit" that erupted through the center when I baked the hamentashen. I couldn't remember what I used in past years and I liked that it was seedless. Well, after 3 dozen I was panicking. So I made the rest with apricot. The mishloach manot are almost totally packed. We're going simple. 8 'tashen (4 of each), and bar of chocolate, and mini bottle of grape juice. If we owned a digital camera, I would include photos, but we don't HAPPY PURIM!!

Shabbat dinner will be: Chicken Soup w/carrot Veal Schnitzel Sauteed mushrooms on arugala Bulgur Pilaf Hamentashen and grapes for dessert Haven't yet decided on the wine.

I won't be going south of 86th street tomorrow. Anyone in the neighborhood care to volunteer their taste buds for egullet?

I walked by there yesterday. They were still getting set up and you could see them training staff through the window. The font used on the store front is hard to read. I wasn't sure if I read the name right until now. Thank it will succeed?
