| Filed under: Fast Food, Food NewsThese days, product placement (especially when it comes to food) is a fact of life. We all know that when one of our favorite television characters is holding a Coke or Pepsi product in an episode of their show, the company paid big bucks to get it there. Same goes for any mention of Kraft cheese, Cheerios cereal |

| We had some killer thunderstorms last night and this morning. It was great. Everything cooled off and I was able to get some sleep. Sleeping in the heat is very uncomfortable and I will be thrilled to live in the world of AC again. The dogs are loving it too. I was getting worried about the two oldest, they can’t |

| Filed under: Recipes, Lists, How To, Slashfood Ate, BreadThere is nothing better than a fresh baguette! But, how many times have you opened your bread holder at home only to find that your bread has become hard like a rock? It's the fresh well-made bread that does not last more than a day or two. The truth is that this bread never really goes |

| I wish there was some souly Vegan eatery around here, or vegetarian, something that has loooads of options for what i could eat. I know whereever i go to eat (aslong as it isn’t a steak house or something) there will be something a vegan can eat. But, it would be nice if there was a huge choice, and i wasn’t limited. |

| Filed under: Cheese, Italy, Artisan Foods, Cheese CourseWhen I first started my career in the cheese biz, I had no idea how many pecorinos there were. The category includes essentially all Italian sheep's milk cheeses. Pecora in Italian means "sheep." Most of them are produced in Tuscany and Sardinia. Calcagno is a pecorino that's hand crafted in |

I am glad of the blog's stance to not mock home bakers as I've certainly made some regrettable looking creations, but if I'm going to pay for something, I would expect it to look good. As for the cake in this |

| Last night my husband and I went to Whole Foods to pick out some sort of seafood to grill for dinner. We saw the calamari steaks and thought, maybe instead of frying them like the restaurants all do, we should grill them for a healthy meal. These were delicious! All I did was marinate them in dill and lemon juice, sprinkle |

| J. G. Melon has been mentioned quite a bit on A Hamburger Today and Serious Eats:New York lately. I listed it as one of the definitive burgers on Third Avenue as I made the case for that Manhattan street to be dubbed "Hamburger Alley." Bobby Flay named it as his favorite burger in an interview on SE:NY. And just last week Alan Richman |

| Filed under: Fast Food, Vegetarian/VeganI've learned over the years that one of the vital rules when cooking for both meat-eaters and vegetarians is that you have to do everything you can not to contaminate your vegetarian cooking vessels and tools with anything meaty.
