    Cooling down a hot kitchen

    Summer, my least favorite season. If you hate heat as much as I do, when you are finished cooking, put a kettle or covered pot of water on the hot burner. After 5 minutes, dump the hot water and repeat. If you want to conserve... (0 replies, last updated by greygarious June 3, 2008)

  • Kosher

    Where find kosher: Salted fermented black beans

  • Los Angeles Area

    30th Birthday dinner

    I would say Angelini Osteria or its refined sister, La Terza. Both prepare incredible Italian food (Angelini is arguably LA’s finest Italian) and neither would scare off more conservative eaters. Angelini is tiny, cramped,... (3 replies, last updated by srl December 13, 2005)

    where's my water?

    How long does brine last in the fridge?

    . Actually, when I stop to think about it, I’m not wasteful about everything. I’m very ecologically conservative, and EVERY refrigerator and/or freezer is energy star rated, my heat pump is the most energy efficient... (12 replies, last updated by Caroline1 October 6, 2008)

  • Boston Area

    JP chow crawl, part deux

    and chowing together as a sort of conservation of mass and energy to balance the calories. I’m afraid to say that Cristal was just OK. I had a fried chicken thigh and a couple of meatballs with rice and beans ($5). All were... (8 replies, last updated by tulseluper August 30, 2007)

    How Does your Body Know You've Ate?

    like it’s burning, especially the tops of my thighs. I get sweaty. Someone touches my skin and remarks how hot it feels. If I have gone hungry for an hour, I start feeling positively chilled; that’s my body conserving... (16 replies, last updated by blondie60614 September 29, 2007)
