places that serve something like a soft taco. For breakfast, Mexican rolls, fruit, fresh juice and sometimes sweet tamales with fruit filling. Supper is similar to lunch, but a smaller meal. In the mountains in Michoacan, I stayed...

" that is a couple of tasteless cherry tomatoes, a sliver of a cucumber slice, some grated “cheese” product, and a mountain of blah greens. BAH!

Thanks all for the recs! This has given me an awesome list of new places to try. To the few who were oh-so-cleverly sarcastic...sorry if I hit a nerve, didn’t mean to get anyone all defensive about their pride and joy...

to the registry. That being said, my personal favorite gift not on the registry was an old-fashioned White Mountain hand crack ice cream maker. We received ours as a wedding present with the wishes that it would last through our...

Shortcuts: I hate sifting, and I usually just mix whatever I need to with a fork. If it requires sifting, I won’t make it. I was a baker for 3 years, and I have sifted mountains of powdered sugar. Never again. I really value...

NO! It’s great for the industry!!! Anything that gets people to drink wine is a good thing! As their tastes develop and evolve, they will leave 2BC far behind . . . just as others left Boone’s Farm, Sutter Home White...

said all of that, spoiled people are all over the place. Visit any North Indian marriage – you’ll find mountains of food thrown on to the ground – without any thought of perhaps donating the excess. Another...

’d be on a plane to Aspen. But raw fish followed by raw chicken is not a good way to receive a Rocky Mountain High. The Quickfire and the Elimination were both dismal failures, but you came a lot further than jfood would have...

wow, we are loved chowhounds! Dh bought a food tour/NYC, we’ll save it for the spring Our oldest son bought us shares in a vineyard! He has great gift ideas every year!

it at first, and not everybody tries the right wines when they are beginning. I well remember choking down various disgusting items (mateus, giocobazzi, almaden mountain burgundy etc.) during my college years. Rather than giving...
