that swings out and up, proud of the cabinet, and let the 30-32" wide base cabinet (then stores the mixer and bowls or sheet pans) have a stepped down top, not a lot of space to work some dough, but nice enough, and a good size...

The main thing is getting good fish or seafood to start with. In the midwest, you are often better off buying frozen seafood—most shrimp that you buy a the grocery store are simply thawed, and are not actually fresh. If you...

beef stew, steamed mussels, paella, even potato gratin). It’s not that expensive if you order it from LaTienda dot com. It’s cheaper in larger quantities (a whole ounce!), which you can store in cool place in...

bought two bottles of a 1999 Gigondas from Château Raspail. The first, opened at a tasting, reeked to high heaven (one taster memorably described it as like a donkey defecating into a vat of blue cheese) though it tasted fine....

agreed that the alternative polish had a different and less welcoming flavor. No one bought a copy of Kill Bill being hawked near us. Seth Z joined. We all found parking spaces in Chinatown and hit Triple Crown (211 W. 22nd Place)...

off the meat. I don’t think the BF bought a really high-quality metal version of this appliance since it cost less than 200, but we’ll see what happens. He likes playing with fire in the Texas heat so I’m hoping...

. At least the stalls outside (at the Saturday market) gave the impression of a proper farmer’s market, even if the prices made me gasp. I bought an ounce of smoked onions from Tierra Vegetables (at the urging of my...

Sarah was laughable last night; degrading being sent to the grocery store in heals. C’mon! She presented herself like a child last nigh. I can understand Casey’s position that she separates work and play, but I think...

Definitely get the wide noodles. They’re handmade. The waitresses at A&J told me the thin ones from bought from stores and are not as tasty.

stuff as well. We splurged on day and bought some whitefish caviar and it was pretty good. Our first real experience. We liked it. If I’m not mistaken, it comes from whitefish from Lake Erie. Above all else, I can’t...

off, but they were good. I bought some Elephant Heart Plum jam as a souvenir, and I’m enjoying that. I found the request to bus our own tables a little bizarre – we were not given a tray to put our food on, and when we...
