some other restaurants that we tried: MAINE 111 in Brunswick for brunch. Service was friendly but a bit slow and overwhelmed. It’s a very cute little homey place and since I wasn’t in a rush, I had a pleasant time. The...

out of jail free card when rushed. force yourself to develop good knife skills early on instead of relying on prechopped, subpar and pricy veggies

've waited this long. As a child, I always enjoyed the ceremony and presentation of the “whack” of the clay/mud and the resulting rush of aromas that it harkoned. Lily’s put an interesting twist on this dish by...

which lurks in the ‘hormone-free, free-range’ chicken catagory, I believe, so everyone who feels bad for the chikens they are eating can eat them in clear conscience. I am suffering from low blood sugar or I would be...

Welcome back, Harry. That is a writeup for the ages, right next to Muman on Sugar. I’m startled by the detail about the steak being deep-fried— are there any circumstances under which that would be normal, or make any...

I feel ya – I’m permanently on an eating plan that is high-protein, no bread, and no sugar! Re: Masa – I heard they were “going” to start serving breakfast, but never heard when. Since I can’t...

. is anyone getting their dander up with these statements? i think when simon rushes out to rave about london restaurants, he is really thinking about the club gascons, the la trouvailles of this world. and when he slams new york...

-up of catfish essence with the consistency of breakfast cereal comes at you like no normal dish. A sauce heavy on twin juices, lime and fish, provide strong flavor to this sandy item. Another dish that works its way down your...

since the Gold Rush. Because pie is such a sacrament in my acquired-by-marriage family, I eat plenty enough of it without buying it in restaurants. Occasionally I bake one for my Illinois-born, Michigan-bred father, usually cherry...

I have found that, although I used to like the margaritas served in bars, over the years they have become more sweet and sour as my tolerance for sugariness and sourness has declined. If I drink drinks like that, I feel my self...

fostered in the home. That home-based tradition is in serious danger from the rush of modern life and from a transition to industrially-produced foods. The same insensitivity that causes us to open the can of chef-boy-ar-dee at...

do enjoy Chablis, both are predominantly chardonnay grape, but Chablis are far less oaky. That made the difference for me. Maybe you need a little sugar to take the edge off. Try a German Riesling.

to troubleshoot after the recipe failed. The brownies she made with pancake mix came out too crumbly to eat out of hand, but were good for ice cream sundaes. It wasn’t til she put salt instead of sugar in the chocolate chip...

Seriously, have you ever seen that snack stuff that looks like dog food & you serve it in a new doggie bowl? It’s Chex, tossed in a melted mix of peanut butter & chocolate, then tossed in confectioner’s sugar....

like Gale Gand’s "Butter Sugar Flour Eggs." Everything I’ve made from it has turned out well and I’m not much of a baker.
