. the co-op acts as a buying club for its members, who in return get discounts on some food items, and can often order favorite foods by the case, etc. co-op markets usually support local sustainable farms and small local...

- they have to judge on the food alone. Which is why Emily went home last week – her meal was completely inedible, whereas Michael’s cheesesteak, while it looked bad, was at least edible. Edited to say that...

rambling today or what?! You sound like a reasonably food-capable couple (you read this site, after all!) so good luck and happy Turkey!

If there’s something i miss more living downtown than having access to good Chinese food it’s not being able to visit Diana’s more often or that Lawrence Ave strip. I’m within walking distance of SLM but...

interior. I’ll never again buy anything by Maytag. The thing broke down (the fans that distribute cold) when it was less than a year old, and while they repaired it free, they didn’t contribute one thin dime toward...

Well, to unclog mine my hubby must go into the crawl space under the kitchen, lay on his back under the pipe that the plumber years ago put an insufficient slope on, and open up the pipe to get at the clog. Clogged pipe = a lot...

any sort of justification, BUT the food is really good; your solution is to eat the chef’s food, but boycott the owner’s wine list and its pricing. 3) You are seriously into wine, have a huge wine cellar, and...

I’ve noticed a disturbing trend on the home cooking board. When people discuss gnocchi, they pay attention to the quality of the ricotta. Much attention is paid to the subtleties of roasting chickens. Generally, people are...

This is unbelievably fast and very tasty. Total comfort food. (I don’t add parsley.) Link: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/230614

I’m gonna buck the “try white fish first” advice. I ate white fish my whole young life and hated it, even though it was well prepared by my grandmother, who made wonderful food in general. It was not until...

I agree, herbs are less demanding than any other plant category and nothing adds more flavor and variety to our food. Herbs are one step removed from a weed and those varied aromatics protect them from most browsing animals.

Misrepresentation of facts is a sure sign of a weak argument. We wanted to be seated so we could start ordering food and beverages, while waiting for our guests, when the restaurant was able to accommodate that situation. There...

be better off? Am I right in suspecting that Lakeview restaurants are more about the scene than the food? And how far apart are these neighborhoods, anyway? (I know...about 3 miles...but do people ever walk from one neighborhood...
