soup has too much of something-I think it’s bay leaf. I love all the sandwiches, especially the ruben’s and sky high’s. I ADORE THE BLINTZES. The Monday night bbq chicken is incredible althought not a real deli...

people who are connoisseurs of good stuff (i.e. the things I like) to be at least somewhat interested in trying to expand their horizons... Anyway, last night I went to a weekly gathering of local car nuts. These things are by...

. It had a full working waterfall. Before that my only Chinese food was canned Chung King which made me wonder what the appeal of Chinese food was all about. The only Chinese restaurant in my hometown served warmed up canned...

't have to walk miles and miles in the middle of the night just to get in line for water and/or grain somewhere in the middle of Africa?!

get in there late at night, the kitchen has some extra time to really make things right, and boy do they ever. Sonic Drive-In: Certainly not the fastest out there, but pretty darn good. Standouts include their drink selection...

Can you picture a little metal pot with warm water in it and a tag hanging out that says "Bigelow?"

A challenge. I’m looking for kid-friendly sandwich ideas. Anything that can go in a lunch box or be served at home - warm or cold. Must be peanut-free (aargh). Simple is good. Different is good. Plain is good. Fancy is...

I come from a large family- and mom cooked dinner every night. One of my siblings seemed to hate everything- as a matter of fact, my mom took him to the doctor when he was small because she did not think a child could exist on...

minimum so as to fully bring out the meaty richness of the sausage and the perfectly steam-warmed fresh bun. That shamrock-green relish looks... cold-blooded to me. But if you want to eat a handfull of condiments, well, suit...

be very elegant. My family never complains when we have omelet night. Your herb garden will be a boon if you go that route. NB fresh greens above. Co-ops are great for bulk grains, legumes, pastas, etc. Make use of them. Never,...

. If it was merely two people who worked together, one helping out the other, then maybe it’s time to move on. As Ned would say, jayhawk is in a “Dilly of a pickle”. Congrats on the win on Monday night Jayhawk. DT

Whenever my SO compliments me on a quick dinner made after a long day, I always say that I really just assembled store-bought ingredients. He counters by saying that the way the ingredients are assembled makes them homemade. I...
