Sfogliatelle within a 100 mile radius of Cincinnati?
DiSalvo's Deli in Dayton has them occasionally (usually on the weekend). They will make them for you if you call - I'm always very excited when they have them!

Trader Joe's Yea/Nay Thread - 2nd quarter 2012
We just bought two bags of these based on CH recommendations - they may not last the week! Best oranges I've had in years....
Easton/Columbus Places to Eat Feb 2012
Don't forget about Kihachi for sushi - much better than decent!
just bought our first bag of chia seeds--now what?
I use a tablespoon of them in my morning smoothie every day...
What cookies are you baking for Christmas this year? 2011 Edition
You beat me to it - as I read the description all I could think was OMG. Thank you roxlet, those sound absolutely incredible!

Wow, Roxlet, the Casadetti sound wonderful - would you share your recipe?
Brown Basmati Rice help
I cook my brown basmati using the same ratio as I do for white rice but I make sure I rince the rice very, very thoroughly. The few times I've skipped this step has resulted in rice that tasted like cardboard.
Boulevardier - Thank You!
Thanks Dan - I remembered seeing the swap of bourbon for gin but didn't remember that the ratio changed. Next time I'll try 1.5:1:1.
The 1794 sounds wonderful too, though I'll need to find the bitters...
Boulevardier - Thank You!
I would like to thank the Spirit Chowhounds who have suggested this drink in past threads. I discovered the Negroni for the first time this summer but, with it being a decidedly Fall day, I took the leap and tried the Boulevardier this afternoon. What a perfect drink for the season - slightly smoky with the bourbon (Buffalo Trace), sweet from the vermouth (Vya), and a bitter finish from the Campari. Just wonderful.
I think it is safe to say I have found my drink for the dark evenings of Fall and Winter.
The recipe, for those who have missed it:
Boulevardier
1.5 oz Bourbon
1.5 oz Sweet Vermouth
1.5 oz Campari
I served it on the rocks and finished it with a few drops of Angustora Orange bitters
Weight Watchers Foodies: What are you Cooking? Part 3 [old]
Returning to this thread after a bit of a hiatus...I'm continuing to lose but with traveling for work and vacation it is not as fast as I would like. Still, down almost 42 pounds since February!
Today's dinner was a simple pork "schwarma" recipe from Cooking Light, served with whole wheat pita, diced red onion, cucumber, grape tomatoes and a tahini sauce made with Greek yogurt, garlic and lots of lemon juice. Golden melon for dessert. Nice simple meal on a sweltering summer day.
Anyone have a good pickled daikon recipe?
I made these over the weekend. I don't know if it is the style you are looking for but they were very good!

Ultimate Steak - Whats yours?
Wow, great post. How long does it usually take for the BGE to drop down to 400 degrees??

This sounds so wonderful - I'm so sick of the rain and cold temperatures and this sounds like just the thing to warm me up. Thanks for the inspiration!

Breakfast for dinner tonight. A few thick slices of firm polenta crisped with 1 tsp olive oil, 2 eggs over easy, few slices of Canadian bacon, black French press decaf coffee.

Work has been manic this week so I've been relying on quick pantry meals. Today was no exception- dinner will be whole wheat penne topped with a quick tomato sauce consisting of canned San Marzanos, onion, garlic, mushrooms and zucchini with lots of fresh cut basil. Maybe some strawberries macerated with a drop of Campari for dessert.
I've been saving all of my weeklies and activity points for tomorrow's dinner- homemade pizza and a few beers. Can't wait!

This laab sounds great - I will be making it for next week's lunch, for sure!

Easy day today - breakfast was my "Elvis" smoothie which is Greek yogurt, skim milk, frozen banana and 2 T of Pb2 (peanut flour). Lunch was leftover tabolleh with some diced cucumber and cold poached chicken, blackberries for dessert. Dinner was marinated flank steak cooked in a red-hot skillet with fat-free refried beans and grilled veggies (onions, peppers and zucchini).

This is such a great series of threads....I officially joined WW in early February and am following the Simply Filling version (I tended to get a bit obsessive when I was counting points all of the time, so only counting non-Power Foods works best for me). Such a great program - I'm down 34 pounds so far and, honestly, it hasn't been difficult. Lots of great ideas in these threads!
I made a batch of Mario Batali's farro soup yesterday and am having it for lunch this week - fabulous!! I cut way back on the olive oil and I go easy on the parmesian....
Looking forward to reading everyone's menus!

New Trader Joe's Yea/Nay Thread - 2nd Quarter 2011 [old]
I have bought this several times and really want to like it - can you tell me how you get it to cook evenly? Every time I make it the baby garbanzos and the red quinoa are still a bit too crunchy when the couscous and orzo are done....
What is your favorite CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP kitchen gadget
Flexible cutting boards - I love these things. I think I paid $1.98 for a pack of two at Ikea and they last a long, long time.
Best Food Finds at Costco Part 2 6/10
We found a beautiful pound of chanterelles for the first time and had them for dinner with a piece of prime sirloin and a perfectly cooked sweet potato. Talk about a successful Costco dinner!
Top Chef - D.C. - Ep. #7 - 07/28/10 (Spoilers)
Interesting comments by Tom - I'm rewatching the episode and you can clearly see Tom in the kitchen when Ed is frantically searching the kitchen for the missing puree (Tom's blue chef's jacket makes him very easy to spot).
Top Chef: where are they now (ongoing)
I thought I caught a fleeting glimpse of Stefan in this season's premiere episode of Entourage...
ETA - Yep, that was him!

Have you tried Pasha, which opened in Cafe Istanbul's location at the Greene? A friend of mine loves it and I understand the owner is related to the owner of the Easton location.
