I love that SNL skit. Here's the link:

Things kids think are "normal" these days...

That's how I learned just a few months ago. I feel very proud of myself when I do a good job and I love the feeling of using up the whole chicken for the meat and bones for broth.

Come Dine With Me

Well now that the BBC version is over, I will keep my fingers crossed. I loved that show! Thanks.

Come Dine With Me

Hi,

Does anyone know if CDWM will ever return to BBC America? Or is the American version forthcoming? I did a Google search on "Come Dine With Me BBC America" and all the articles were from 2010. I was late jumping on the CDWM bandwagon and I really enjoyed it while it lasted.

Thanks.

Chopped All-Stars Finale (5/6/2012) [SPOILERS]

He was getting on my nerves because every sentence he spoke sounded like he was back on NFNS always "on" for the camera.

What did you have for breakfast today?

That combo sounds good too!

Offering the chef a glass of wine

Click on the link given, then click on "Tim Fish" on the banner and it's the first article.

What did you have for breakfast today?

I'll have to try that. I usually have one with almond milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, banana and spinach.

Pozole, a love story

Thanks, coll! I'm going to give it a shot. I hope to fall in love with it too!

Pozole, a love story

Can you give us your recipe, coll?

Thanks!

No time to cook soaked beans

Thank you all for your advice. I look forward to eating my bean soup tomorrow!

No time to cook soaked beans

Hi,

This morning I started soaking some beans (not refrigerated) in order to make soup tonight. Something came up and I won't have time until tomorrow night to make it, 36 hours later. Should I rinse the beans and continue soaking in fresh water or rinse and drain them and then refrigerate until tomorrow night? If I should keep soaking them in fresh water should I put it in the fridge now or keep it out on the counter.

Thanks!

ethnic markets

I love ethic markets! Just yesterday I got gluten-free soy sauce for about a dollar less than at my local grocery store. Also a bunch of green onions for .35, 3 stalks of lemongrass for .59 and I can get a bag of baby bok choy for about .75. If only it were closer!

Do you wash Brussels sprouts?

Order one for me too!

Do you wash Brussels sprouts?

I never ever wash them either.

Needle in a haystack

On my computer, I advance page by page instead of scrolling. I do find that if I scroll, it does go too fast. I think that it is easier to see a new post going page by page. On my phone the problem is not that I miss something but that it takes forever to scroll to the bottom!

DIPS WITH THOSE CHIPS

1 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened
1 bunch of green onions
1/4 c. boiling water
2 beef bouillon cubes

Finely chop tops only of green onions. Dissolve bouillon cubes in boiling water. Add broth to cream cheese and beat well. Add the green onions. If too thick, add a few drops of water.

Addictive!

Needle in a haystack

Am I missing something? I don't see how it's hard to hit the page down button or scroll. Now if you are on your smart phone or iPad, I can see how that would be a pain.

Top Chef Texas -- Reunion

I missed the sabotage comment. What was Nyesha referring to?

foods you eat to get full without consuming too many calories?

Why wait for a visit to a restaurant? It's really fast and easy to make and once you buy the miso and dashi they last a long time. Here's the recipe I use.

Engagement party easy ideas please!

Regarding goodhealthgourmet's polenta idea: I somewhere saw a recipe where you lined a muffin tin with polenta. That would make in easy to fill with the suggested fillings. Don't know the specifics though.

ETA: Just did a google search on "polenta cups" and got a lot of hits.

Participants on Food Media and News: Your Input Please

But he was being called Ugly Chris here way longer than he was on TC. Was that just one episode that Ugly Chris was used? It's not like he was being called that all season.

"Adults deserve to be treated like adults."

So people that continually refer to cheftestants as Ugly John and Shrek are acting like adults?

Edited: Wow, talk about a Freudian slip. I meant Ugly Chris.

America's Test Kitchen Roast Chicken

This sounds like the recipe. It was the first one listed on their site, so I guess it was on recently.

Hope that helps.

Top Chef Texas - Ep. #15 - 02/15/12 (Spoilers)

Totally agree. She was so afraid to go head to head with Bev. She didn't even mention going head to head with Paul, who in my opinion is the better chef.

+1 I also wonder if the shenanigans this season will affect the caliber of chefs that try out in the future. I can't picture the Voltaggios or Kevin participating in these stupid challenges.

What feature would you like to see on Chowhound?

Great idea. I never click on a photo for that very reason.

Were was this restaurant located?
