CREAMY MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP
I love the mushroom barley soup at different dairy restaurants here in NYC. I want to recreate it at home...all i can find is recipes that seem to have a clear broth. Anyone have a great recipe for a creamy mushroom barley soup...maybe make a roux?
NEED A QUIET BAR WITH SNACKS/AND OR FOOD
meeting up with some old friends...want a bar in the city that is kind of quiet and not too crazy on

Plumpy’nut peanut food to combat starvation
There was a special on ABC I think about 4 years ago about plumpy nut. i thought it was fascinating...and more interesting that there are hardly any peanut allergies when this is used.....hummmmm? not sure what that means.
Thanks for sharing the article, i had missed it
Spekuloos spread
They sell it at the truck...saw it at the one at the Seaport on Fridaay
BEST wedding caterer?
Try Cleaver Company in Chelsea Market. Mary Cleaver has always been at the forefront of using local/regional/organic ingredients. They are top notch, friendly and easy to work with.
AEGEAN COVE-ASTORIA
Trying to find a great greek restaurant in Astoria? Look no further than Aegean Cove. Tucked away at the end of Steinway street, everything about it is great. Beautiful room, but we were lucky
enough to sit upstairs among the herbs and candles on a warm night. Started out with sausage (home made) wonderful hummus and red pepper dip, octopus, baked feta! Shrimp simply grilled and swordfish....dessert was wonderful greek yogurt with honey/nuts, baklava and walnut cake. Fantastic greek wines rounded out our meal. We will be back again and again.

lal erie perch or walleye?
as a former Ohioan, I am desperate to get some good perch walleye when I visit in a few weeks. Cleveland or west (lorain county, vermilion, etc)
Any ideas?
Ever have sand tarts???
my nana made these too! I make them every christmas!
Cream together 2 cups butter abd 2 1/2 cups sugar
Add 4 cups of flour and two eggs.
She would roll these into large logs and cut into cookies. I roll the whole log in
sugar and then sprinkle with sugar after I cut them
Bake at 350 for 12 minutes...you can also sprinkle with sugar after baking.
Enjoy! they are so decadent because of all the butter.....it is the holidays!!
Best Black and White cookie??
Glaser's Bakery, 83rd and First I believe. Been around forever and make the best black and whites

NEIGHBURRITO-LES-Rivington
Walked by the place last night in my neighborhood. My boyfriend said it used to be Dash Dogs?
Anyway, great burritos. Boyfriend had steak, fresh tortillas and guac that was really good.
I had the special burrito, tilapia with black beans and mango, I think. Delicious.
Going to Apizz - Any Recommendations?
One of my favorite places. My favorite is the Ravioli Con Zucca open ravioli, ricotta, mascarpone, caramelized butternut squash, brown butter and sage, Husband likes meatballs and short ribs. Pizzas are fantastic. Nice wine list. Nice people.
Mozza's Butterscotch Budino recipe online!
41 grams of fat in one serving! No wonder it is so good
making mozzarella at home
We took a class in mozzarella making here in New York. You have to purchase the curd, but it was relatively easy. The hardest part was basically putting your hands in extremely hot water to form the ball...BUT it was so worth it. Better than any I have had outside. Ate it with olive oil, tomatoes, basil.
Supper
I love Supper. They usually have this wonderful lemon pasta on their menu. Make sure to try it. Good wine list too.
Where did you eat (out) on Christmas?
ALTO...food was good, my partner had the prix fixe with 4 courses which included beef carpacio, rags of pasta with beef cheek and lamb chops. Cheese course (with added supplement $) I had two courses, lobster risotto was wonderful, then a fish dish that was just ok. Interesting crowd, older, tourists maybe? Probably would not go back.
Shopsin's: As Good As Its Reputation
I thought the food was great....the father came out midway thru my meal and HE was filthly....looked homeless! But, the place looked super clean (it is in Essex Market after all) and that guy can really cook!
