what is the most useless gadget in your kitchen
A Williams-Sonoma herb mill I got as a wedding shower gift. It sounded like a good idea but all I get is a mushy shredded mess of parsley or basil. Plus it is a pain to clean. Or maybe I just don't know how to use the darn thing....
Christmas Tree Ice Cream?
That sounds inspired! I guess the safety of a handful of needles would depend what the source of your tree is.... If it's from your yard - that's one thing, a tree-lot, well, that's another.
I once made rosemary icecream (another little needle) and was told it tasted like a Christmas Tree, in a good way. Maybe that's another possibility - but it's not pine, I suppose.
A Christmas decoration inspired spread is intriguing (just don't go infusing mistletoe or poinsettia!)
What do Chowhounds do for a living (besides eat of course)?
This is fascinating! and intimidating - but what wonderful dinner party conversation this group would have! I don't post much, but, just for the grand catalogue of professions sake - I am an opera singer. (sounds far more glamourous than it is ! no $3000 meals here...)
Sfogliatelle in Pittsburgh?
Mmm. La Prima's are excellent. I remember getting them at Sunseri's too (not the bakery, the market proper)
