Slow Cooker Questions
i can recommend "not your mother's slow cooker" http://www.amazon.com/Your-Mothers-Slow-Cooker-Cookbook/dp/1558322450 for more modern, less "add a can of condensed soup and cook the c**p out of it" recipes.
Slow cookers are well worth the cost in Florida, for keeping the kitchen cool and using WAY less energy. I think that all-clad model is amazing looking, but you can spend $50 and get a perfectly serviceable slow cooker. I prefer oval. Cook's Illustrated recommends "Crock-Pot Touchscreen Slow Cooker." You don't need a Mercedez to get to the grocery store. A Sonata will get you there for less money.
Pressure cookers create pressure inside the (sealed) pan, lowering the boiling point, cooking food faster. You can make a lamb stew or beef broth that would take all day on the stove top, in just an hour in a pressure cooker. Don't buy a cheap one, and never fill above the "fill line." for safety sake.
Slow cookers are slow. Pressure cookers are fast. I have both, but I use the slow cooker more often.
Best food in or near Eagan?
I'll be in Eagan for business for two separate weeks, one in Oct. and one in Nov. I don't need super-fancy food or sky-high prices, but I appreciate good food and I'm not cheap.
Need I rent a car, or are public transport/taxis good for getting to M/SP? I love light, hot, fresh yeast rolls, and would like to leave the area feeling like I've tried some of the best local food.
Sir Woody's BBQ in Homestead
WOW. Just had Sir Woody's tender, smokey ribs on 3/20 en route to RF Orchids and Robert is Here produce stand/tropical milkshake haven. Amazing day and perfect look at the best of Homestead.

Sprecher's Root Beer
I'm looking for a souce of the Sprecher xxx, which is root beer with a very low alcohol content. (Not xxx root beer from Texas)
Anyone? Anyone?
Boca/Boynton-Superbowl, great food, not a sports pub
I suggest eating at Snapper's on Congress Ave. in Boynton, then driving to Duffy's for drinks/tvs/festive atmosphere. Duffy's food is fine, but very casual: wings, burgers, etc.
Shot glass desserts
I know who sells them. I'm looking for someone who likes them, to tell me why they like them: lower price, fewer calories, etc.
Shot glass desserts
are you from pbcounty, martin or st. lucie? I'm seeking a diner to quote on why they are popular (calories, price, etc.). I'd need 5-10 mins on phone with you.
Shot glass desserts
Do you make or order in restaurants tiny shot glass or 2-bite desserts? Newspaper and online reporter needs source from Palm Beach County for food story on this trend. Contact tmalmer at pbpost.com or 561-820-4516. Preferably a consumer, but a local chef's ok too. thanks!
Do u buy, eat, make tiny desserts in PB Co?
Pringle, are you in PBCo? If so, pls email me contact info. I'd like to speak to your briefly by phone and quote you in a newspaper food article. I'm going to split the email in hopes of it not being harvested by spammers. @gmail.com is the end and the front part is flavors2go. thanks!

Writer looking for source: a home cook or restaurant patron who buys/eats/makes mini or shot glass desserts in Palm Beach County. Just want to ask a few questions: where to buy good ones, what's the appeal (price, calories?), etc.

Rural Alaska, suggestions, prices?
I'll be driving through rural Alaska next July. Possible itinerary: Anchorage, Talkeetna, Denali Park vicinity, Healy, Fairbanks, Delta Junction, Tok, Beaver Creek, Destruction Bay, White Horse, Skagway. Looking for suggestions for b&bs and meals near those places (on en route), and need some idea of prices for restaurant meals. thanks!
Slow Cooker Questions
I covet the model you mention. Browning meat adds caramelization, and therefore flavor. Think of the difference betweeen crispy browned bits of, say, an oven roasted ham combared with deli ham. I don't know of another model you can brown in, except a weirdly shaped black one called rival versaware, that a friend owns and dislikes. I used a combo steamer, fryer, slow cooker. I wish I'd gotten a larger oval model that would accommodate, say, a pork butt. I love mine. I suggest you invest in a rival smart module, that will switch the slow cooker to a safe "low/warm" because most meats don't need to cook 8-10 hours, in my experience. Amazon has a module for less than $10. Some slow cookers have that capability built in. my favorite slow cooker cookbook is "not your mothers' slow cooker." but your braise recipes can be adapted. good luck!
