So I'm making buffalo wings for a superbowl party that is an hour and a half from my house. I was going to fry them, bring them to the party naked, then toss them in a slow cooker with the sauce for awhile. Will this cause them to get soggy since they'll cool down during the car ride? Or...

So my fiance and I were talking with his cousin and girlfriend about doing some lobsters at home. We are in MN, about as far from any ocean as you can get in the US. I've never cooked live lobster before, but it can't be that hard from the bit I've read so far. So, for the complete lobster...

i'm thinking of buying a copper pan, it's a toss up between falk and mauviel. i like the brushed surface of the falk more than the shiny surface of the mauviel, but mauviel is available at bed bath and beyond so i can use 20% off coupons, which drops the price quite a bit. can someone who has...
