My recipe, Crab Beignets with Aioli Dipping Sauce, is a finalist this week over at food52.com. I'm hoping my friends here will go over there and vote for me. The voting closes Tuesday (tomorrow, 6/7) at midnight. Merci bien in advance! :smile:

about those AWFUL roll-over ads that roll over all by themselves, and then, just while you're reading down where the ad has thrown you, it rolls back up and the page goes flying! I realize ads are essential to the success of the site, but those roll-over ads are distracting. They make me want...

I'm starting a new thread for discussion of this movie, because I think it will generate quite a lot of talk -- opinions and ideas. It opens in theaters on Friday, August 7th. I was lucky to be invited to a preview last evening so I will give you my impressions, but I won't give you too many...

The holidays, especially New Year's, seem to awaken most folks' interest in sparkling wine. Most of us think first of Champagne -- that light and sparkly wine from France. But the price for the "real" stuff starts around $30 per bottle. In these times of economic downturn, that can be out of...

Yesterday, my brother-in-law had a brain tumor removed. The same kind of surgery Teddy Kennedy had last spring. It all came on very quickly. He fell out of bed Tuesday morning, and was in surgery by Friday. He's at Mayo's in Phoenix. The doctors feel they got the whole mass, and are...

this one, for some reason, always wins them over! My mom didn't like the texture of pumpkin pie. (Neither do I.) So she always made this pie for Thanksgiving. No matter how many she made, there was never anything left at the end of the day! NELLE'S PUMPKIN CHIFFON PIE makes one 9-inch pie 1...

who might still have your YESTERDAY's (July 23rd) copy of the Saveur section of the Star-Ledger..... There's an article on brown-bagging by Robert Rastelli in which I am quoted (apparently) extensively. I say apparently, because I was out sick yesterday and didn't even get ONE copy, so I...

It's getting to be "THAT" time of year again, when visions of sugarplums start dancing in our heads -- not to mention the taste buds. So I was thinking we could have a virtual cookie swap this year. Everyone post a favorite holiday cookie recipe (or three) here in this thread, and we can all...

and now I cannot find the thread to bring up! So I'm starting a new one, and hope the sweet bride-to-be will find it. Muffuletta (The original recipe came from Lee Bailey, a true Louisiana gentleman, and he surely did advise pressing the sandwich, as do I, if you want your eaters to get their...
