       <description><![CDATA[<stripped>When I cook for myself, it's usually something simple becuase I like to put my energy into cooking for others. Pasta, salads, and the like. But, if I can get them... CLAMS! My husband is allergis to clams so I don't make them often. So if he's not around, I love to make steamed clams or pasta with white clam sauce! delish. <BR /><BR />

       <title>Homemade Marshmallows Dipped in Gourmet Chocolate</title>
       <pubDate>Wed, 29 Apr 2009 17:16:34 -0400</pubDate>
       <author>Sherry Smith-Noble</author>
       <description><![CDATA[<stripped><P>Last summer I decided to make homemade marshmallows.  I dipped them in chocolate, and people loved them.   I've been cooking, baking, and making candy for years, and decided I would take this creation and make it into a business -- thus was born Eutopian Chocolates.  So when you discuss comfort food, this is it for me!!  Now that I'm around it all the time I'm much more controlled, and I've ruined my family and friends from ever eating junk candy.   There is nothing like really good chocolate around a creamy marshmallow center.</P></stripped>]]></description>

       <description><![CDATA[<stripped>Good call.  I saw that episode, but forgot the recipes.  Hopefully, they'll print a few on the website.  They just had Top Chef auditions here in ATL.  I can't wait to watch!!!!!!  Does Wiley Dufresne have any cookbooks?  I can't find any on Amazon.  It just hands me a selection of molecular gastronomy books.<br />BTW- Don't write off the egg as health food.  They're low in saturated fat and high in vitamin E and B vitamins, just what the body needs to put its cholesterol to good use.  I'm pretty sure they make me smarter.  :)   <br /><br /><p><stripped>Play with your food!</stripped></p></stripped>]]></description>

<P>If you know someone who owns a restaurant or store in France, they can easily ship them a small quantity, then we can smuggle it into North America!</P>

       <description><![CDATA[<stripped><a href="AccountPictureView.aspx?id=3927"><img src="AccountPicture.aspx?id=3927" border="0" height="200" width="266" /></a>
<a href="AccountPictureView.aspx?id=3926"><img src="AccountPicture.aspx?id=3926" border="0" height="200" width="266" /></a>
<a href="AccountPictureView.aspx?id=3925"><img src="AccountPicture.aspx?id=3925" border="0" height="200" width="266" /></a> <br />I have almost 3 dozen eggs in my fridge right now, and the day's not over, so I'm all about egg recipes.  This one is from <u>The Farmstead Egg Cookbook</u> by Terry Golson.<br /><br />Challah<br />4 tsp. (2 packages) instant yeast<br />7 to 8 c. bread flour<br />2 tsp. kosher salt<br />1/2 c. sugar<br />1 3/4 c. plus 1 tsp. water<br />3 large eggs<br />1/3 c. vegetable oil<br />1 egg yolk<br /><br />1. Stir the yeast, 1 c. of flour, salt and sugar together in a large bowl.<br /><br />2.Pour in the 1 3/4 c. water and combine [I heated my water just a little].  Add the eggs and    oil.  Mix until smooth.<br /><br />3.  Add the remaining flour, 1 c. at a time, untila  sticky dough forms.  Knead adding a little flour at a time, to forma  smooth ball of dough.  Err on the side of a moist dough.  I use a stand mixer for the kneading, but it is an easy dough to work by hand.<br /><br />4.  Put the dough in a covered bowl (I use a large plastic tub with a lid) and let it rest in a warm place until double in bulk.  This will take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours depending on the room's temperature.  Don't rush it.<br /><br />5.  Punch down the risen dough and, if sticky, dust with flour so that it can be handled.  Put on a floured surface and knead briefly until smooth.  Divide into 2 portions and then divide those into 3 parts.  As they do in professional bakeries, I use a scale to do this, because strands of equal size produce a braided loaf that rises evenly and looks beautiful.<br /><br />6.  Roll each portion into a strand about 12 inches long.  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.<br /><br />7.  Take 3 of the strands and pinch the ends together.  Braid them and then pinch the other end.  Tuck the pinched ends under the loaf and place on the parchment.  Repeat with the second loaf.  Both should fit on the baking sheet or use two sheets.  Give the loaves room to rise and spread.<br /><br />8.  Mix the egg yolk with 1 tsp. of water to make an egg wash.  Paint the loaves using a pastry brush.  Let rise until about double in size, about 1 hr. <br /><br />9.  Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Just prior to baking, brush the loaves again with the egg wash.  Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden.<br /><br />This was a very easy bread to make and the flavour was excellent.  Considering the price of fresh bread these days, I'll be making a lot more of this.  I can't wait to make french toast with it.  Last night we ate it with a lovely soup of boiled chicken with its broth, sliced fingerling potatoes and lacinato kale.  We didn't even make it to the sofa (our usually eating place).  We just stood at the couter with giant bowls and scarfed.<br /></stripped>]]></description>

The end result was a yummy, homey, comforting one bowl dinner.  Totally recommended!<BR />

       <description><![CDATA[<stripped>I just saw these in the store a few weeks ago and bought some of their egg white scrambles.  They are sooo good!  I'm addicted!  I wish I had found them sooner-they are perfect for throwing in the microwave right before I walk out the door and then I can eat it during my commute.  I'm huge into organic products and these are one of the only organic egg whites that I could find.  Thanks for the link to their website-I never thought of looking them up online.  I saw that they made ice cream (my favorite thing in the whole world) and had to try the ice creams made with egg whites...I LOVE the pineapple coconut flavor.  It's perfect for those warm afternoons!<br /></stripped>]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Just the other day, I was
out to eat with my friends at Butterfly down on the piers, where I had the
tender duck dish.<span style="">  </span>Food was delicious,
but what surprised me more was Butterfly’s partnership with
StreetSmart4Kids.<span style="">  </span>For those of you that
don’t know, SS4K is a nonprofit organization, whose mission is to keep homeless
teens off the street.<span style="">  </span>The campaign they
are running this year is called "Dine Out and Donate."<span style="">  </span>All you have to do is visit one of the
participating restaurants around the city (visit <a href="http://www.streetsmart4kids.org">www.streetsmart4kids.org</a> for a
list) and give a donation when you pay the check (minimum $3).<span style="">  </span>It’s a really great way to give back to the
community without the stress of doing actual community service labor.<span style="">  </span>So next time you’re going out for a night on
the town, check out SS4K’s restaurant list and kill two birds with one
stone—eat great and do it for a great cause!<stripped></stripped></span></p>

       <description><![CDATA[<stripped>   <a href="AccountPictureView.aspx?id=3682"><img src="AccountPicture.aspx?id=3682" border="0" height="200" width="266" /></a>This is what you get from a 4' x 4',  minimal upkeep plot and less than $2 worth of seed potatoes-- about 25lb. of tasty, fresh taters.  Incidently, I discovered that the potatoes I buy in the grocery store must be between 6-8 weeks old.  That's how long it took these to reach a similar firmness and texture, and they were improperly store.  I was truly delighted to find that potatoes straight from the ground bear no comparison to the lifeless, bland, mealy things marketed by grocery stores.  These were <b>very</b> firm and had a creamy texture when cooked.  The skin was tissue thin and tasted like a vegetable.  I can't wait to plant more potatoes!<br /><br /><a href="AccountPictureView.aspx?id=3681"><img src="AccountPicture.aspx?id=3681" border="0" height="200" width="266" /></a>
For all my Russian friends out there, you snowbunnies know how to make a damned fine tomato!  These are Purple Russian paste tomatoes and some of the tastiest I've ever had.  I gave a few away and got fantastic feedback, then I got greedy.  I'm actually hoarding these now.  They make a superior salsa.  The flavour brings to mind sweet, smoked meat.  I will be planting many of these next season and keeping them all for myself.<br /><br /><a href="AccountPictureView.aspx?id=3680"><img src="AccountPicture.aspx?id=3680" border="0" height="200" width="266" /></a>This is a sample of what I'm harvesting daily now.  Don't let the green and yellow tomatoes fool you, they are ripe and they aren't tart.  The curved zucchinis come from one of the weirdest most prolific plants I've ever seen.  In a few weeks, my neighbors will be sitting in their backyards plucking zucchini off of my plant.  This thing is positively Jurassic in its size, and it refuses to be detered by fences, just knocked it down and kept growing.  That being said, the flesh is quite mild and the fruit itself is very delicate.  The yellow tomato at the top of the pic was a freebie when I ordered seeds.  It's a Furry Yellow Hog, and guess what?  It's furry!  The skin is similar to an apricot and just shy of being peach-like.  Weird!<br /><a href="AccountPictureView.aspx?id=3679"><img src="AccountPicture.aspx?id=3679" border="0" height="200" width="266" /></a>
<a href="AccountPictureView.aspx?id=3678"><img src="AccountPicture.aspx?id=3678" border="0" height="200" width="266" /></a>
<a href="AccountPictureView.aspx?id=3677"><img src="AccountPicture.aspx?id=3677" border="0" height="200" width="266" /></a>
<a href="AccountPictureView.aspx?id=3676"><img src="AccountPicture.aspx?id=3676" border="0" height="200" width="266" /></a>
<br />This is my carrot, radish and greens selection.  It'll be winter before I can coax more carrots from the ground, but the memories of confetti slaw are still fresh in my mind.  The slaw is actually a mixture of zucchini, multi coloured carrots and radishes, mmmm.  The greens were great while they lasted-- not long enough.  That nasty heat wave that came through made all of my greens and basil bolt so fast there was no stopping it.  It stunted what was left of my radishes and utterly ruined my beets.  They beets really hurt my feelings.  I also grew some corn which the goats kindly pruned for me.  I neve got enough to cook with, but I enjoyed a couple of fresh ears with my wild things.  The flavour was top notch and the sweetness was just enough.  The goats were also quite impressed.  <br /><br />In a couple of weeks, these will be making eggs.<br /><br /><a href="AccountPictureView.aspx?id=3685"><img src="AccountPicture.aspx?id=3685" border="0" height="202" width="269" /></a>  <br />In the meantime, this is the kind of dustbathing debauchery we have to endure:<br /><a href="AccountPictureView.aspx?id=3684"><img src="AccountPicture.aspx?id=3684" border="0" height="200" width="266" /></a><br /><p><stripped>Play with your food especially if it plays back!</stripped></p></stripped>]]></description>

       <description><![CDATA[<stripped>Drunk and tired, last night I decided to just make something up using the pre-prepped foods in my larder.   I used canned field peas, canned mustard greens, pre-shredded Mexican blend cheese and a couple of tortillas to make one of the best, weirdest quesadillas I've ever eaten.  After cooking them up in a little Smart Balance, I topped them with the salsa I made yesterday afternoon and a pile of jalepeno peppers.  Yeehaw, it was good!<br /><br /><p><stripped>Play with your food!</stripped></p></stripped>]]></description>

Organic ofcourse.  </P>
<P>Yum!</P>

       <description><![CDATA[<stripped><P>I've added a new feature to <A href="/PlacesView.aspx">eat out</A> yesterday that allows you link a website. For example, check out <a href="http://www.foodcandy.com/PlaceView.aspx?id=268">Prune</a> that has a link to the New York Magazine review, with a thumbnail of the site. This is particularly useful for bloggers. Link those reviews of the restaurant to eat-out and get more traffic.</P>
<P>Also, thumbnails should be working now for the websites linked from your account. It takes a while to cycle through all of these, but if you see that a thumbnail isn't updated within 24 hours, let me know.</P>

       <title>The Silver Swan closing down on Saturday</title>
       <pubDate>Thu, 12 Jun 2008 18:42:34 -0400</pubDate>
       <author>Jim Donnellan</author>
       <description><![CDATA[<stripped>For those of you aware of the German restaurant/taphouse Silver Swan in Gramercy, you should be aware that it will apparently be closing it's doors at end-of-business Saturday. It was just announced today.<br /><br />Apparently negotiations with the landlord failed. I'm not sure why you'd want to find a new tennant in this market after seventeen years of steady checks when places in that neighborhood are turning over faster than ever. Sigh.<br /><br />Last chance to grab a Blue Max!<br /></stripped>]]></description>

When I crave a burger, I go to Pete's on Irving and 18th. Love the atmosphere—and the burger is huge, overflowing with juices, and quite flavorful—really hits the spot! I have become addicted to this accompaniment: add salt to burger, take the side of cole slaw, slop on top, then slice the pickle thinly and lay across. No ketchup...try it...it's great!</stripped>]]></description>

       <description><![CDATA[<stripped>I started my little farming experiment before the 'food crisis' became an issue, but I'm sincerely glad of it now.  To date I've only harvested potatoes, carrots, shallots, radishes and herbs, but I'm sure it's saved me some money.   I've been buying meat and eggs from local farmers, far better quality at an equal or lesser price.  Check out <a href="http://www.localharvest.org/">localharvest.org</a> for a farm near you!  If you have any access to sunlight, even on a balcony, you can grow some veg.  My BF grew up in NYC.  Her mother grew tomatoes and basil in garbage bag lined laundry baskets on their balcony, that's gotta save a few bucks.<br /><p><stripped>Play with your food it's cute!</stripped></p></stripped>]]></description>

       <title>The Dirty Deli is CLOSING!!!!!</title>

<P>The Soho Natural, aka The Dirty Deli on Spring and Greene is closing!  Apparently the deli can no longer afford the lease, which explains they're penny pinching and high prices.  The saddest part is that this Deli is always reliable, and while it appears dirty, everything from here is always yummy and fresh.  Local residents are in an uproar -"Where will I get my morning coffee?  My office is across the street!" cries Linda Maglionico, a resident photo rep.  "But, where will we get our bagels from?" moans Priscilla Hankins, a local sales person from a high end boutique in the hood.</P>
<P>Neighborhood-ers are very sad and are already mourning the loss of their Dirty Deli.  Soon we will have to find a new place to buy breakfast and lunch and afternoon snacks.  Oh where oh where will we go?!?!?!?</P>
<P>Tears.<BR /><BR /></P>

       <title>Broadcast Yourself!</title>
       <pubDate>Tue, 13 May 2008 09:33:33 -0400</pubDate>
       <author>dB.</author>
       <description><![CDATA[<stripped><P>If you're in my friends list on FoodCandy, you should have already received this as a <STRONG><EM>broadcast </EM></STRONG>last week. It's time to roll this out officially.</P>
<P>Broadcasts are pretty cool: they go to your friends only. So you can notify your friends about something worthy going on in a couple of clicks. Use the <IMG src="/images/account/broadcast.gif" /><STRONG>Broadcast</STRONG> button under <A href="/AccountManage.aspx"><STRONG><FONT color="#000080">Me Me</FONT></STRONG></A> to send a message to your friends. And you can also broadcast random pages on FoodCandy by clicking <STRONG>Broadcast</STRONG> links available all around the site (eg., broadcast an interesting event or a blog post).</P>
<P>The system is based on the unified RSS platform that powers all FoodCandy subscriptions, so you can unsubscribe from broadcast updates by clicking on <A href="/AccountRssWatchsManage.aspx"><STRONG><FONT color="#0000ff">Subscriptions</FONT></STRONG></A> in Me Me. There's one caveat: in order to block someone specific from your broadcasts you have to de-friend them. They don't get notified, but they might notice that they are no longer friends with you.</P>
<P>cheers<BR />dB.</P>
