    commented on In a jam.

    In 2008 or so, I was going to visit my parents and taking them a gift of some apricot jam I had made. I managed to get it through by opening and tasting the sealed jar :(

    commented on Our Mark Bittman app is tops.

    Once again, I’m going to enter a plea for an android version! :)

    commented on Bubbly bonanza.

    or one could just drink seltzer water! or mix seltzer with juice to make your own ‘soda’. much cheaper and more enjoyable to my mind.

    commented on Quartering a turkey.

    Great idea. I can break down a chicken no sweat, this would be great esp as i would really like to make some turkey stock :) (curried turkey soup! delicious)

    commented on How to bake eggs.

    That looks wonderful. Great breakdown, thanks for all the pictures. Any measurements on how much cream to add? My ramekins are rather small, do you think halving the recipe to one egg would work with the temperatures and times?

    commented on Seeing pink.

    I have been having so much trouble finding a good rose wine. Sadly, any bottle I pick out ends up being way too sweet to stomach. Thanks for the suggestions, I will keep an eye out for them!

    commented on Rhubarb Custard Pie.

    I just made this :) I followed the editors notes for a less sweet, firmer pie (Although I only had 4.5 cups of rhubarb after it all was chopped, and it only needed 45 min, my oven runs hot, and I added a lattice crust). So good! Seriously, this may be the best pie I’ve made to date!

    It would be wonderful if you developed a version of this app for droid! :) just sayin...

    commented on Eating up 'Eating In'.

    On our honeymoon, my husband and I rented a place with a teeny, tiny kitchen in Aptos. The second day there we found a fantastic little grocery store, and that night cooked one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Maybe it was the company, but that night almost outshone the meal we had at the end of the trip at the Ritz-Carlton Dining Room in SF. So, yeah, I’d say it was pretty good :)

    Also, on our first date (well, first date the second time around, long story), he took me home and fed me homemade spaghetti with zucchini and that’s how I knew it was serious :)

    commented on Triple-washed?.

    Re-washing the greens won’t do much. The amount of agitation required to actually remove the microbes would pretty much destroy the lettuce. Triple washed greens probably don’t have any residual soil, it’s more that coliform bacteria are ‘sticky’. I’ll agree it’s plenty gross that there are high levels of coliforms on the lettuce. But telling people to wash the lettuce is just a placebo. I think a better focus would be to look at the water that is being used in the fields. And to face the fact that, living on earth, we are going to be surrounded with coliforms 99.99999% of the time.

    commented on My inner Child.

    In highschool, I had to make a christmas dish for my 3rd year french class. I loved that class, and was determined to impress my beloved teacher with something truly french. So my mother pulled Julia’s ‘Mastering the Art’ off the shelf and I picked Creme Bavarois A L’orange. And it was so much work (although mom did most!), I think it took two full days. Very persnickity. But unmolding that opaque, trembly vaguely-jello like thing to the astonishment of my classmates - I’ll never forget how proud I was. And it tasted like nothing else I’ve ever had :) So this story really makes sense to me. It is NOT about easy. It’s about being the best you can be.

    commented on Miso mashup.

    Well, I’ve never cooked with miso before but I’ve been wanting to for a while. When I saw miso at the Berkeley Bowl after reading this article it just seemed like fate.

    Molly, I made the bok choy dish you suggested, and oh my! My husband and I loved it :) Thank you!

    commented on the food I just can't learn to like.

    broccoli. I eat it, and actually don’t completely loath it now, but the prejudices of childhood remain strong!

    Kim - my husband agrees with you on the celery! :)
