1) Harry Potter 1-4

I would have bought your Contour so hard. I loved those Cougars and those wheels.

I just really, really would brine chicken any other way and just eat the feta. I could eat a big square of feta like a sandwich. I have eaten a big square of feta like a sandwich. Except without bread. Just a big square of feta cut off of a block. Only God can judge me.

1lb of thick breast or breast tenders, 6?…

Ran into some insanity yesterday at work. Here are the results.

Sort of related, re: turn signals:

I had a beautiful black 1988 Cougar XR-7 (I put a lot of work into that car, but RWD and a huge heavy V8 couldn’t save me from New England winters). It had cornering lamps. Pictured here, I guess not every ‘88 had them (An optional lighting package). I wonder why we don’t see those…

According to the Royal Society of Chemistry, the average toast sandwich contains 330 Calories.

Not having much luck searching other than this one from AllRecipes.

How do you make it? I’m a bit insipid about adding something that has ingredients I can’t pronounce, to something I’ve been honing for almost 2 decades. Maybe it’s just one of those special occassion things?

Italian dressing is also the key to every pasta salad recipe made by everyone’s aunt.

Cacio e pepe (meaning “cheese and pepper”) is the simplest of dishes where pasta is tossed with Pecorino Romano, pepper, and good olive oil

Well you’re in luck! Serious Eats has a recipe for you.

I bounce back and forth between a few - my girlfriend does Whole30 every other month or so, so I can’t use artificial sweeteners or even honey. A couple re-hydrated figs work really well as replacements, and a lot of those recipes include them as a core ingredient.

I like this recipe from Epicurious. I’ll run the…

You are just determined to be grumpy today, aren’t you? Cooking and tasting is about searching out things you like. Writers like Claire - more specifically, blogs like this - aren’t here to handhold you. They’re guiding you along the path.

Look, I’m not on a commission from Gawker/Skillet. But I throw quality posts…

If it premieres this winter, I want to try making vanilla/cinnamon chai shakes. I already promised my girlfriend that we’d have beignets w/sidecars of chocolate sauce and creme anglaise.

I love the idea of adding the slightly bitter, herbal liqueur

Immersion blender ketchup is so good you guys. you won’t even miss Heinz. A few things if you don’t already own one of these though:

This is a good way to save up some of those fruit scraps you might have lying around.

Don’t thank me! Thank Pope Kenji.
