Spike's Scallops from Top Chef

Well, he tried.

Were they calico scallops or sea scallops?

I'm picky about seafood and don't care for scallops. However ...

In my Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook, coquilles saint-jacques with champagne sounds ultimate! His recipe calls for sea scallops. More pricey but worth it.

Spike would have won if he made them like Bourdain's recipe :-)

This is the best cookbook!

Cheers ~

I found this article in the Beauty News section of my magazine.

Well what do you know. The magical wonders of fruit of the earth.

Durian extract is found to reduce the appearance of wrinkles!

New York Pizza - which one?

I'll be in New York City for the first time in 10 days and want to eat some famous pizza! Just a simple kind like Margarita. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Jack in the Box Nacho Cheeseburger

Gross.

I guess if I were drunk and starving, I could eat one.

In reality, I think I'd rather go for the two tacos for 99 cents. Sloppy and so crunchy!

Starbucks' Vivanno Vs. Jamba Juice Smoothies

I had a coupon for a free Vivanno/whatever. Tried the orange mango. Didn't like it. Too thick and milky.

Never tried a Jamba Juice smoothie but then I'm not a smoothie kind of person.

Think I'll just stick with my tall coffee with a little half and half.

Is it Rude to Eat on Mass Transit?

On the city bus - yes - I think it's rude to eat. You're not supposed to be people do it anyway.

The last thing I want to hear when I ride the bus is munching and crunching and slurping from some slob in the next seat.

One time I was riding the bus and some old guy with a big beard and a big backpack sat down near me. He got up to leave and a minute later I noticed a big pile of shredded chicken on the seat, crumbs, an empty bag on the floor next to what looked like - I swear - a slab of raw duck meat!

As I'm getting off at my stop, a lady made the comment to the bus driver, "man, looks like a vulture was eatin back there." It was actually funny.

Cook the Book: 'Margaritas, Mojitos & More'

I've never had a mojito but love Margaritas

I'd have to say the only garnish I like in a blended Margarita is the salt on the rim of the glass.

Some tortilla chips and salsa on the side and it's a good day.

Creme Brulee Recipe Confusion

Creme Brulee is the best!

The recipe from my Anthony Bourdain Les Halles Cookbook is the only one I use and recommend. :-)

(Serves 6)

1 quart heavy cream
1 vanilla bean
6 ounces of granulated sugar
10 egg yolks
6 tbsp of brown sugar

You'll need six 8-oz ramekins. Fill and place in a baking pan (9 by 13 inch) filled with water so that it comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins. 300 degree oven for 45 min.

My favourite cookbook....

coffee

I rarely make my own coffee - that's boring. My Kitchenaid and Mr. Coffee hibernate up in the cupboard.

My everyday usual at the coffee shop is just a regular cup of coffee with a little half and half. Sometimes I have a double tall latte.

Jack in the Box Nacho Cheeseburger

I love Jack in the Box. The two tacos deal is awesome. And I do like the Ultimate Cheeseburger. The cheese to meat to bun ratio is very balanced. I hope they follow through with their plan to go national.

The Next Food Network Star's Lisa Garza: Love Her or Hate Her?

Unattractive and talentless women are very good at spewing hatred. Lisa is the moral winner. Aaron was inarticulate, boring and his food was unimaginative and uninspiring. I and my GF love lisa and her restaurant.

Some vegetables love sandy soil so what's your point?

She wants to have a farm on the beach? Does she have any idea how vegetables grow?

The Next Food Network Star's Lisa Garza: Love Her or Hate Her?

I think Lisa is a beautiful, intelligent young woman who is knowledgable about food and is an excellent cook. I have to say that I am surprised at how nasty so many people are when posting about her. It kind of freaks me out that a cooking show host contest can generate so much poison.

I commend all the contestants. Some have far more stage presence than others, but all brought something unique to the show and all, it appears, are good cooks.

It may not be commonplace to see ladies wearing designer clothes and shoes in the kitchen, but the lady turned out wonderful food without getting a spot on her clothing. We could all take a lesson from her. It isn't a sin to look nice in the kitchen (or anywhere for that matter). Beats the heck out of jeans and flip flops all the time.

I am sorry. I am not paying $18 for a hamburger. $10 is the limit.
