02.03.10Pad Thai Summer Rolls with Peanut SauceHi there, it's Tina from the Choosy Beggars acting as your host for today. When Michelle asked us if we wanted to do a guest post on TNS, my first thought was, "Of course! What fun! Absotively!!" You will note that I have immediately identified myself as the kind of person who says, "What fun" and "absotively." In the same sentence. Keep going...

02.18.09That’s right fuckers, grass and milk. Grass and milk.No one wanted to learn about this. Grass and milk, you said. We'd rather learn about a dish that looks like it has roux and/or cheese, because we love creamy delicious things, and we can't imagine that sieve of grass and milk representing anything good. Oh, ye of little faith. Granted, it's not like I'm withholding it from you entirely - although know that I could - and you're learning about it a mere day later. Unfortunately, that's one day extra that you've gone without lemongrass and black pepper infused coconut rice pudding, layered with passionfruit-coconut rice pudding. Delicious, ...

01.29.09TNS: Shabu! Shabu!BOILERPLATE: Have you heard? I’m a finalist in the 2009 Bloggies. Best-Kept Secret Blog! No shitting. I’ve added a new page to the site specifically to showcase my best work pander for votes. Four more days! I know there are no exclamation points in the actual name of the dish, but I'm just so filled! With joy! And delicious flavor! And from the unlikeliest of sources: Prince of Botox Rocco DiSpirito, the Cosimo di'Medici of frozen Bertoli pasta dinners. Did you know that before he became a corporate shill and reality television famewhore star, he ...

12.04.08Thursday Night Smackdown: Whores de OrveesYou can't go wrong with the Barefoot Contessa, you just can't; and that Charlie Palmer can whip up a mean citrusy Asian sauce. Unfortunately, you can go hella wrong with bipolar disorder. You may have noticed a lack of recipe posts and an upswing in bullshitty posts, and it's because things are just weird and unstable around here. Y'all are awesome for getting into the non-foodie posts too, but don't think I haven't noticed and don't want things to get back to normal around here. Tonight is not the night that will happen, though: it's late, and actively working to ...

08.29.08Thursday Night Smackdown: Hurry, man, before there’s still time.When will smackdown get better?* It's sad, really, because any dinner was bound to be a let down after last night's tomatogasm. I'm still reeling a little, and I spent the whole day cornering co-workers and forcing them to listen to me monologue about tomatoes as they nodded politely (the co-workers, not the tomatoes). Still, this dinner, taken from The New Best Recipe, challenged another one of my food prejudices: pad Thai. It also made most of my block smell like fermented shrimp because I had all the windows open while I cooked, and for that I'm truly sorry. *I'm trying, ...

06.19.08Thursday Night Smackdown: Maybe Fish Sauce Isn’t Entirely EvilI don't want to harp, really, but I do feel that I must state here again that I do NOT own a mandolin. I finally got a copy of Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges, and immediately wanted pretty much everything in it. I was going to do the peking duck, because yum, but the directions instructed me to hang the glazed raw duck from a hook overnight in the fridge, where you've also placed a small battery-powered fan to keep air moving around the duck. Thanks for adapting that recipe for the home cooks with normal-sized refrigerators* at ...
