Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip It’s time for a little confession. I realize this may get me shunned (especially in my hometown of Pittsburgh!), but….I don’t like football. I don’t like to watch it, I never liked playing football with my friends, I don’t even like playing catch with a football. If there was one thing Mike could change about me, I’m pretty sure this would be it.

Penne a la Betsy! Ah, is there anything sweeter on earth than having your punk-arse little sister visit? Mine’s visiting this week, which means I’ve totally regressed back to childhood and the water’s great! We’ve sipped wine, laughed until we’ve experienced stress incontinence, and cooked until our fingers are pruney and falling off our hands. untitled From the molten yolk and bacon crunch of a hand-held breakfast, to the gooey charm of grilled cheese for lunch, nothing matches the simple pleasures of well-made sandwiches.

When buying either wild or farmed fish, ask whether it is sustainably sourced.

Hot cocoa cookies I am a teeny bit obsessed with the cookies from the most recent issue of EveryDay with Rachael Ray magazine. This recipe is the second of many cookie recipes on my list to make this holiday season. Sweets are taking over my life! Just ask my coworkers. They get my leftovers, and I think they are starting to resent the way I am forcing them to eat sinful treats. Mozzarella Stuffed Homemade Meatballs 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 pound lean ground beef 1 large egg 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion Cornmeal and Brown Sugar Crusted Bacon As any of you who have been reading this blog for more than a week or so know, I have a love affair going on with bacon that is on the level of Scarlett and Rhett, or at least the cute guy from Love Actually who is head over heels for Keira Knightley. My love is true and ever-lasting, and I will put bacon in anything from cinnamon rolls to pralines. Some of my friends are a little concerned about me (you know who you are!) but hey, when it comes to bacon, I gotta be me.

Japanese Curry Rice Aya Tanaka grew up eating Japanese curry in Brazil. When she's not cooking or parenting, she teaches eighteenth-century travel literature to undergraduates and researches early modern spice trade routes. This week she introduces Serious Eaters to the joys of making and eating Japanese curry rice. [Photograph: No Recipes]
