Music To Wake Up To
July 30th, 2010How to Peel and Devein Shrimp
July 29th, 2010“First things first: If you’ve been buying pre-cooked shrimp or even peeled and deveined shrimp, stop right this instant! I mean it!
Pre-cooked shrimp are unfailingly pre-overcooked-shrimp, and are impossible to add flavor to the way you can with raw shrimp. Shrimp that are raw but peeled and deveined are a small step up, but often get mangled and beat up in the cleaning. You are much better off buying whole, headless shrimp (or at the very least E-Z peel) and cleaning them yourself. It’s a little more work, but worth the effort. This video will show you everything you need to know.”

M. Wells Diner in Long Island City: Beyond Dressed-Up Diner Food?
July 28th, 2010“It’s not often that a diner in Queens attracts city-wide media attention—but M. Wells, recently opened in a somewhat barren stretch of Long Island City, is no ordinary diner. Opened by husband-and-wife partners Hugue Dufour and Sarah Obraitis—the former, of hot-ticket Montreal restaurant Au Pied de Cochon, the latter, a Queens native—the diner has already been written up by outlets from the New York Times to the Wall Street Journal.

July 27th, 2010It’s been hot, really hot. Last thing on my mind is spending hours in a kitchen that’s twice as hot. Ick. So when I stumbled upon this article I was thrilled to find someone else who shared the same views as myself.
“In the summertime, there’s no shortage of reasons not to cook. There’s the heat, for one thing. When you live in a veritable oven, why turn on another one? There’s the desire to escape to the lake, the beach, the mountains, or the industrially air-conditioned library.”
