Sorry folks, I went upstate on Friday and was not able to post the feeder until Sunday night:
Cook, Eat, Fret has a story on why she prefers veal stock, but why she made chicken stock. While the post is assuredly a good read, I admit that I am mostly posting this for the arresting photos. All I can say is that I had no idea that chicken feet looked so much like slightly mutant humanoid hands.
Ok, this is not technically a story from the last week, but these pumpkin swirl brownies look totally ah-mazing, not to mention seasonal. [via Smitten Kitchen]
And speaking of pumpkin sweet treats: How about pumpkin maple rum cupcakes at Batch. Whoo! Them look good! I have been meaning to go there… [from Serious Eats]
I love Grub Street‘s guide for waitpeople. I agree with most everything here, especially the be “friendly, but don’t try to be friend” from the title. And, puhlease! if I pay cash and leave $60 on a $41 bill, don’t ask if I need change, just bring me the change, thanks. You have to kiss my ring to get 50% at dinner. The one thing I disagree with is that waiters ask if you want a new drink before you reach 1/3 glass. I think that is a little pushy. Whatever, read the story, it is a good one!
This goes out to a certain someone I know who believes his vote doesn’t matter on account of the electoral college system (you know who you are!): Ben & Jerry’s will give you a free scoop on election day if you show them proof that you voted. Yea! [via Midtown Lunch]
Ok, folks. I am going leaf peeping up the Hudson Valley this weekend and expect to be eatin’ some good food whilst there, so stay tuned next week!
