I stumbled across Trader Joe’s UFO’s last time I was there. There are very tasty and for $3.99 a bag, a steal in my opinion (they’ll last you a while).  Try them in brownies, when making chocolate buttercream frosting or have a few as an after dinner treat.  They are great!

Starting tomorrow, La Palapa starts serving its Cinco de Mayo special menu.  Frozen watermelon margaritas will go well with ceviche blanco de camaron y coco – it’s shrimp ceviche the color of the Mexican flag!  One of my Palapa favorites is the setas a la diabla, mushrooms sauteed with ancho chile.  For Cinco festivities, the [...]

Well, because The Dish’s Dish is supplying all these sweeties with our special Chocolate Skipping Stones for the event.  Should give them enough energy (re: caffeine and sugar) to sustain them while [...]

Today I discovered food.com.  What is this?  It’s a handy little application that lets you search through recipes indexed from the best recipe sources on the web, and allows you to store the ones you like – all in one place.  The ‘net, not being my strong suit, I decided to try my best to [...]

The Dish’s Dish will have a presence at the Brooklyn Food Conference on Saturday May 2!  What is the BFC, you may be asking. Well, it’s a day of events, panels, nibblings and workshops about food – how we eat, what we eat, how we can eat better and what we can do within the [...]
