From what I remember from various documentaries and old classes, if humans were not omnivorous, we never would have evolved to our current stage (especially in the brain department). Question is... now that we are here, do we stop eating meat for ethical reasons? Is there a long term evolutionary consequence to such a choice?
- Adrian Culici
We could certainly as a nation/species stand to eat substantially less meat (I'm worship Michael Pollan, read Omnivores Dilemma and In Defense of food. Go Go), that being said, unless you live in a modern society with the ability to import out of season foods and a metric ass load of money to waste, it's literally impossible to be healthy on meat-free diet. There just isn't enough stuff...

On a whim, I made mac and cheese with a classic French béchamel sauce instead of my old recipe. The verdict? Vive la France.

What's a bechamel sauce?
- Alex Scoble
@Alex - It's creamy sauce stuff, I can't really describe the taste of it, but it's not cheesy.
- Tyson Key
Cool
- Alex Scoble
If I remember correctly, it's an ingredient in lasagne, too.
- Tyson Key
It's basically a sauce made from a roux (equal parts butter and flour), stirred and cooked until smooth, then you add milk, bring to a simmer and there you go. I added finely diced onion, a little paprika, and a pinch of dry mustard, before adding the cheese and cooking it until smooth again. Fold in your macaroni, spoon it into a baking dish and bake for a half hour. Should be ready in about five minutes. :)

Dude, I want Derrick's food. It always sounds delicious.

We won a week's stay at an apt in Paris (in a charity auction raffle - half a block from Notre Dame!) when our kids were in ninth and third grades, respectively, so we knew we were going to be eating cafe food all week - no sense wasting money on haute cuisine for kids that age. Well, the best mac and cheese we ever ate was in those corner cafes! I bet anything, Derrick, that your recipe was essentially what we were eating, except maybe with Gruyere . . .
- Mary Baum
Mary, my dream is go to France for a few months and learn classic French techniques in the kitchen. The sauces, croissants, pastries, chocolate. Maybe someday. :)

Don't you have a (somewhat shorter, perhaps) trip planned for the next several months to a year?

Planning on going next summer for maybe ten to fourteen days? It'll be my first trip there.
- Derrick

- Mary Baum
I already do! :D
- Derrick
That's how I've always made my mac & cheese, minus the onion and paprika, and with regular mustard instead of powder. What's your usual method, Derrick?
- Mellissa Doyle
I've made a very similar mac'n'cheese, Derrick. It takes work, but it's so delicious, I'll never make it any other way.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
Melissa, I used to cook the mac, drain it. add the cheese and a little milk and whisked in a bit of flour and let it come up to a simmer. Certainly a variation on a béchamel, but something I've been making since I was maybe 15 or so? I like this new way, if only for making me feel like I'm learning something that people have been doing tried and true for a couple hundred years. :D
- Derrick
That basic white sauce (before the addition of cheese, paprika, etc) is the basis of some of my best sauces. Of course, it is the main ingredient in my fave french dish, Croque Monsieur. I've also on occasion used wholemeal flour to make the roux - it's difficult to avoid it becoming too sticky, but when it works it has a really interesting flavour
- Slippy 2.0
That's how I always make my macaroni and cheese. I wasn't aware of alternatives...how did you do it before?

that was GOOD :) thanks, D!

For the last three decades, DJs have had a little trick in their back pocket guaranteed to fill a dance floor: When all else fails, play Michael Jackson. DJ Paul V. put this theory to the test at the inaugural edition of Swagger, a new weekly Sunday afternoon post-brunch party at the Barbarella Bar on Hyperion (in the old Zen Sushi space). A mega-mix of MJ hits elicited a swarm of bodies onto the makeshift dance floor at the back of the bar, led by Paul Grillo, replete in a powder-blue Farrah Fawcett T-shirt.

"Come on, it's time to party!" he shouted to no one in particular. The boisterous crowd seemed to agree. While a birthday party was in full swing in the front patio area, a gang of guys milled around the bar, taking in the scene and indulging in the exotic beers on tap. The waitresses clad in their Barbarella uniforms of short shorts and corset-like tops seem especially relaxed during...

"In Silver Lake, the tradition for gay guys is the old-fashioned beer bust at places like the Eagle and Faultline," explains Paul V. over the phone from his home in the area.

Plus Barbarella has really good food."...

THE minute they pulled into the driveway, Christina Salway and John Moskowitz knew they had found their house. “It was perfect for us, with all its imperfections,” said Ms. Salway, a 26-year-old interior designer. “The place had been abandoned for two years and had literally gone to seed. But we could see the little house had great bones.” The structure was basically sound, and the plumbing and heating worked. Priced out of the New York City real estate market, the couple rent an apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. They decided to make their first home purchase a weekend house in the Catskills.

They had looked at about 30 houses during a four-month hunt for a country home last summer, and finally closed on the two-bedroom, one-bath home for $95,000 last September. Along with the house, a 700-square-foot 1920s cottage, the property in Sparrow Bush, a village in Orange County, N.Y., includes eight and a half wooded acres and a detached garage/barn 800 feet from the house.

“That’s the luxury of being a young, first-time home buyer,” Ms. Salway said. “It was empowering to see what we could do.” They very much wanted to “build” a home together and during their search realized all they could afford was a wreck. “We knew we were really capable people,” Ms. Salway said. “Even using power tools did not intimidate us.” With a budget of $10,000, the couple worked...

Melissa, Carlos Ayala, Anna Haro and 6 other people liked this
WHETHER the Parisian bistro is dead depends largely on how you define “bistro.” If you need pigeonholes for your napkins, no wine choices because the owner’s brother-in-law makes Beaujolais, a dependable blanquette de veau every Tuesday, and the neighborhood plumber sitting in the corner, you’re out of luck. But if you want a small, cozy place, reasonably comfortable, with reliable and affordable food, it may be that the choices are better than they have been in years.
- Derrick
That’s my experience, anyway. The food in the places discussed here is often inventive but never silly, with the occasional deconstructed classic making an appearance, but a sound one. The atmosphere is friendly enough. You don’t sit shoulder to shoulder with your neighbors as you do in the ostensibly old-fashioned bistros (no one really likes that, do they?), and the places are often...
