This is TMI about you and Hank.

Hardly surprising. But the original never had any photos at all.

I guess it would be embarrassing to admit than when I first stumbled across Julia's autobiography in the bookstore, I glanced at the cover and thought wow, Julia Child really does resemble Meryl Streep.

Something other than the mental image of Hank in nothing but a strand of pearls. Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

TMI. These euphemisms about you and Hank are pretty nauseating. Please refrain from posting them on the food boards, merci.

I was leafing through a magazine (some Martha Stewart Living offshoot) at an appointment today and saw a recipe for vegetarian pot stickers that sounded DESHISHIS. They definitely involved mushrooms and scallions, and perhaps some ginger, but I wouldn't swear about the ginger. However, I don't seem to be able to find anything comparable on the internet, and most of the recipes I find have pig in them, and I don't eat of the pig.

Anyone know of a good recipe? I have many particular cravings at the moment, and right now, I am obsessed with pot-sticker consumption. Can anyone help a gal out?

Is this it, by any chance?

Dude, that's it!! How did you find that? I even went to the Martha Stewart site and used the recipe finder.

My google fu is pathetic.

Thank you, man.

Anytime.

googled "martha stewart recipe magazine"; selected the 2d result, b/c it looked more likely; searched for potsticker in the recipe search box.

Last night I had the most fantastic blueberry pie. And it left me wondering this: What's the secret to making a berry pie that is not all liquidy? How does one thicken the juice that will come off the berries, without making a pie that taste like cornstarch?

Adequate slightly sour berries, sugar, and not too much cornstarch. The whole reason for using cornstarch is that you need 1/10 the amount of cornstarch than you'd need with flour (and flour makes perfectly good apple pies, but for berries you need more thickening).

Also, try cooking a few berries with sugar and the cornstarch first, to get the thickening going, and then mix it in.

The sour berries have a stronger berry flavor and aren't as full of juice as the fully ripe ones, so you get denser pie.
