I May Have Grown Up, But I’ll Never Grow Out of Peanut Butter and Jelly — Life in the Kitchen
Reply
Being a food editor, people have made a lot of assumptions about the way I eat. Specifically, when I made the transition to working mostly from home, there was the general thought that I must have really upped my lunch game.
I used to laugh at the idea, but really, it depends how you look at it: I’m no longer buying questionable sandwiches from the corner deli, but I’m not cooking myself a fancy meal either. Although what I am having is something that’s truly and utterly delicious, from the first to last bite. The kind of timeless meal that has the power to make you feel good inside and out: a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

15 Ways We’ve Screwed Up in the Kitchen, and How We Fixed It — Keepin’ It Real
Show me a cook who’s never burned a pot, oversalted a dish, or forgotten to add some key ingredient, and I’ll show you an alien. Yes, that’s right — all cooks (of this world, at least) fail to get it right every once in a while. We’ve been there hundreds of times, and it’s frustrating!
But take heart: Most things can be salvaged if you’re smart about it. Here are 15 ways we’ve messed up in the kitchen, and how we fixed it.

Among frozen summer desserts, granitas are a hard sell, not matter how you rename them. A coarse, grainy sorbet, they’re the shaved ice of the Italian food world. Sure, they’re insanely refreshing, require no churning and are probably the kind of thing you ought to be cooling off with on a very hot day, but who’d choose them over hot fudge sundae cakes, toasted marshmallow milkshakes, saltine crack ice cream sandwiches or key lime pie popsicles? Nobody we’re going to be friends with, for sure.
Except, my friend Ang, who freely admits that she’s not a dessert person — and is therefore inherently suspect, I know — makes them all the time and every time she does I wonder why I don’t more often. We were halfway out the door after her crab boil last weekend with two almost melting down children* when she insisted I stop to at least try the golden raspberry granita she’d made and it was so good, I kind of wanted to run away with it.

I Ate School Lunch Growing Up, and I Turned Out Just Fine — Strong Opinions
For all of elementary and middle school, and most of high school, I ate school lunch in the cafeteria. School lunch is a touchy issue. There a lot of negative feelings toward it and a general disappointment with the American public school lunch system — a lot of it is processed, and operating budgets are tiny.
The lunches I ate growing up weren’t exactly stellar, but guess what? No permanent scars. In fact, I have quite fond memories and learned a lot from eating in the cafeteria every day.
