toasted marshmallow milkshake
Almost exactly 5 years ago, in celebration us both signing contracts to write cookbooks, I met a friend* for lunch at a burger joint called The Stand on East 12th Street, and we finished the meal with something the menu declared a toasted marshmallow milkshake. I don’t remember a thing about the burger, but I do know that pretty much every conversation I had in the weeks that followed went like this: “The weather is so nice today!” “It would be perfect for a toasted marshmallow milkshake, don’t you think?” “How is your son sleeping these days?” “Did I tell you about this toasted marshmallow milkshake I had? Let me tell you about this toasted marshmallow milkshake I had.” “Can you believe this Deepwater Horizon mess?” “Toasted marshmallow milkshake, toasted marshmallow milkshake toasted marshmallow milkshake.” You could argue it had some impact on me.
I don’t know what happened after that. Maybe I didn’t get much sleep that year? Maybe I was busy writing a book? Maybe I was scared I couldn’t be trusted around a blender full of toasted marshmallow milkshake because things like this happen? All I know is that I failed you, failed to pave the milkshake’s path from 12th Street to your blender and now, as we approach ice cream season once again, it’s time to make things right.

5 Things I’ve Learned About Cooking for My Picky Husband — Love in the Kitchen
“Wow, you are so lucky!”
That’s the first thing everyone says to my husband, Dan, when they find out he’s married to a food writer. (The second thing they say: “How do you not weigh 500 pounds?”) Little do they know — while I get a thrill from digging into homemade bucatini with lamb Bolognese, Dan would be just as happy (if not happier) if I set a bowl of plain buttered egg noodles in front of him.
Yes, in a rom-com-style twist of fate, the food writer married a picky eater. And after 14 years of sharing our lives, I’ve come to terms with the fact that he’s probably never going to split a lobster roll with me, but that doesn’t mean I love him any less. Here’s how we both stay happy and well-fed.
Do You Have Suggestions for Long-Cooking Slow-Cooker Meals? — Good Questions
Q: My husband and I work 8+ hours with a 1 1/2 total hour commute each day. I’m gone 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or later most days.
I love my Crock-Pot, but most slow-cooker meals won’t stand up to 11 or 12 hours of cooking.
Why Toast Is My New Favorite Thing to Eat for Lunch at the Office — Delicious Links
Do you struggle with making lunch all week to take to work or school? Let me introduce you to something I’ve been really into lately: the lunch toast. Buy some bread at the beginning of the week, stash a hunk of cheese in the office fridge (if you have one), and bring a fresh topping each day to work. Ta-da!
This particular toast (or tartine) recipe sounds pretty luxurious, yet simple: Caramelized pear, brie, and honey.

“A tomato sauce recipe for mussels is great if you don’t like the usual wine recipes (like me!). There is no salt or butter. Here’s a tip to make sure mussels are fresh: tap the opening of the mussel on a hard surface, if the shell closes you’ve got yourself some nice fresh mussels!”

The Most Common Causes of Food Poisoning (and How to Treat It)
When the weather warms up, is there any lunch better than a picnic lunch? Ice-cold drinks, homemade sandwiches, and creamy potato salad, enjoyed for hours in the sunshine … wait. How long has that potato salad been sitting there in the sun?
Sadly, warmer weather also means more opportunities for the bacteria and viruses that cause foodborne illnesses to thrive on food that has been improperly prepared or stored. From shellfish to undercooked poultry, here are the most common food poisoning culprits and — if it’s already too late for you — some advice for treating foodborne illnesses.
