Do You Own Fashionable Servingware?
Of course! My dining and servingware is incredibly stylish.
Let's Dish: What Family Recipe Did You Love to Eat as a Kid?
Growing up, there were a few dishes that my dad cooked, and one of them was an item that my mother taught him to make: almond tofu. In retrospect, the quasi-traditional Chinese dessert, which actually contains no tofu, sounds like it came right out of a 1970s recipe book, as it was simply canned fruit syrup, cubes of almond-flavored gelatin, and pieces of canned peaches, pears, and — my favorite — cherries. But back then, whenever Dad made that dish, my heart (and stomach) would do a little dance inside.
Let's Dish: What Is Your Signature Dish?
At some point in every reality TV cooking competition the contestants are asked to make their signature dish. The dish should define their culinary point of view, highlight their skills as a chef, and be incredibly delicious.
Summing all of these things up (on one plate!) seems like a difficult task.

Pantone Mugs and Plates
As someone who understands the need to find just the right color, I find both the Pantone Palettes Dinnerware and Pantone Mugs exceptionally fabulous. My personal favorite, Pantone 021C is a vibrant orange that just screams good morning! If orange isn't your thing, then perhaps a muted cup and saucer in four shades of burnt ochre?
Simple Tip: Easy Way To Dry Wine Glasses
Drying wine glasses can sometimes be a pain. Towels can leave awful streaks and lint, and sitting them on the counter causes condensation spots to form, and besides the lip is making a perfect seal with the counter meaning there's no air coming in to help out. Just imagine, if only there was a way to get air flowing into the glass...
FantaSuteki Platters: Love Them Or Hate Them?
I found these platters over at Notcot and immediately fell in love with them. Designed by Masaru Iwata, the FantaSuteki platters appear to be plain embossed dishes, but when you add soy sauce the images appear. I love them!

Let's Dish: What's the Star of Your Thanksgiving Meal?
A fellow Sugar staffer and I were discussing the subject of stuffing versus dressing when the conversation got a little sidetracked. When I mentioned that it (whatever you want to call it!) was the star of last year's Thanksgiving meal, we started sharing the dishes we're most anticipating this holiday. For TrèsSugar, it's mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce; for PetSugar, it's apple pie.
Was This Dish Named After Someone?
Call it a predilection, an idée fixe, or simply a weird fascination, but I've always had a penchant for Continental dishes with unique names and even more intriguing histories. But it wasn't until I took the time to look up some of the foods that I realized many of the dishes aren't just named after their creator or an inspirational figure, but also other oddities, like locales, plays, and even battles.
Since many of you scored so well with your food trivia the first time around, just for kicks, I thought I'd test you again.
