As turkey day approaches, people go wild over deep-frying the entire bird. Here is one fire department's "DOs and DON'Ts" for avoiding a holiday catastrophe. Stumbled across this video on Eatmedaily.com which features 8 other videos of turkeys bursting into flames.

Top Chef: Buh-bye Robin
Justice is at long last restored. Robin was sent packing. All is right in the world now... The End.
**But, at least she had a good hair day on her final appearance. As far as female faux-hawks go, it was working for her! Watch "The Morning After" video for her take on Tom's height and Padma's jokey nature. Somewhat interesting.

Elvie's Filipino Joint: Peaced, Dunzo, Kaput
Another economic casualty has struck the East Village... and among MY people. Elvie's was the only Filipino joint that I had eaten at multiple times. Multiple times, because of the familiar food that reminded me of my grandmother's cooking, but mostly because the dread and laziness associated with the train ride to Queens/Jersey City to eat REAL Filipino food was unfathomable. Will miss the pinakbet... Paalam na, Elvie's.

Banana Meatloaf
Maybe it's because of my chronic seasonal affective disorder or my botched Halloween bacon costume from the weekend, but I have been hankering after comfort food all week. And what embodies comfort food like no other dish? Meatloaf!
I came across a novelty recipe for Banana Meatloaf posted on the Retro Recipes feature for Eatmedaily.com, originally published in 1941 by a fruit purveyor to hawk more bananas. Not sure if it will satiate my cravings, but I dig the old-timey anthropomorphization of the banana.
"Recipe: Banana Meat Loaf
From Bananas: How To Serve Them, 1941
1 pound ground beef
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup mashed banana
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Mix the beef, crumbs, onion, salt and pepper until fully incorporated. Add the mustard to the mashed banana and mix into beef. Pack into oiled loaf pan and bake at 350 for one hour, or until cooked through."

Restaurant Wars
...is only the best part of every season of Top Chef. The fiery power plays, the execution disasters, to serve dessert or not serve dessert--the culinary intrigue is practically excruciating. Kudos to "Revolt"-- the V-bros, chubby Eli, and, yes, even annoying Robin deserve the victory. However, seeing Mission lose was disappointing. Admittedly, the way Jennifer pronounces "salad" irks me to no end, but there is no contesting that the Le Bernardin alum is an incredibly accomplished chef. My heart sank when she started to choke under pressure. Her sauce broke!!! Her dish was beige!!! She cooked the shellfish to order!!! Technically, she should have gone home, but so relieved when the ax fell on Laurine, who, let's face it, has sucked for weeks.
If you watch Top Chef, then you have to start watching "The Morning After" videos. Love.
