Homemade yogurt -- my first attempt

also: if you're using fage whole percent yoghurt with only skim milk, that's definitely not going to give you thicker youghurt. try organic whole milk, instead.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 24: How Often Should I Weigh Myself?

If anything, you should just check how your pants fit you. Scales are misleading, depending on time of day, water weight, etc. It's best to just choose a certain pair of pants to use as a yard-stick and see how they fit once a week, and step on a scale maybe once a month. It may not give you the instant re-enforcement that you need, but it doesn't disappoint you as quickly either. Stepping on a scale every day will definitely not lead to lasting weight loss, as it makes you second guess every food decision and create false ideas of what may or may not be weighing you down.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 23: The Peanut Butter Conundrum

If you keep weighing yourself you're going to go crazy! Just check how your pants fit. One pound is very debatable. Also: if you look at celebrity diets, like madonna or gwen paltrow, they eat peanut butter. (though I think it's because they need more protein)

Cook the Book: Grill Every Day

Grilled corn, and a fruit salad that requires you to shake the cobwebs off your melon-baller.

Cook the Book: 'Screen Doors and Sweet Tea'

Clerico- a kind of white wine sangria that uses bananas and green grapes. I always order this in Buenos Aires when I can!

i love this show. there is nothing better than waking up to jamie oliver on a saturday morning, as he bakes rustic pies with his adorable lisp.

sigh. this is my evolution from saturday morning cartoons.

On Banning Photography from Restaurants

I agree with what Alaina says about photos being anti-social. It's like whenever I go on a trip with my parents and they make me pose in front of everything- it takes me out of the experience and just makes me hungry and grumpy.

And yeah, you could try and use a small camera and no flash, but it usually ends up looking crappy anyway unless you photoshop the hell out of it, so what's the point? unless you have a sweet rig (SLR, manual, etc.), it doesn't look food porny enough, and those are the most obnoxious ones of all. I think food bloggers are going to have to start becoming more stealthy, or more conscious of the correct time and place, *coughRobyncough*.

About parkrangerolivia

Website: http://www.googly-eyes.com

Location: New York City

About: I like food.
Probably not so much as eating out and keeping up with chefs, as just reading cookbooks and making simple, healthy meals. I would have to say my favorite cookbooks right now are anything be Nigella Lawson, and Amy Sedaris' "I Like You".

Favorite foods: BUBBLE TEA.
Ramen, anything Persian, Soup/Salad/Sandwich combos, cranberries, manchego, greek yoghurt, mint chocolate chip ice cream, blackberries and cherries, arugula/roquefort/bartlett pear salads.

Last bite on earth: Baked eggplants with caramelized onions and currants, just like my mom makes them. With a glass of doogh.
