| Penang Curry at Cafe de Laos |
| Foodaphilia |
Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.
- E from Foodaphilia cheats on her longtime love, Erawan Thai Cuisine, with Cafe de Laos on Washington Ave. Though the corn cakes are found wanting, massaman curry, tom yum soup and a nubile young coconut ice cream make this a fling to revisit. Midnight booty call, perhaps?
- Lew Bryson of Seen Through a Glass pushes back at Gov. Rendell's latest revenue-producing idea: raise beer excise taxes in PA. His letter to the editor was published in the Inquirer on Feb. 17. Legislators around the country seek to raise "sin taxes" with boring predictability in times of budget crisis: Check out Oregon's proposed 1,900 percent beer tax increase.
- Local writers Tara Mataraza Desmond and Joy Manning's book Almost Meatless: Recipes That Are Better for Your Health and the Planet is doneski, and Serious Eats is giving them away! Enter to win a copy here, by telling Serious Eats all about your favorite meatless dish in the comments
- Livin' on the Vedge-er Kelly White wins for Most Cringe-Inducing Valentine's Day Post. Her exhaustively thorough recap of two vegetarians eating Mi Lah prior to getting it on turns normal words into phrases like this: "Just because it's Valentine's Day and he's mostly concentrated on what's underneath my napkin doesn't mean you can send out your mediocre specials." Kelly, come on, we don't want to think of you like that.
- Foodie at Fifteen has found 1,000 uses for harissa. Since it goes so well with eggs, peanuts and turkey sandwiches, the quest to "raise my smoke point" should be a lifelong journey.
