I want the molecular gastronomy kit too! Excellent round-up of links in general.

Emily – Apparently they are doing this in an effort to bring down the price of housing, which I can understand. The apartment we stayed in would have be worth the equivalent of about 2 million dollars.

Roasted peppers: I’ve tried lots of methods for roasting peppers and my favorite is the Cooks Illustrated method, which can be done in a gas or electric oven.

They cut off the tops and bottoms of the peppers (cut out the stem and you can use both the top and bottom) and then slit the peppers down the side. Remove the seeds & membranes and press the pepper walls flat. Lay the top, bottom, and walls on a foil-lined, broiler-safe pan and broil on high until they’re blackened, about five minutes depending on your broiler. Remove them from the oven and lift the edges of the foil and seal the peppers in it like a package (if this sounds to burn-prone, dump them into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap). Let them sit for 15 minutes to steam and then peel off the skins. Yum!

You and me both about the molecular gastronomy kit. I’ve been eyeing it forever, but haven’t been quite ready to take the plunge.

I made bacon ice cream this weekend. Funny thing for a vegetarian to do, but the meat eaters thought it was terrific.
