      Adding too much salt is a tough one. If it's a savory dish, try a little acid - lemon juice or a dash of apple cider or white wine vinegar. If it's a sweet dish, like a baked good, it's going to be a little harder to fix because of the chemistry of baking. Again, a little dash of acid can help, but take it slowly so you don't screw up your ratios. It's cliched advice, but remember: you can always add more of an ingredient, not less.

      It's not unsanitary unless the fat has gone rancid (sour and slimy). This is more commonly done with chicken fat (called schmaltz) or duck fat because the flavor is a little more subtle but you can do it with bacon grease. I'd just maybe try to filter out any little burnt bacon bits that could turn the grease bitter.

      And to cut down on saturated fats and cholesterol a little, maybe only use 1/2 bacon grease 1/2 olive or vegetable oil in your cooking.

      My favorite is thick toasted bread (like a ciabatta), mayo, lots of salt and pepper, a thick slice of summer tomato, and some crunchy salad greens. Bacon optional.

      Oh boy. This is tough, my tastes change like crazy. I can always go for xiaolongbao - steamed Chinese soup dumplings. Now you've got me seriously craving some dim sum. Argh.

      What's your favorite meal?

      Of course! I freely admit to keeping an emergency box of macaroni and cheese around. Everyone's got a guilty pleasure.

      Okay, for reals?

      My absolute favorite guilty pleasure food is Kraft Mac'n'Cheese. I love the shit out of that bright orange pasta. I am not at all ashamed to admit that I love Kraft's mac in particular, although I have weaned myself to the slightly less guilt-inducing Annie's Organic, which really is just as good. Almost.

      hello, anonymous person who seems to know a lot about my life. the comedy class i'm taking at the 92Y is, so far, fun. i concentrated in screenwriting in film school and it feels so good to have writing assignments again, which probably sounds very weird.

      i don't think it will have much of a direct effect on working class foodies, but hopefully it'll get me started on a second draft of a feature i've been meaning to revisit for awhile. yay, writing!

      <3 you for asking this. it's definitely something i'm putting together, if only in my head for right now. book proposals are intense!

      Is this a riddle?

      Do you have a microwave? Because I'd say either get creative with cooking in a microwave (not by eating frozen/packaged foods! at least not all the time!) or go raw.

      Very simply: with lots of garlic, hot pepper, and fresh thyme fried in just enough butter and olive oil, and steamed in lots of white wine or a good Belgian beer. Frites are great but with this combo I prefer a really big hunk of a good, crusty sourdough or peasant bread to sop up the briney broth. And you?
