Thomas DekkerSometimes I think celebrities should just keep some comments to themselves when they leave a TV show.

Thomas Dekker, who played Zach during the first season of Heroes and now plays John Connor on The Sarah Connor Chronicles, tells Life & Style that he thinks the relationship between 30 year-old Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia and 18 year-old Hayden Panettiere is “creepy.” He says that the two dating would be like him dating a 12 year-old.

onions and pantyhose
This might be something that everyone else and their mothers (and likely, grandmothers) already knows, but since there has been all of about three occasions in my entire lifetime that I’ve ever worn pantyhose, I didn’t know that you can use them to store onions.

Apparently, onions will stay fresh for six months if you store them in this way:

  1. Take a pair of new pantyhose (they say you can use washed used pantyhose, but that sounds kind of gross to me — even if they’re washed, they still had someone’s feet in them!)
  2. Place the onions into the feet.
  3. Tie a knot in the pantyhose between the onions.
  4. Repeat this process. I have never seen it, but I am guessing it looks like a big old chain of onions.
  5. Hang the onions in a cool, dry, and dark place
  6. Cut an onion off the hose from the bottom each time you need an onion.

Neat! Now the only question is, would it be sexier to use fishnets?!?!

grilled oysters at acme oyster house
I know. For shame, for shame. I went to New Orleans and I ended up eating in places where Tony Bourdain would never go like Acme Oyster House in the French Quarter. So call me Rachael Ray for a day.

I don’t mind because it was at Acme that I had my first taste of grilled oysters. I may not ever be able to go back to eating oysters raw again. If you’ve never had oysters prepared this way, let me tell you that it’s quite deliciously obscene. First the oysters are drowned in garlic butter (I think), then suffocated under cheese. The oysters in the shells are thrown on the grill until the shells are charred to black and the oysters are screaming for mercy under the cheese. I couldn’t help but throw a few splashes of hot sauce on there, too. Hey, they were already blasphemed with all that other stuff, so I didn’t feel to bad.

Twin chefs Raymond and David Anderson
If you build a Winter Farmers’ Market, the people will come. The selection will be seasonal (ie no buttery lettuces or ripe tomatoes) but the cheeses, preserves, baked goods, kale and end-of-season winter squashes make the trip worthwhile.

Identical twin chefs face off! Raymond and David Anderson are 29 year old twins who are both Portland-based chefs. They were give a box of 16 ingredients, a 6-burner stove and told to out-do one another. The challenge was to create two dishes in under one hour that used at least 10 of the 16 ingredients in the box. Want to see how they did? Click here for the results and some recipes.

When it comes to learning about Italian wine, the experts say to let the flavors, not the label be your guide in the process.
