Delighted to see Tampopo among the 10 most mouthwatering moments in film. That movie is... weird, to say the least, but as an in depth look at the world of noodles in Japan, you can't hope for anything better.
Parts of the movie will crack you up, parts will make you wish you had hit fast forward (or at least wish you knew before you started watching it WITH someone else), but the food... it makes you hungry!
Got all ten of the "signs" except #5. Funny timing, though - I was just telling Steve that I wanted to start cooking even more stuff with no recipes. Pork stews, roasts, stir fries, soups. I'll get there.
Awesome little article about the Laura Ingalls Wilder-era food. I read her books over and over when I was a kid - including Big Woods - and I do find myself thinking of the foods/preparation/preservation in there from time to time.
And yes yes yes on overestimating calories. I definitely do. Am. It's probably helping. :)
Matt: I'm embarrassed to admit that I've watched hardly any of those movies. I need to get to work, obviously.
Melissa, I'm the same... rarely do I cook without a recipe. It might be a level of ability I'll never reach. Thanks, as always, for your thoughts and insights.

Thanks for the shout out, Dan.
Most of that top 10 list apply, but #7 really hits home. I rarely eat in restaurants now for this very reason.
