Guilt-free fish and ice cream sandwiches: NY Times Dining in 60 Seconds

In an effort to sort through all the "dos" and "don'ts" of eating fish, the Times compiled a list of fish that are not only safe to eat at least once a week without worrying about contaminants and over-fishing, but that taste good, too. Wild, farmed and shellfish are all included. Don't be intimidated by the flavors of some of these less-popular fish: they can be substituted in all your favorite recipes.

Blue Bell ice cream, a premium brand sold only in 16 states, is so good that it ranks #3 in the nation in sales. What makes it so good? "The milk we use is so fresh it was grass only yesterday." If you're not in the Lone Star State, where the 99-year old, family-owned company is based, you can have it shipped - but it'll cost you.

Speaking of ice cream, ice cream sandwiches just might be the new cupcake. It has nostalgia and simplicity, as well as a huge number of variations, sure to please eaters of all ages.

The secret to stress-free cooking is cooking ahead, a strategy that even works in restaurants - particularly Italian ones that specialize in slow-cooked foods. Grandma didn't seem stressed, did she?

Frank Bruni eats and drinks at Cafe d'Alsace, giving it two stars. But that might just be the beer talking.
