Look Who's Talkin': Recent Comments We Have Known And Loved
- Where are the cooks in my generation?
"... the most successful way of getting my friends interested in cooking has been inviting them over for dinner... If you have your friends over for dinner/brunch/cocktail party/poker game, you can certainly spike their interest in cooking "by the way," without preaching ('Oh wow, this is so good, did you do this yourself?' 'Yep, and it was really easy...') and go from there." – brooke29 - When good people do "bad" things in your kitchen...
... Oh, forget it: just check out the thread. There's way too many quote-worthy bits in here (and you may pick up a tip or two from this vent session!).
- English Muffin Pizza? Tortilla Pizza? Pita Pizza?
"I am a huge fan of the English Muffin pizza because you can pack so much sauce on there. There is no way cheese and toppings could stick to a real pizza with that much sauce per square inch. Score one for the nooks and crannies." – drastic - Jarred Baby Food
"I'm almost ashamed to admit this, but I used to eat them in college as a snack. How weird is that? It wasn't practical to keep fresh fruit on hand, and I hated the canned stuff, so I'd eat jarred, pureed baby food fruit instead." – sheeats - What foods do restaurants most often mess up?
"Significant menu omissions. I'm not asking them to provide the recipe, just mention things that are unusual or might matter to the average diner. The fact that the 'Grilled Filet Mignon' comes swimming in a port reduction is significant and worth mentioning. Also, why list nine out of ten sandwich ingredients and fail to mention that it's slathered with mayo?" – LoCo - What's your best "retro" recipe?
"Without a doubt; meatloaf. The recipe has been disseminated to the degree I fear it might end up being on my epitaph!" – srhcb - Saving Family Recipes - Do You Have A Cookbook?
"I think of my blog as my family (and friends) cookbook in progress. One of these days I will turn selected posts and photos into a 'real' book for my kids." – Ann Fisher - Let's talk Valentine's Day candy...
"... I was and still am greatly disturbed w hen the makers decided to 'modernize' the phrases on the [conversation] hearts. Now instead of classics like 'Kiss me' and 'Be mine,' we also get 'Fax me.' Did anyone... ever... even in the 80s, regard the fax as a tool for romance?" – fuuchan - Got Nutella? Hand me the jar and a spoon, please.
"uhh.......still thinking........" – moibec, in response to Susquehanna's request for suggestions on how to enjoy more rationed ways of eating Nutella instead of out of the jar. (It's a hopeless cause... just surrender now.) - Lists galore: Add your best pie suggestions to the Serious Eats Pie Honor Roll, see how everyone else likes to build the perfect breakfast sandwich.
