Look Who's Talkin'
And here we go. After some discussion, we're trying Look Who's Talkin' on Thursdays. I was shooting for mid afternoon, but better late than not today, right?
Speaking of wings ... how are you making yours for game day?
"I don't make Buffalo Wings. I make Buffalo Legs. Take chicken legs, fry them in hot oil for 15 minutes. Melt some butter in a pan, mix in some hot sauce. Add legs, coat with sauce." —DanielJ [See also: What's your signature snack for the Super Bowl?]
Favorite sandwiches for busy weeknights
"Tomorrow night is sandwich night. I'm making a BLAT: Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, Avocado w/mayo rolled in whole wheat lavosh. I might even add some steamed shrimp if I've got some time...." —bitchincamero
Valentine's Night Dinner: Eating In or Out?
"I wish this was a WAY or NO WAY topic because I'd give it a resounding NO WAY. The absolute WORST day to dine out, behind Mother's Day, is Valentine's Day. Now I love a well-prepared, romantic dinner as much as the next girl but that is RARELY what's served on Valentine's Day. Even a great restaurant is stretched to the limit. Food quality and/or service suffers. Anyone capable of boiling pasta and whipping together a decent marinara should stay home. Go out on the 15th. LOL." —therealchiffonade
Fries with That Salad?
"Ah-hem! Y'all Pittsburgians may be in the Superbowl, but don't be too cocky about inventing the 'fries on everything that moves' approach--New Brunswick, NJ has the 'Grease Trucks' at Rutgers University...." —HeartofGlass
My Shocking Food Confession: What's Yours?
"I like eating raw ramen. Well not raw since it's already cooked. But I like breaking up the ramen in the bag then sprinkling a bit of the MSG package in there and eating it like chips." —fauxchef
Would You Seriously Date Someone Who Didn't Love Food?
"Kissin' don't last.....cookin' does. Dump him." —1stmakearoux
How Do You Handle Uninvited Guests?
"Everybody eat! If you don't have eggs whip up some of what you have.... keep a quiche in the freezer.... no freezer space?! bring on the Alpo.... your grandfather was right.... there is always room for one more. Today we are a bunch of spoiled brats who need a curveball or two thrown our way... opening your fridge means opening your heart. Do it and feel better for it..." —Pavlov
Food Slogans and Jingles That You Just Can't Get Out of Your Head
""We have banned the Subway 5 dollar foot long jingle due to having two boys 10 and 14, who snicker away and well...." —dhorst
Best Way to Keep a Stainless Steel Pan Stainless
"I only use barkeeper's friend. It works great. Wet pan, sprinkle on, and make a paste. Cover what needs to removed and let sit for about 5-10 min. Then scrub lightly and it will be perfect all over again." —dearrie
Help Me Identify a Mystery Vegetable!
"Crosnes." —simon
"Rack up yet another thing I have learned from the SE blog! I have never come across these anywhere." —bareneed
[Editor's note: And last but not least, I really enjoyed the interaction on "Winning haiku? No "Look Who's Talkin'" last week?" —Adam]
