Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
I STILL miss the fresh bratwurst from when I was growing up in Germany! I have had some here in the US that comes close ... but it isn't quite the same!!

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks
My favorite cut of steak? For special occasions, Filet Mignon. Otherwise, I LOVE a great Ribeye -- medium rare with a nice glass of Merlot!!
Thanks for a great giveaway!!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage
My favorite BBQ joint is Pierce's Pitt Bar-B-Que in Williamsburg, VA! Hands down -- the best BBQ EVER!!!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Italian Snacks'
My favorite go-to party snack is my 7-Layer Mexican Dip! I have YET to meet anyone who didn't LOVE it!!
Thanks for a great giveaway!!
Cook the Book: 'Baked, New Frontiers in Baking'
When I was growing up, my mother made the most amazing Chocolate Cream pies! I STILL ask for one when I go to visit her!!
Cook the Book: 'Giada's Kitchen'
I have a recipe for a chunky garden tomato sauce with fresh basil that I just LOVE. It runs a close 2nd to my Mom's homemade spaghetti sauce that I have NEVER been able to duplicate correctly!!
Cook the Book: 'The Best Barbecue on Earth'
If we're talking about GRILLED food, then send me back to Germany for some fresh grilled wurst (I wouldn't even be picky about what kind)!
But if we're talking BBQ, send me to Memphis for ribs (and LOTS of them)!!!
Cook the Book: 'The Shun Lee Cookbook'
I'm assuming that if I won an Olympic medal, I'd be in China. So -- I would literally STUFF myself with as much Dim Sum as possible!
Thanks for a great giveaway!!
Cook the Book: Bobby Flay's Grill It!
I would choose Guy Fieri! I have watched him ever since he won on season 2 of "The Next Food Network Star" and I LOVE the food he cooks! It's REAL food -- not pretentious frou-frou food!
Cook the Book: 'Summer on a Plate'
My Dad -- without a doubt! I grew up as an Army Brat and we traveled all over. My Dad took great joy in learning to cook all different types of food and taught me to appreciate it as well. He would NEVER let me say I didn't like something without trying it first!!
Cook the Book: Serves One
My favorite dish to prepare when I am alone is Macaroni & Cheese! It's my FAVORITE comfort food!
I could REALLY use this cookbook as I am so used to cooking for 6 (hubby, 2 step-kids and 2 kids)! Now that I am divorced and kids are gone -- I am clueless as to how to even START cooking for one!!
Thanks!!
Where To Find Fried Pickles on the East Coast
The best place in Pensacola, FL for fried pickles is The Oar House!!
Cook the Book: 'Screen Doors and Sweet Tea'
Sweet tea, of course!! It's the house wine of the South!!!
Cook the Book: New South Grilling
My Dad's famous Egg Nog (with Bourbon, of course)!! The last Christmas I spent with him, he made a BIG batch of it -- and no one was drinking it. So we managed to polish it off on our own ... and spend the evening laughing and giggling! We had a lot of fun ... and I'm GLAD that's how I remember our last Christmas together -- just the two of us being silly!
The Next Food Network Star's Lisa Garza: Love Her or Hate Her?
One of my favorite quotes from "Steel Magnolias" applies perfectly to this woman:
"An ounce of pretention is worth a pound of manure!"
I cannot STAND this woman and the sooner she's gone, the better (IMHO)!
Cook the Book: 'Top Chef'
Since I'm not a Top Chef (I'm barely a BOTTOM Chef) ... I have no idea what I'd make! That's why I NEED this cookbook!!!
Where To Find Fried Pickles on the East Coast
I love fried pickles but I thought your comment about spears was really weird because I find the exact opposite to be true. The chips tend to get soggy and cold much faster than the spears. Which made sense to me because the spears are crunchier in the first place. I actually avoid places that have chips. Hooters for example has the chips. Which almost everywhere has a hooters so there you go but I don't go because I want the real thing. The full on spear and if you're lucky and you're at Little River BBQ in Townsend, TN then you get the special sauce too (some sort of sweet mustard). It's absolutely the best. Chips really?!!? So confusing....
Where To Find Fried Pickles on the East Coast
How did I ever miss this? Toots was my first exposure to fried pickles back in college over 10 years ago! Now, Jockamo's is my place to get my fix!

Every time I had Mom's BBQ pork chops with fried potatoes, but didn't appreciate it :) I've never had anything like it since then! I didn't know what a good thing I had :)

Te fist hing that I can recall is the Scotch eggs my mther used to make. She would wrap spiced ground pork around hard boiled eggs and deep fry them till golden brown. She would serve it with German mustard but I liked it with maple syrup.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
As a child, my family actually killed their own hogs about Thanksgiving time. Some of my fondest pork memories is of fresh, and I mean fresh, tenderloin that my Mother would cook for us. With homemade biscuits, if you please!

I think that I gained 5 lbs. just by reading the comments.
My favorite pork memory is the first time that I had a Cuban pulled pork and onion sandwich. I can remember how good it was and still love to get one whenever I'm in Florida.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
When Dad made dinner for the two of us. His pork chops and Kraft mac and cheese. Simple but I loved the chops and the time with him.
