Cook the Book: 'How to Roast a Lamb'
Gyros, Roasted leg of lamb, Lamb curry, and my personal favorite, the Simpsons' Lamb Chops right after visiting a petting zoo ("Liiiiiiisa, I thought you looooved meeeee...loooooooved me")
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Like piehole I don't eat olives but I love olive oil! I could make a meal out of spicy olive oil and bread alone, so good.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Might sound sort of random, but some of our best dinners was homemade pork gyoza (Japanese dumplings) on a huge electric skillet on the middle of our dining room table :-)
Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
It's a close one between Serious Eats (duh) and Pioneer Woman (double duh)- best photos and the most informative!
Cook the Book: The Southern Italian Table
A simple pomodoro sauce on pasta, especially for these cold rainy days we've had lately!
Lady M Cake Boutique Cheesecake: The Last Cut Is The Deepest
All I have to say is: "Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!"

Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, Pumpkin muffins, Pumpkin pancakes, so many great recipes this time of year!
SE'er Food Blogs
What a fun thread! Mine's still in its infancy, and most of it links right back to stuff I like on SE, but here it is: http://neverturndownacupcake.blogspot.com
Char No. 4: Bourbon, Barbecue, And Pork In Cobble Hill
Great pics! The house-smoked BLT looks like a Japanese katsu-sandwich on steroids, haha.
O is for Oysters and Okonomiyaki at Jimmy's No. 43
Thanks for fixing the link!
And yes, buffaloplease is right- in Japan "kitsune-iro", or fox-colored, is a common way of describing food as "browned". Although I imagine it looked pretty funny to you, thinking the girl was either dreaming of kittens or wanting EAT kittens, haha.
O is for Oysters and Okonomiyaki at Jimmy's No. 43
Cool idea! Okonomiyaki isn't my favorite Japanese dish, but it's definitely enjoyable if done right.
PS- the link at the end (for the Japanese recipe) goes to a place called garbage plate... ?
Cook the Book: 'The Craft of Baking'
My mom's Japanese-style strawberry shortcake!
Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'
Some of my favorite meal soups are probably in this cookbook :o) Lots of family hot pot meal action growing up- love the use of fresh ingredients and simple seasoning that are trademarks of Japanese cooking.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My first cookbook that was actually given to me (and not a hand-me-down) was a Barefoot Contessa cookbook :o)
Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'
Anything + Bacon = 2398473 times better :-)

I'm all for "mini" things usually but this photo made me sad

Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Thanksgiving wouldn't feel right without a chunky, moist dressing (or stuffing, though I'm taking Alton's advice to heart and keeping it out of my turkey this year). But I've also a particular fondness for all the orange Thanksgiving sides -- caramelized yam, pumpkin purees, fleshy marrows. Those Squash Half Moons with Butter, Sesame, and Salt sound like heaven.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Cornbread dressing!
