How to Make Tasty White Castle Stuffing
There's no reason why this wouldn't be great. I use sausage in my stuffing, and this is basically very similar.
HELP! Butter free stuffing?
Sausage drippings. You should be using sage sausage anyway. ;-)

Where to buy a deep fried turkey?
Check Popeye's or Bojangles or whatever fried chicken places near you are doing.

What's your stuffing / dressing recipe?
Brown some sage sausage, remove from pan, and leaving drippings in pan. Then sweat your veggies in the sausage drippings. Proceed with whatever from there.
Potted Fruit Trees?
Meyer lemons are amazing. The best lemon meringue pie I've ever had was made last winter from lemons from our potted tree. Floral, complex, ethereal, amazing.
I'm eyeing the lemons now, for an encore this winter!
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
My Slovak great-grandmother made something nearly identical, from the 1940s on (and perhaps before). The cake part is identical--measure for measure--except she used margarine. Frosting also used margarine, but only one stick and no vanilla. The rest of the stuff was identical--measure for measure. Assembly is the same, too. Ours bakes at 400, though, and tends to finish pretty quick.
And yes, this is the best choc. cake ever. What makes it so good is the high frosting-to-cake ratio. Generations of people in my family have enjoyed this cake.
@proletarian: def. halve the recipe, and adjust the cooking time. Just keep an eye on it.
What do I charge?
Call around to people who do this already for a living and pretend you're asking for the same service. Then you'll know what your local market rate for this kind of thing is. My wife is self-employed and used this very strategy to find local pricing conditions when we first moved here.
Houston: Boudin Kolaches at Shipley Do-nuts
Sounds awesome. (BTW, not to be pedantic, but I think "Slovak" sounds better than "Slovakian.")
Anthony Bourdain and Vegetarians/Vegans
What @sloppy said. He's first and foremost an entertainer. No different than Rush Limbaugh or Keith Olbermann, who are pure entertainers (i.e., not philosophers, not reporters--just clowns with a following, eager to please the audience).
The Most Unhealthy Thing You've Ever Made
Given that research clearly shows a diet high in sat. fat and low in sugar/simple carbs actually lowers cholesterol and lowers risk for heart disease, I doubt there's a consensus on what "unhealthy" means. The conventional wisdom dies hard. (Disclosure: I eat everything and am not a low carb acolyte.)
Moldy Spoon Revisited. (Now with more EW!)
You may also want to leave the DW open when you're not around (i.e., otherwise, the open door is in the way when you're home). When we go on vacation, too, it's on my checklist, to leave the door open.
Is Locavorism For Rich Folks Only?
IMO, a lot of this is similar to the anti-Walmart sentiment that is found only in the well-to-do.
Weekend Cook and Tell: Spaghetti, Meatballs, and Wine
I'm not sure I understand the criticism of the Cooks Illustrated recipe. It calls for pork and gr. chuck, not a "beef meatball" recipe. I've had this recipe many times, and it is to die for. The simplicity of the sauce makes the meatballs really shine. The whole meal really comes together in an amazing way. (FWIW, I always make fresh pasta from scratch, since this meatball and sauce recipe is worth it.)
Pipe-Organ Pizzerias Briefly Explained
Beggars used to be called "Pipes-n-Pizza." They put a picture of the pipe organ on the paper bag in which the pizza came. (Yes, bag: not box.)
Southampton IPA acting up
Gushing can be from old beer or if it's stored too cold. Could also be from contamination, or just faulty brewing (e.g., overcarbonation).
Street Food Profile: Only Burger in Durham, North Carolina
Best street food city is LA or Portland???
I'd say Prague or Hong Kong, and I'm not even thinking hard about it.

I forgot to add: nice Dave Duerson jersey.

An Epic Quest For Pizza Immortality: Eating Nothing But Sausage Pizza for a Month
One word: Metamucil.
BTW, this guy is my hero. I would love to do this for every lunch and dinner for a month, but not breakfast (you will pry my high fiber breakfast from my cold dead hands). The problem for me is that (A) I no longer live in Chicagoland and (B) the expense would be horrific.
CHILI!!!
Wow--chili is so personal. And I never make it the same way twice. But IMO, chili is all about the beans. If you can master cooking dried beans, then you have the rosetta stone to a zillion cheap and delicious dishes.
Are cornmeal, grits and masa whole grains?
Stone-ground can be whole grain, but not always.

Where to buy a deep fried turkey?
Sam's club has deepfried boneless turkey breasts advertized right now.
How to Make Tasty White Castle Stuffing
From the bizarro world of upside-down "pizza", and hot dogs topped with chopped tomatoes and pickles, now comes this. What do you call a turkey stuffed with ratburgers? Ratburgkey!
How to Make Tasty White Castle Stuffing
Depends on where you live? The White Castles in NYC and Long Island come with Ketchup and well as McD's & BK It's a no Mustard type of town unless you ask for it...
In New Orleans, It's the Monday Muffuletta Conundrum
I too believed the Progress Market's muffuletta to be better than Central's. I wasn't impressed with Serio's. Current favorite is Napolean House, preferable warmed.

Buttermilk pie is divine!! Kinda like a chess pie...
How to Make Tasty White Castle Stuffing
they dont come with ketchup.
How to Make Tasty White Castle Stuffing
Sliders don't come with ketchup... what White Castle puts ketchup on their burgers??
How to Make Tasty White Castle Stuffing
Remember to order them minus ketchup and pickle!
Those who've only had the frozen microwave burgers may not realize they commonly come with a TON of ketchup, and nasty sour pickles which completely overwhelm the delicate taste of a small soft steamed onion burger.
recipes using buttermilk
smitten kitchen has a recipe for sweet potato buttermilk pie that looks delicious.
How to Make Tasty White Castle Stuffing
I have to say this sounds revolting on a conceptual level, but if its getting so much love there must be something redeeming here. I may have to drive down to the nearest White Castle and try it...
How to Make Tasty White Castle Stuffing
I've gone to two thanksgiving dinners where white castle was used to make the stuffing. Really good stuff.
How to Make Tasty White Castle Stuffing
Might be a bit too sweet from the burger bun sweetness. Otherwise that bread, soft sauteed onion, animal fat, well seasoned, all steamed together is amazingly close to a simple bread stuffing.
I bet it's better than any cornbread stuffing I've had (too sweet, over seasoned to cover up the sweetness, bad texture), or any wild rice stuffing (way too dark a flavor for mild turkey, chewy off texture).
recipes using buttermilk
I second the Ranch Dressing and scone ideas. I got the salad dressing recipe from Cooks Illustrated. I'll post it here if you want it!
recipes using buttermilk
This is the original type of ranch dressing according to a Food Network show (the one with recipes using 5 ingredients), the kind that steakhouses have always used. I had a bottle of buttermilk and didn't want to toss it out so I filled small ziplock bags with 1/3 cup of buttermilk and have kept them in the freezer. Once a week I take one out, thaw it and make more of this delicious dressing. We love it.
Ranch Dressing (steakhouse style)
1 whole scallion
1 garlic clove
Pulse in food processor.
½ cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup buttermilk
Puree in food processor. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Great served over a wedge of lettuce.
recipes using buttermilk
As I've written before, I had a university professor who regularly poured a glass of buttermilk into a bowl a piece of cherry pie. It's surprisingly good and refreshing and may work with other fruit pies as well. For what it's worth...
recipes using buttermilk
scones! they are super easy and a fun treat. also: cornbread. mmmm
recipes using buttermilk
cornbread
cinnamon rolls (ATK's quick cinnamon roll recipe)
apparently, buttermilk can be frozen without any ill-effects.
HELP! Butter free stuffing?
For those of us with kosher kitchens, this is a common and HUGE problem. I used to use margarine, and occasionally still do, but my personal preference is just a really flavorful olive oil. I know it doesn't give the same richness as butter, but in the end it works just fine (and if you are a preservative/chemical-phobe as I am, it's all natural!)
recipes using buttermilk
i use it to reheat any creamy sauce, like for mac & cheeses or any other creamy pasta dish.
I also use it to marinate eggplant before breading for my eggplant parmesan...
recipes using buttermilk
Biscuits and pancakes. Freeze any excess and reheat in the toaster oven or microwave.
recipes using buttermilk
One part buttermilk to two parts heavy cream in a clean container. Put the lid on and let it sit at room temp overnight. Next day you have cremre fraiche.
recipes using buttermilk
It lasts longer than the exp date, just like any "spoiled milk" product -- sour cream, cheese, etc.
But I will vote for Tyler Florence's "Better Buttermilk Biscuits". The trick is to pat out the dough, fold over in thirds as for a letter, pat out again, and fold again. Just be gentle. You get lots of layers and lightness.

i soak my chicken pieces in buttermilk for awhile before i make fried chicken.
