Stormy Day Comfort Food
My stormy day comfort foods are "Ole fashioned southern hash" or "Ham/Keilbasa stew".Both are great even on a not so bad day.

My last fortune cookie said "the path you are on will lead to a lifetime of memories".I agree with the others,who writes these.
What would your restaurant be?
How 'bout a Jazz Bistro for lunch and dinner.It would have a piano bar for soft music at lunch and dinner then add a combo of the upright bass,sax and drummer for after dinner.A good soft,slow jazz singer on the weekends and this would be fantastic.The appearice would be upscale but casual with good low lighting.This would work just about anywhere.

What would your restaurant be?
@PerkyMac....All food is my passion, and I will never have a single theme. I guess that would make my cookbook a bit of a challenge! I will think on that. I am all over the threads tonight. I am trying to catch up with the interesting topics! I live in the Ambler/Montgomery County area.
What would your restaurant be?
Peruvian bistro. Very few items on the menu. It would reflect a Limeño influence. You'd see typical items like sancochado, causa, empanadas, ceviche, quinoa, lomo saltado, ají de gallina and roasted chicken with screaming green salsa de ají.
Most recipes would be adapted from this.
Without funding from some wealthy patron, I couldn't afford a liquor license, so no chicha or pisco sours. That's life.

srhcb (or anyone)- could you recommend a good cookbook or recipe for food processor bread dough. I have attempted two versions and was not happy with either. The first was a recipe that came with my Kitchen Aid FP it had eggs in it and was more cake-like than bread-like. The second was the Bon Appetite recipe for french bread or rolls -- I made rolls and they never rose properly (I proofed the yeast) the birds wouldn't even eat these things. I would love to find a great recipe. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm gonna have to breakdown and get one too. I made a bolognese sauce not too long ago (Tyler Florence's recipe), and it took so long! Had to do everything in batches.

You guys are great! Years ago I used to make hummus in my blender, then I got lazy, and..well...I made it again in my new FP and loved it. I had forgotten how much better/fresher/more economical than store bought homemade hummus is . I also made homemade mac and cheese--Ina's grown up version (didn't love it), and bread crumbs, and now I can't wait to make salsa and some of the other suggestions you've all given--biscuits, pie dough, carrot cake, etc. ! I don't need to leave the house for weeks...other than to go to the grocery store....
Stormy Day Comfort Food
my comfort food for a storm day= mac and cheese w/tuna and w/ or w/o broccoli. grilled cheese w/tomato soup. veggie pot pie. enchiladas.
and the guilty pleasure? Korean ramen package with hot dog, egg, and American cheese added. Yes, you heard me right.

I love to make biscuits in mine. In fact, my Kitchen Aid FP came with a recipe for parmesan cheese biscuits that I made on a lark one day and my family LOVED them! The FP is also a great tool for making a carrot cake from scratch, chopping the nuts, shredding the carrots and mixing the batter.
I most often break out my FP to make a bread crumb/parmesan cheese mixture. First I'll drop in a clove or two of garlic with the machine running to mince the garlic. Then I'll drop in a couple cubes of parmesan or romano cheese and let the machine pulverize. Then I'll throw in cubes of bread and let the machine go until I get the right size crumbs. Add in herbs and fresh cracked pepper and a tablespoon or so of EVOO and you've got the easiest gratin topping ever.

Cheesecake filling whizzes up great in the food processor. No pesky cream cheese lumps.
