The Food Lab's Apple Pie, Part 1: What Are the Best Apples for Pie?

Put my vote in for Honeycrisp. I just ate next to last slice of the honeycrisp pie I made on Sunday. Great flavor, still firm-ish, not too sweet. Even better since the apples came of the tree in my backyard.

With two kids that are loading the dishwasher, I'm just glad to get a glass with no food bits stuck on it.

Gadgets: Salad Shooter by Presto

I've had mine for over 15 years and use it all the time. You can't beat it for grating cheese. I didn't know anyone doubted it's usefulness. Or awesomeness.

Poll: How Do You Top Your Pancakes?

When having pancakes at home, I always have to have one the way my grandpa made them. Buttered, generously sprinkled with sugar and rolled up into a tube shape which was then eaten by hand.

Cook the Book: The Grand Central Baking Book

There aren't many bakeries at all in my area but there is one that doubles as a soup/sandwich shop. It's called Flour Girls and Dough Boys bakery. Pretty good fresh breads and I wouldn't turn down their cookies either.

Cook the Book: 'Good Eats: The Early Years'

On the year my brother made a Turducken, I was sick with a head cold. I ended up taking a quadruple sudafed dose in the attempt to decongest myself so I could taste the turkey. Didn't work. Neither did crunching ginger altoids like popcorn. I don't think I slept for the next 24 hours.

Cakespy: Homemade Candy Corn

I just tried making these. I boiled it for 5 minutes which was probably about a minute too long. It far too stiff. I managed to get two colors formed into logs but not the third one. The two that I managed to snake-ify were too dry to stick to each other. We ate some bits of it though and it tasted good. I'll try again.

Toasting pumpkin or squash seeds - is there a trick?

When the seed catalogs come out next spring keep your eye out for a pumpkin seed called Kakai. The pumpkins form seeds with no hulls. They are just the green inner seed. That's it. They are so delicious! I've grown them for several years now.

What Was Your Favorite School Cafeteria Food?

In elementary school it was hamburger gravy on mashed potatoes. Also loved the canned green beans and the tots.
In the late 80's my high school had a grill w/ burgers, fries, shakes. We had a salad bar and then the regular lunch line. I shudder to think of all the lunches that consisted of fries dipped in shakes.

Honeycrisps Are Here!

I have a honeycrisp tree in my backyard. This is it's first year to produce apples and they are wonderful! The only way I have cooked them is to make applesauce and it was pretty tastly.

What Weird Family Foods Did You Grow Up Thinking Were Normal?

My husband's family made divinity every time they made waffles and used it to make waffle/divinity sandwiches.
I liked grape jelly and cream cheese on ritz crackers. Oh, and I used to put milk and graham crackers in a baggie, squish it all up and suck it out of a corner of the baggie. We called it astronaut food.

What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?

Neither - I don't eat pork because (IMHO) pigs are treated so poorly and I don't eat lamb because my Dad always called my Mom Lambie when I was a kid. It seems wrong. :) We are having a turkey.
