SE Staff Picks: What's Your Worst Hangover Food?

IF I drink which is rare, the next day at exactly 4:00 pm is when I get sick. It is on the minute and it ain't pretty.

I usually crave Mexican food but if I really want or need to get it over with then I will mix up a bowl of Chili beans and Tuna Fish and let the fun begin.

Gimme some gooey mac n cheese recipes please!

MAC & CHEESE

1 cup skim milk
5 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2 cups (6 ounces) shredded medium cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons margarine
1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cups uncooked elbow macaroni (about 1 3/4 cups cooked)

1. Whisk the flour into the skim milk in a small saucepan, then place it over medium-low heat.
2. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, margarine and salt and stir often with a spoon until the cheese begins to melt. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Use a whisk to stir the sauce every couple of minutes so that it becomes smooth and thick.
3. While the sauce thickens, prepare the macaroni by dumping 3/4 cup uncooked elbow macaroni into rapidly boiling water. Boil for 8 minutes or until tender, and then strain. You should have about 1 3/4 cups of cooked macaroni.
4. When the cheese sauce has simmered for 30 minutes, pour the pasta into a medium bowl. Gently stir in the cheese sauce, and then pour the mixture into a loaf pan or casserole dish.
5. When you are ready to dive into your macaroni & cheese, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. for 50 to 53 minutes, or until the cheese begins to brown slightly.

Cook the Book: Mashed Potatoes, Finally Revealed

OK, what is that recipe on the cover of the book? Gotta have it!

Do you have a recipe you won't share?

For YEARS I have taken this dessert to parties and potlucks and everyone craves it and have wanted the recipe but I won't budge.

I worked at Disneyland for about 4 years and there is still a girl who emails me for it and I just ignore her.

There are 3 ingredients to it and if anyone knew it they would probably kill me for keeping it a secret.

It has worked this long......

Cheesecake Help

Made a cheesecake the other day for a friends birthday and I really liked the recipe and it came out very pretty but I just felt like something was missing.

It just tasted bland to me and didn't have that "tart tang" to it and all I could taste was cream cheese.

I would have also liked it to be more on the dry side.

Any advice? Thanks?

Russian Mayo?

I just got back from a BBQ that was put on by a family from Russia and the grilled meat was soooo good. I asked how they made it and saw that it had been in a marinade that was "milky". They wouldn't tell me but said that it was "Russian Mayo".

Does anyone know what this might be or have you heard of a white, milky marinade for meats?

Thanks

Addicted to Food?

Have you ever been addicted to some type of food and just had to always have it around?

For awhile I was addicted to Grape Jolly Ranchers and I had to have a baggie of them with me at ALL TIMES! And it had to be JUST Grape!!

I would pop them in my mouth one after the other.

This went on for about 3 months and then I just stopped. Weird....

To this day I won't even let myself have one just in case it hits me again....

Japanese Turning Slicer

Does anyone own one of these? Any idea where I could find a cheap one? I saw a recipe that used one and it stipped an apple into long, thin slices for a pastry dish. I have to get one.

The Frugal Gourmet

I miss Chef Jeff Smith. Anyone know whatever happened to his assistant on the show Cliff Smith? He was a really young whipper-snapper on the show.

Zippy Dogs Anyone???

In grade school, circa 1969, we were served something called a "Zippy Dog" which was a hot dog with melted cheese wrapped in a dough and baked. I know it sounds like the crescent roll recipe but it wasn't that. It was almost like you got an entire loaf of bread wrapped around the dog.

Does anyone have a recipe for something like this or does anyone know how I would go about getting recipes from my old grade school?

I have to stop now as my mouth is watering.......
