Ham bone...beans.
I've been tasked with making a ham and bean soup with the Easter leftovers. It's not my favorite, so I don't have a "tried and true" recipe in my binder. Anyone have a favorite recipe?

How do you like your potato salad?
I usually have to make the classic Idaho, mayo, mustard, celery seed, etc. for the crowd, but I really like this recipe for a change. Some of the ones mentioned above look similar:

AHT Giveaway: Case of Pat LaFrieda Burgers
The burger off the flat top at the bowling alley where we used to bowl growing up. I still remember those burgers, so they must have been as good as I imagine.

I realize it's one ingredient among a long list, but the Bo Ssam I had recently (not this one) was delicious. I have all the prepared ingredients for this recipe, now I just have to make it.

I was going to add Xoco's ahogada if you hadn't included it. I dream of that little torta.
What Gross Food Stuff Did You Do as a Kid?
Sprinkle sugar on white bread and eat it. I saw it on an episode of Family Affair, when a street kid (Jodie Foster, I believe)showed it to "Jody." I also ate those plastic-wrapped banana cream pies that looked like a twinkie shaped into a taco. Guess I really liked sugar.
Help with Chicken Thighs
I make Greek chicken with skin on thighs. I'm sure you can google a recipe, but it's basically, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice, braised at 350 for about 45min. to an hour.
Ask a Bartender: What's Your Guilty Pleasure Drink?
@finsbigfan-lol-sloe gin fizzes were our drink of choice at weddings, which were always at the VFW and you always got served, no ID required. That and 7 & 7s. Yuck.
Baked potatoes?
'taters beat me to it. There's a bagel deli in Toledo that serves them. (Barry Bagels)
Ask a Bartender: What's Your Guilty Pleasure Drink?
If I ordered a White Russian, and you "wouldn't serve me," I guess I'd find another bar. On another note, we went out once with a college friend that didn't drink. Wanting to fit in, she decided to order a "drink" but make it non-alcoholic. She ordered a Kahlua and Cream, but asked them to skip the Kahlua. I kid you not.
Help with a big decision
Trust me, it is more important to find out where you are going to drink after classes. Law school does that to you.

Thank you, carabc. That makes me feel better.
Ham bone...beans.
Calphalon has an outlet sale, I believe in April (haven't seen the date yet). I have both size dutch ovens (they're great and lot cheaper than Le Creuset, esp. if you can get to the sale) and a number of pans. Got a sauce pan last year for $10. I didn't know there was a Le Creuset outlet. Usually drive throught PA once a year on vacation to OBX, but not this year. P.S. I'm originally from NE OH.

bobcatsteph's link is to a Senate Bean Soup. Thanks. I was asked to make soup. I'd prefer to make red beans 'n rice, but not this time.

Ham bone...beans.
Thanks everyone. Now, what to do...my soup "recipes" are rarely followed to the 't.' Most become a "dump" type soup. Will definitely look at CI's. Thanks fellow Ohioian! (Go Golden Flashes and Rockets! (I went to both-my niece and nephew went to OU).
What was the first dish you called your own?
@Mr. Nick, since I think they are talking about preparing and serving, I'd say that's, um, interesting.
Mine would be my mother's recipes of nisu (Finnish biscuit/coffee bread) and balish (Hungarian pastry). I grew up in a town full of European/Scandanavian immigrants. There were a lot of saunas in those basements!

I like candy. I like vodka, too. Do you like vodka? Watch my documentary, VodkaLady: the kbtoledo story, only on Lifetime.
Taco Innards -- What do you make at home?
I often use Mexian chorizo, no seasoning required, then add the traditional toppings or whatever I have. If I'm making everday, quick and easy, ground beef tacos, I use Bayless's taco seasoning (liquid in a bag). It'a pretty good for week-night tacos. Have tried jicama, roasted corn. Also depends on who my "audience" is.
Shrimp Ideas with not many ingredients
Make a marinade of veg or canola oil (1/2 cup) lemon juice (1-2 Tbsp) diced garlic (to taste-I would do 3-4 cloves), chopped fresh parsley, salt, pepper, dry mustard (1 tsp). (You can play with the amounts) Skewer and grill. If you don't have access to a grill you could probably broil.

chili bean paste - ssamjang vs. toban djan
I'm going to be making Momofuku's bo ssam with ssam sauce. His recipe calls for ssamjang (Korean). I have some toban djan (Chinese). Both say "bean chili paste," but I understand there's a difference in taste. Do I need to get the ssamjang or will the toban djan work? I have a couple Asian markets nearby, so it would not be a hassle to get some.

Check Splitting-Why so difficult?
We had dinner in Chicago this weekend. Eight people. We asked, before ordering, if we could split into 4 checks. Everyone on the same bill sat next to each other. There were no split appetizers or sides between the groups. The waitress said they don't usually allow it, but did. When the checks came out, all hell broke loose. Apps were on wrong bills, glasses of wine were on the wrong bills. Things got heated, she blamed it on the check splitting. The total bill was over $1,200, so each bill was in the $200-300 range. With so many people using debit and credit cards these days instead of cash, it's hard to go out in a group and not split. Why do some places seem to have no problem with it, and others do. Is it the system they are using? I have great respect for the service industry and someone really has to have bad attitude for me not to tip well (and we tipped well, regardless). So I'm not slamming wait staff, I just want to understand.
Thai Basil
I have a beautiful Thai Basil I grew this summer, and have yet to use it. (Constantly using my sweet basil) Wonder how a pesto would be with this? Any suggestions? I'll google, but thought I'd see what some of you come up with.

Next you're gonna say photos of Hambone and Yuba are unnecessary. Perish the thought.
