Once interviewed a young man (20s) who ordered a chicken breast at lunch "medium rare." Both the waiter and I called it a teaching moment. At another interview, roasted vegetables were served family style. As the meal drew to a close, he asked for more vegetables, and just began eating them off the serving platter balanced on his plate with the giant serving spoon, figuring everyone else was done.

Corpus.

Cold boiled jumbo shrimp with cocktail sauce and Thai chili/lime wings. Vanilla bean ice cream with peanut butter and chocolate sauce.

Married to a minister, and we don't say grace at every meal, that's just our routine, but we say grace at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, and all meals in between when we are with like minded people. Some family does not believe, but we expect they can take the 30 second moment to reflect on life's bounty during a Christian holy day, before the gravy congeals (I hurried it last Christmas Day, because I made TWO sauces!). They are free to tell us their views, and have. That's their business, not ours.

I have always used cottage cheese because I don't like the consistency of ricotta. I don't like cottage cheese much either, but melted into the lasagna you are left with only creamy goodness. I mix it up with an egg and some parsley and it is one of the layers along with the noodles, sauce and mozzerella.

I wish I had read the comments before making this! It was reeeally sweet. Not great.

Sliced on a BLT with cheese. And guac, of course.

Hmm. Haven't seen it yet. Unless...the final scene in Julie/Julia was actually filmed at the Smithsonian?

Count me INNNN! Any Chinese dish, french fries and sweet potato fries, SEAFOOD of all kinds (mixed with tartar sauce!) Lurv lurv the rooster.

I love these places. I bought a ton of champagne glasses for a party one year. Cake server, tongs, aprons, flippers. Fun to browse.

I love pepper, particularly in soups. Fresh ground. White pepper makes me choke and has a "musty" flavor, like it's old. But it's all you'll find in most Chinese restaurants around these parts. I don't like it when restaurants make you ask for salt and pepper. Nine times out of ten, there's no need to ask, but then there's that one time that the chef undersalted the frites, and then it is utterly necessary.
