I've been eyeing this pie, it looks delicious and relatively easy.

Gus and Gabriel Gastropub: The Greek Coffee Shop (Diner) of Our Dreams?
This looks amazing. I have to make a rare trip to the UWS for this one.
Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'
My first pie and pie crust from scratch was actually my biggest triumph. Mostly the crust!
Sugar Rush: Chocolate Pudding in a Mason Jar at Sarabeth's
I wish I could have one these right about... now. Would totally cure my 4:30-wish-the-work-day-was-over blues!
Photos from Big Apple Barbecue Block Party 2009
Thank you for this delicious looking recap. I couldn't make it this weekend, so salivating over these photos makes me feel like I was almost there.

Love you Red Hook Ballfield vendors.

I can't offer recipes, but a friend and I review restaurants in the greater NYC area.

Nice work, cadet. Anytime Star Trek appears in my everyday life is a good time.
Mother's Day Brunch Options
Mother's Day is May 10. :)
These all look super delicious, I wish my Mom was here so I could take her to one or more of these places!
In Videos: Dogs Baking Bread
I almost forgot about these dogs! Awesome.
Although there are some issues with some of these steps. Somehow they made beautiful bread, though, so I'll go with it.
Win Tickets to the Hot Dog Hootenanny
I love a classic NY-style kosher dog with a good snap. Some yellow mustard, and I'm good to go
Themed cupcake help!
You could hide a candy inside. I would never object to finding candy hidden inside my food.
My Year in Hamburgers
Love the recap, I always enjoy reading your purist hamburger reviews. Looking forward to another year!
When Will Red Hook Ball Fields Open?
They have more than one location for some vendors, and are able to operate in more than one location. The DUMBO and Ft Greene fleas are on different days as well. Ft Greene started last weekend (Sat) and they are already serving up there.
Birch Beer
I've never had it on tap, but I actively search out Boylans birch beer. So delicious!
Meat Cards: Business Cards Made of Beef Jerky
Awesome. But your billfold would smell like meat and your risk of dog attack would go up like a thousand fold.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Fried Turkey, stuffing and gingersnap gravy in one bite. By far my favorite holiday as it is truly THE holiday for food lovers! I can't wait!!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Oyster stuffing. Tough part, finding enough people who aren't oyster-phobic...
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Gotta go with roasted garlic mashed potatoes. I could eat it all.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
green bean casserole, from scratch of course!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
My moms - potatoes, summer savory and crushed crackers, also includes tons of butter and a few onions - I miss stuffing since it started killing people :(
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
I love homemade warm applesauce!! That and the apple pie are my favorite part of Thanksgiving. I don't like most of the other food including the turkeY!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
This year it will be pumpkin ravioli with sage brown butter sauce.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Mashed potatoes and gravy....
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Warm, fresh cornbread, straight from the oven
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
spaghetti squash with jalapeno cream. mmm...
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Dinner rolls from Cook's Illustrated. I could just eat those and nothing else.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
i love potatoes of any kind...so...creamy, garlic-y mashed potatoes.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Love it when the cranberry sauce creeps into the dressing and mashed potatoes...deeelish...hope I win :)
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Pumpkin bread like only my mother can make!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Thanksgiving wouldn't feel right without a chunky, moist dressing (or stuffing, though I'm taking Alton's advice to heart and keeping it out of my turkey this year). But I've also a particular fondness for all the orange Thanksgiving sides -- caramelized yam, pumpkin purees, fleshy marrows. Those Squash Half Moons with Butter, Sesame, and Salt sound like heaven.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Cornbread dressing!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
My mother's cornbread dressing, with a little giblet gravy, and a dollop of cranberry sauce.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
I love stuffing/dressing of any kind, but it's tough to choose between that and a good green bean casserole. More, please!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Green bean casserole for me, please !
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Mmmmm...stuffing...I would have to agree with that!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Stuffing. No doubt about it.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
I can't choose one without the other. Cornbread dressing and collard greens are sublime together.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Dip the roll in the mashed potatoes!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
My Italian Great Aunt would always serve so many traditional Italian sides, the "American" traditionals always seemed like an afterthought. I can still taste her paper thin, barely battered fried zucchini. That will always remain my favorite Thanksgiving side dish, even though no one in my family knows how to replicate it.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Mashed potatoes .......always ....mashed potatoes .................
