Is anyone here giving up a certain food for Lent?
I gave up Meat last year, that was tough but I made it. I also "overmeated" at Easter that was rather unpleasant. This year I am giving up all fried foods. I ate chips and KFC yesterday and so many fries on Monday night that I am looking forward to avoiding them.
I'm not Catholic, I just like to do it bc. I never fast and its really only a short time.
How do you make your egg salad, tuna salad, ham salad...
Here are all my basic ones:
Tuna: Hard boiled egg, mayo, maybe a little onion, Old bay- no other seasonings required
Chicken: Celery, Mayo, salt, pepper, onion/garlic powder, parsley if its around
Ham: Mustard & mayo in equal amounts, a little salt, pepper, fine chopped celery, onion, and pickles.
Egg: Mayo and mustard, old bay, salt pepper
I Love sandwiches :)

Bananas!
I HATE them and if there are any at all in a fruit salad, dessert, smoothie, or anything like that I spit it out immediately. My friend has a goal of one day making a dessert that has banana in it that I will eat. It's not happening, I loathe anything banana or banana flavored.

Cook the Book: 'The Heirloom Tomato'
I'll eat them anyway!
One of my favorites is all chopped up with a little pesto and some salt. mmmm

What did you end up eating or serving for the Super Bowl?
Guac, Buffalo wing dip, salsa, bean dip, sour cream and a bunch of stuff to dip into them all. My friend brought over a double crust apple pie and some mint brownies. Oh and caramel ice cream on the pie, I could hardly make it to the 4th quarter for that. MMMMM
For four of us it was WAY too much food and it was all junk, which is the best way to celebrate the Superbowl.
Snapshots from the UK: Turkish Delight
I remember reading the book in 4th or 5th grade and our teachers brought in "Turkish delight" (lime jello with powdered sugar. I swore that it was a real food and that it did not include lime jello. The teachers kept telling me that I was wrong and said that it was a fake food. I kept the argument up, but they kept telling me it was imaginary. I may have argued with teachers a bit too much through elementary and middle school. That summer I went to Seattle with my family and I found Turkish delight at some stall in Pikes Place market. AAAHH sweet vindication! My parents didn't get why I was so excited about it.
ps. I actually am not a big fan of the stuff. I had some when I was in Ireland and I wasn't impressed.
Drinking the water abroad--bottled or tap?
I think that each country has its own bacteria so there will be some adjustment depending on where you go. For most developed countries you are probably fine drinking the water, but there might be an adjustment period when your body has to change to that area's bacteria. If you are only in a place I wouldn't risk it since the bacterial transition could ruin your vacation. If your there for an extended stay you might as well adjust to tap so that it costs less.
I studied abroad in Ireland and drank tap the whole time. I did have to adjust, the first week was a bit uncomfortable, but the money I saved was worth it. Keep on the look out for local notices of water sanitation, I did have some friends who didn't get a notice about water issues during a trip to Galway and got a NASTY bug. They avoided tap from then on.
The perfect BLT
What about onions?!!
I love onions on my BLT it is a requirement.
My preferred BLT is
Whole grain, lightly toasted
Avocado
Lots of Bacon
Tomato from my Garden
Onion
Leaf Lettuce
Maybe a little Mayo, not required if there is Avocado, if not, then it is.
Salt and pepper on the veg.
YUM
Exploding Banana Head Performance Art
Bananas must die!!!
Restaurant Week in DC
I went to Zaytinya and it was great! I am soooo happy they ran out of mussels because I got the best calamari ever subbed in instead.
Berger Cookies
I would reccomend ordering them, or making a special trip to buy some. They used to only be for sale in Highs dairy stores or from Bergers themselves.
popsicles, drumsticks, and ice cream sandwiches... oh my!
Snoball! Or maybe a getati from Rita's, but I tend to go for icy when its really hot outside. I am also a big fan of the Drumstick when picking Icecream.
Your food dislikes -- items or categories or methods or recipes?
I have a passionate hatred of bananas, in any form or even tiny bit of the flavor. The smell even makes me nauseous. GROSS. Its not a texture thing for me I eat plenty of wierd stuff but bananas make me gag. I am also not a fan of rasins. So two of the childhood go-to healthy snacks were out of the question for me.
Not a big fan of excessive mayo/sour cream that sort of thing and I can't eat yogurt from one of those diet fruity things. I love yogurt in savory things and enjoy frozen yogurt, but not the sweet refigerated kind yech!
I have issues with overcooked veggies and actually prefer many raw, but I am usually willing to try them. I'm still not a fan of cooked peas or lima beans, but I love to eat raw peas from the garden. Also not a big fan of the sweet+meat idea, maple bacon?- not so much. I also dont like pineaple and ham, but I can usually pick around it. I still try that kind of stuff, its just not my thing.
Other than these few things I am a quite adventerous eater and will try pretty much anything, as long as there are no bananas involved.
PB&J or Grilled Cheese?
Grilled Cheese all the way. I LOVE cheese!
Cook the Book: 'The Food Life'
Millers Market. My friends dad does the sausage and it is amazing. I can also get the chicken corn chowder that is usually only avaliable at the Firehall during carnival season, or when someones Grandma makes it. YUM!
Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine
Apple Dumplings, Corn Chowder, Sausage, Whoopie Pies, Pretzels, and Shoo-fly pie. I am from not too far from there and the baked goods are always amazing at Amish Markets. The corn chowder is a personal favorite, but in general you are in for a lot of delicious comfort foods.
Cook the Book: Serves One
As someone who just got a 1st apartment I cook for one a lot. I tend to throw a bunch of veggies into a pan and make some sort of stir fry. I put it over rice, bulghur, noodles, pasta, or whatever else is around. The sauce varies, but this is the basic formula. Tonight it's pesto and zuchinni over some bulghur.
Fennel?
Hoooray Fennel!
My favorite way to eat it is in a salad. Slice it thin, mix with some thin sliced onion. For the dressing Lemon juice, salt, crushed garlic and olive oil. Mix and taste until it seems right to you. This is a really simple way to eat it. I've added cheese, cucumbers, radishes, and other things but the basic recipie is great.
You could also roast it or put it into a tomato based stew.
Whats Your Banana IQ?
Bananas are evil! I get nauseous at the scent of them and they really gross me out. I don't understand why they are so popular. EWWWW. I was stuck in the car with someone eating a banana yesterday and I thought I was gonna hurl.
Muffins!
Martha Stewart makes an awesome muffin with a struedel topping. I guess google the recipie? I've fiddled around with it and I add lemon zest and blueberries to the muffin and then drizzle a lemon glaze over the top.
Prosciutto shank?
I use them to make kale/collard greens. Just toss it in the pot and let it simmer. Sometimes you can get some good slices off of it to nibble on and then just throw the rest in the pot. If it is dried out it is alot easier to get meat off once you simmer it for a while. Its also fun to gnaw on the bone when no one is watching. :)
- I got mine at a cheese shop for 99cents
I heart mustard..do you?
I eat dijon straight off of a spoon. mmmm...
Kebabs: What's Your Favorite?
Doner Kebabs! OMG
These glorious creations are what gets you through a drunken night in Europe. MMMM! I just read a review of a place near me that supposedly has them, but I am skeptical. Most places here (US) stick with meat chunks on a stick intsead of the doner formula(gyroish w/ WAY better sauces.
Oh and on an unrelated note, even if I soak my skewers they always seem to burn, so metal are my favorite.
