Cakespy's Glossary of Desserts Named After People
Great post! But nothing about Poires Belle Hélène, an obvious favourite...
Also a Canadian treat - the Sweet Marie bar
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
My sister's Cran Marnier - homemade cranberry sauce with Grand Marnier mixed in. Her delicious invention!
Montreal Bagels: St-Viateur vs. Fairmount
Definitely St Viateur. I find that Fairmount bagels are too gummy / undercooked and sweet. Still warm St. Viateurs direct from the chute (sesame) make for the best smelling car ever!

Serious Heat: What's Your Secret Chili Ingredient?
I puree the tin of chipotles in adobo - all the contents - in the blender and add o spoonful of the mix to my bean filled (veggie) chili. Also use 2 jalapenos and a spoonful of dried chili flakes.

Vegetarians, How Do You Do Thanksgiving?
There's a delicious mushroom gravy recipe in Molly Katzen's Vegetable Heaven. A great cookbook by the way. I can always find something delicious and festive (and easy to prepare) in there.

Can someone please confirm what size of pan is best for a half recipe? I have a 9 x 13 and an 8 x11 Pyrex.
Any food you could eat daily til' you kick the bucket?!
Every single morning I have whole wheat toast with peanut butter, a glass of orange juice, and a cup of tea. The perfect breakfast. I have eaten this for 35 years (the tea for 20 years) and look forward to eating this for at least another 35.
I usually have a daily apple, and some cheese, as well.

Moldy Spoon Revisited. (Now with more EW!)
There is usually a filter at the bottom of the dishwasher that you can open and clean out. Mine was full of olive pits and assorted debris. After cleaning that out then run it empty on hot with a chemically laden detergent. I usually use the energy saving setting with organic "green" detergent and I don't think its as "sanitizing" as it used to be... Once in a while the chemical stuff on hot is needed.
Cook the Book: The Southern Italian Table
Minestrone or a fiery arrabiatta
Your Clever SE Name
I have eaten peanut butter daily for breakfast for 35 years... Well at least 6/7 days as brunch doesn't usually serve it for some reason. It's the perfect food... Tasty, healthy, filling, and cheap. And I never get tired of it. And I always bring some with me while travelling, just in case!
Soft-Boiled Eggs-Your eating style
In the pink chick egg cup (cranium of the chick is replaced by the egg). The yellow one was my sisters... Cut off top of egg, scoop with small spoon and dip in toast soldiers intermittentlly with sprinkling in salt and pepper. Of course, butter on the toast.

Does this post have anything to do with food or eating? Why is this even on here?
Is the KitchenAid pasta attachment worth it?
I quite like the attachments. I make a big batch of fettuccine and freeze it in single servings, for a quick lunch or dinner. And guests are really impressed with homemade pasta. A lot of bang for a very small buck considering the number of people you can feed with flour and a few eggs.
A bit too many Asian-themed articles on this site?
If anything I would enjoy a more cosmoplitan approach - less hamburgers, hotdogs, pizza and bacon...
Cook the Book: Pumpkin Baking
I'm more of a savoury than a sweet...
Pumpkin ravioli with sage browned butter
Cook the Book: 'The Craft of Baking'
Lemon tart in Paris - actually many lemon tarts all over Paris!
Are You a Night Baker?
I'm an inadvertent night-time baker. Mostly because I can't get the time planning for no-knead bread right, despite making it all the time! Somehow the 18 hrs wait always end up around midnight.
I feel inspired by night bakers everywhere. In university I lived above a bakery/cafe with a twitchy fire alarm. I would hang out with the bakers at 3 am while waiting for the fire service to let us back inside. A crazy bunch who worked from midnight to 8 am...

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!

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.

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!

Green bean casserole for me, please !
