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.

The sandwiches at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden - tasty food in a wonderful setting
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.

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.

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...

Pumpkin ravioli with sage browned butter

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...

What's for Dinner? 08/31
Cauliflower and chickpea curry with basmati, cucumber raita, and jeera papads.
Cook the Book: 'Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book'
Never had BBQ as a long term veggie - but I love those grilled veggies!
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Layer sauerkraut in a casserole dish, place pork chops on top and season (I use cracked black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika), cover with lid or seal with foil, bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. I like to make mashed potatoes with it, but have also just done steamed veggies on the side.

Favorite family dinner would have to be my childhood birthday meal of Earl Abel's fried chicken and black bottom pie.

We called it "chicken and glop", but it was chicken and rice. How did my mother put up with us?
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
It depends on the weather for me, but at this time of year it's roast chicken, mashed potatoes, peas (homegrown, please; frozen peas from the store are inevitably overripe), green salad, and pie.

My favorite family dinner would have to be posole. We have it every christmas eve with fresh tamales and it is sooo good.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Gosh, my favorite family dinner!? That's hard . My family is full of great cooks so I guess it has more to do with the atmosphere. So then I would have to go with Christmas eve dinner. 14 cousins plus 16 Aunts and Uncles all eating and drinking and being merry. Usually there's a goose (which doesn't hurt) and floating islands for desert. super yummm, it warms my heart just to think about it.

Boring but comforting - an overly stuffed tuna salad sandwich, on wonderful crusty rye bread, a slight smear of mayo, crisp iceberg lettuce, juicy tomato, cut in half please.

Irish Coddle. A big pot, almost stew but with not quite enough liquid, of potatoes, bacon, sausage and onion. Gets you fattened up for hibernation season.

barbeque salmon and broccoli slaw, mom's favorite summer specialty
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
One of my favorite family meals is banh xeo. They're savory, yellow crepes and having all sorts of people in my family through marriage, some being born in Vietnam, some being born here, etc., my mom gets a lot of different requests as to what to put in them. First she makes the vegetarian kind for those folks then regular Americanized ones then the hardcore ones.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
(I posted this in the wrong place earlier today--so this is a "re"post!) A general comment about all the "Cook the Book" posts and recipes: The publishers are very smart to provide five free copies to SE because your write-ups have caused me to go online and buy many many cookbooks that I never would have known about otherwise! Sometimes I enter the giveaway with a comment, but I know my chances of winning are slim, so I go ahead and order the book in a frenzy of impatience. The Mark Peel cookbook is an example; it will be winging its way to me today because I love the cover photo and the recipes for green bean salad and mashed potatoes--and I can't wait to receive it! This has been true for several other cookbooks, too. (One time I actually won the cookbook in the SE giveaway, and had to give that second copy to my son. He was Seriously Happy!)
