Do You Have a Favorite Mustard?
Hengstenberg Medium Hot German Mustard, great flavor without the vinegar taste of most yellow mustards.

Cold salmon cakes and meatloaf are even better the next day.

Cook the Book: 'The Craft of Baking'
Warm cheese streudel with raspberry and cream sauce at an outdoor cafe in a small Austrian town. Can't remember the name of the town, but it's where they filmed the wedding from The Sound of Music.

Chicken Fried Steak and Panko
I use Panko crumbs all the time when I make schnitzel, and have even used it on cubed steak, makes a very crispy crust. But then it's not traditional chicken fried steak.
Cook the Book: 'L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook'
When we lived in Georgia there was a vendor at a small market that sold fried pork rinds that he cooked on site. As you left the booth with your purchase you could still hear them crackling in the bag.
Cook the Book: Eugenia Bone's 'Well-Preserved'
This year I'll try canning tomatoes.
Last year I did the pickled jalapenos with carrots and onions. Also mixed up a bread & butter pickle brine but added jalapenos instead of cucumbers for a sweet heat. I have a lot of requests for more bread & butter jalapenos this year, they are great on sandwiches.
Celebrate National Candy Corn Day with Candy Trivia and Candy Corn Products
Jelly Belly makes the best candy corn, they have a buttery creamy taste instead of tasting like pure sugar. Brach's comes in a close second.

I'd stay in the US and make the rounds of the different regional styles of BBQ.
Cook the Book: Serves One
stir fry from whatever happens to be in the fridge, along with either rice or noodles.
Cook the Book: 'Screen Doors and Sweet Tea'
A good and strong sweet tea. Not that sweet colored water that you get in most restaurants.
Cook the Book: The Cornbread Gospels

Cook the Book: 'Panini Express'
Pesto, mozzarella and spicy capacolla.

Cook the Book: 'The Tex-Mex Cookbook'
A big pot of Beef Chili. Then put out dishes of corn chips, cheese, onions, beans, jalapenos, etc. Let everyone customize their own bowl.

Steel cut oats and barley. Slowly trying to introduce more whole grains.

Crispy, but not crunchy, crumbly.
