Haha, AuntJone, I'm an original Hoosier too. You can find good food in Indy, but they certainly do hide it.

I've actually tried a deep-fried oreo and I was not impressed. Other than the novelty, what's the big deal, deliciousness-wise?

Loooove Kielbaza, chorizo (I had an interesting pizza over the weekend topped with Queso blanco, cilantro tomato sauce, and chorizo), and homemade pork sage sausages with fresh applesauce (good Irish recipe)

Recipe for the pork and sage sausages here!

Yummy!

After watching No Reservations, I really want some goey duck clam!
I'm curious about Shark Fin soup, but certainly don't want to add to the endangerment of certain shark species or the practice of finning (eeep!).
I'm moving to Ireland in the fall, so some haggis is in order jonfoxx.

I'm going to make a stew tonight with the scrapings of corn, chicken thighs, and fresh basil. The bounty of the farmers' market.

Nice tip mayam!

Love: rosemary (with roasting chickens of course), watermelon, chocolate tea (oh yes)

Hate: canned tuna, argh!

I'm new to the city, so I have to go with Stones and Bones in Merrillville, Indiana. I love my ribs!

Yeah, honestly, I feel those copy editing notes do nothing to enrich the experience of the story. Let's get back to the chef gossip. =)

I never, ever buy standard eggs anymore, only free-range, omega-3 enhanced. It's the one thing I really allow myself to be a total yuppie-snob about.
And I love organic, heirloom tomatoes

I also always cut the mold off the cheese, it's still perfectly good. I completely ignore recommendations for how long produce lasts also. It's all about the smell test.

@caley- You throw me off everytime, because my name is Caley also! I seldom meet anyone with the same spelling!

As a single female living alone, I feel your pain Lia. Consuming an entire head of lettuce before it goes bad is an impossible feat for little old me. But at the same time, I do feel that cooking for myself gives me a sense of independence and accomplishment...and makes me eat healthier. It's really hard to get a lot of fruits and vegetables in your diet if you don't buy them fresh yourself. Usually, I end up cooking for two and taking the leftovers for work the next day.

Mochi!

I have been tempted by the hydroponic kitchen garden that allows you to grow fresh herbs, tomatoes, etc. But I doubt my green thumb even here.
