Oh man! These sound so freaking delicious! After getting a recipe from The Kitchn last Yule I made some fantastic peppermint marshmallows that were a complete hit. As it is, I have a Thanksgiving pot luck every year these would be perfect for. Thanks for sharing this!

Snapshots from the UK: Turkish Delight
I've always wanted to try it! When I was a kid I thought it was completely all fantasy as well, though in my older years, working at Big Lots for a brief time we had a Fruits Delight, which was similar but I figured was the closest I'd ever get to it...

Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I'm SUCH a ranch fanatic. My best friend always compares me to Homer Simpson in the episode he exclaims, "bring me my ranch hose!" But with that, I'm also extremely picky with it. Name brand ranch is absolute rubbish and you can completely taste the difference. That being said, homemade, restaurant made, whatever you call it is the triumphant winner in the situation, and my obvious choice in what I love to drown my pizza in.
Los Angeles Area Burger Roundup
Most people I know say Tommy's has kind of gone down hill, granted still needed of a review on account that it's pretty huge.
The best is still Apollo Burgers and Bob's Burgers.
What's the Best Mexican Food Town in the U.S.?
La Casa Garcia in Garden Grove was on the top of my list for best Mexican food for a long time, but after living years in the Phoenix area, there were many different places I was able to tame the Mexican food beast within me.
Anyone know any good Mexican food in Nashville?
I'm voting for Phoenix though, even if it isn't on the list.
I Am Tired of Spreading Cream Cheese on a Bagel for Myself
Pretty sure I just had a bagel with cream cheese this morning and "making it easier" was never something that crossed my mind while doing it. This is just a little bit absurd.
Serious Sandwiches: Navajo Lamb Sandwich
Mmm, these are the things I'll miss when leaving Phoenix.
Photo of the Day: Peppermint Marshmallows
Thanks for the links! I'll definitely be trying these out, it looks pretty easy and I know, no one I know can pass up marshmallows. :3
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Heritage Smoked Ham
(First post, no ham for me, but still fun to answer!) If it's deli sliced ham, I love it mixed with turkey, a little bit of mayo and mustard, on wheat bread (yes, quite plain). But, if it's slices off as leftovers from the holidays I enjoy it with mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and gravy on top, in a roll. :-)

How do you get a white trash girl to suck your d**k?
Dip it in ranch dressing.
What's the Best Mexican Food Town in the U.S.?
This one is an absolute no brainer. I am a software programmer and fortunate enough to work for a company that allows me to work from home, I try my best to make a point of living in a different city every year, I pack light and go. I've gone from southern cali, mid-west to the east coast and NOTHING compares to the mexican food in San Diego! Travel just 60 miles up the coast to Los Angeles and the difference is night and day, doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same category. San Diego is on the border of Mexico, and the mexican food gets exponentially worse the farther you get from it. Ask anyone who has actually tried mexican food in mulitple cities, I will guarantee the same response, San Diego hands down. Anyone who calls them nachos instead of carne asada chips, or taquitos instead of rolled tacos can automatically be discredited in this discussion. Those of you who have lived in San Diego will know what I mean.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I don't put ranch on anything! Gross tasting stuff.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
Amen "omnomnom"! (I'm from Mich, too. Same area)
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I absolutely love ranch on my pizza. Granted, I am a middle-school student (though homeschooled), and got the idea from my (middle school, homeschooled) friends after we started dipping French-Fries in Ranch (that's justified in Mich--here most of the fries are way too greasy or way too dry). We decided to try it on our pizza--and it's great. Only Hidden Valley (tm) works though. Deep dish pizza doesn't need it, fortunately. A group fave for us is cayenne pepper, fresh black pepper, ranch, and tabasco sauce. I agree, if it's good pizza, it doesn't need condiments, but (1) pizza in metro-detroit isn't that good, and (2), it doesn't matter if it needs it--if ya want it, I say put it on unashamedly!
I Am Tired of Spreading Cream Cheese on a Bagel for Myself
OY GEVALT!!!!!!!!
How can you guys dilly dally about a product that has brought so much energy, so much passion, so much taste, so much emotion to this forum?
I myself am appalled. People who point out that this product is for lazy people are lazy themsevles. To the beguiled wonder who tried to boycott Kraft since the mid-1970's I bannish you from this topic. You obviously wouldn't know a true eat if it slapped you in the glasses. To LeeBee who claims : "Fake food, fake nutrition, real obesity", you obviously dont understand the many benefits that bagelfuls bring. It is sealed with a green seal so it must be healthy.
My work here is done- until next time,

Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I have NEVER heard of this culinary habit of ranch dressing on pizza until I read this in the Wash. Post:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/27/AR2008052700821.html
It just seems like such an incongruous flavor or condiment to add to a pizza.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
Nothing is better than Ham & Pineapple pizza dipped in Ranch.
I hated pizza until I tried it with ranch. Any type of pizza goes great with ranch really except Mexican style, I usually dip that in sour cream.

I still don't understand the individually wrapped hotdogs...
What's the Best Mexican Food Town in the U.S.?
Good grief, anyone who says that San Antonio has bad Mexican food and is "touristy" clearly didn't stagger far enough from the Riverwalk to learn anything about this city and its cuisine. People who actually *live* here don't go near the tourist areas, unless they have no choice.
And to say that LA *isn't* touristy but still has good Mexican food is just laughable. I didn't find one decent restaurant in all of California when I lived there. The food was horrible, and the service abominable.
When you get away from the downtown area of San Antonio, that's when you find out just how awesome the Mexican food is here. There are dozens of wonderful mom-and pop joints tucked into unexpected places all over San Antonio. You just have to know how to look.
And if you want the best Mexican food, anywhere, Texas's Lower Rio Grande Valley is the place to go. Until you've had seso or eyeball soup or panchos, until you can lay out the perfect botana platter, you don't know jack about authentic MX food.
Pumpkin-Spice Marshmallows
Oui,oui...I count my blessings everyday! Thanks for your quick response. Will give it a try!
Pumpkin-Spice Marshmallows
Yes, Girlcook, you should be able to substitute both by weight. Glucose is a little less sweet than corn syrup, but it should yield about the same results texturally.
Oh, to live in a country where sheet gelatin and glucose are more readily available than powdered gelatin and corn syrup....:o)
Pumpkin-Spice Marshmallows
Thank you for sharing this recipe & Eileen's book. I'd love to try making these, but I have a question about a couple ingredients: do you know if sheet gelatine will work the same as powdered gelatin (at the same weight)? I stock sheet gelatin in my pantry....(cheaper to buy where I'm located). Also, I have glucose but not corn syrup. I'm guessing these would be interchangeable. Have any advice? Thanks! :)

Sorry for these long-delayed responses. I don't seem to get notifications for the majority of new comments, so comments on older posts often slip through the cracks.
vernete: I'm not sure if it'd be worth going to the trouble of making peanut-butter marshmallows for the purpose of melting them down to make fudge. Peanut-butter marshmallows are, however, possible. I used them, coated in buttery toasted Japanese bread crumbs, as a restaurant petit four for a time - sort of a take on a fluffer-nutter sandwich.
As cyberroo pointed out, mixing fatty ingredients like peanut butter into a marshmallow batter can cause problems. So, to make my peanut-butter marshmallows, I began with a plain marshmallow base and gently folded in slightly warmed peanut butter just before spreading the marshmallow batter in a pan. Folding in the peanut butter, leaving it in well-distributed ribbons, rather than thoroughly mixing it in to the plain marshmallow, is crucial to maintaining a stable, light finished product.
frolis: I'm sure that there is some way to make marshmallows with agar, but I've never tried it. I'll tinker around with it soon, and write up a post if I end up with good results...
Snapshots from the UK: Turkish Delight
Turkish Delight is the usual for my family every year at Christmas, Cadbury even make Dairy Milk with Turkish Delight in.
Snapshots from the UK: Turkish Delight
They have chocolate covered Turkish Delight here in the UK that's not very good but I like it with pistachios.
Pumpkin-Spice Marshmallows
I used 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice instead and they came out great! use a little less if you want more pumpkin-y flavor.
What's the Best Mexican Food Town in the U.S.?
There is a place a bit north of Santa Fe called Chimayo. This is where the world famous Chimayo chiles come from. The place to eat there is Rancho de Chimayo--THE BEST for Mexican! Amazing atmosphere, service and food. Don't miss it.
Pumpkin-Spice Marshmallows
Just made these (http://is.gd/9aIW), I am going to use them to make Marshmallow Apple Pie. I don't usually like marshmallows, but man. Incredible.
Pumpkin-Spice Marshmallows
I just spread these in the pan, and they already taste delicious, all gooey! I think I'll cut them with a gingerbread man cookie cutter to bring them to Thanksgiving. I was also thinking that, for those who like white chocolate, a very nice S'more could be a fun recipe!
Snapshots from the UK: Turkish Delight
I never tried Turkish Delight until I was in college. My first taste was a homemade batch - I found the recipe years before I ever found a shoppe that stocked the sweet. The results were tasty, if not a perfect specimen. Later, I found a little shop in Pike Place Market (in Seattle) that stocked Turkish Delight. I LOVE the rose flavor!
If anyone has never tried Turkish Delight, they can get a similar experience by finding themselves a box of Aplets & Cotlets, made in Cashmere, WA. (Costco stocks them this time of year.) These candies were invented by two men (one from Turkey and the other from....???). They wanted to find a way to use the plentiful and cheap apples and apricots in the region to make candy. The result is Turkish Delight, studded with walnuts and flavored with more American flavors.

i had it quite often in greece and always really liked it. i bought a box of the rose flavor at zabar's and it wasn't nearly as good as i remembered. you do have to eat it there, i guess.
What's the Best Mexican Food Town in the U.S.?
Tucson, Arizona. Glad to see so many giving love to The Old Pueblo.
1) Sonoran Hot Dogs (El Guero Canelo/BK's) - bacon wrapped hot dogs with beans, onions, mustard, mayo, tomatoes, your choice of salsas, cheese and grilled peppers/green onions on a soft bolillo roll. $2.29, $1.75 on Wednesdays.
2) 24 hour drive through taquerias. Under $4 for a burrito? At 3am?
3) Really good sit down Mexican restaurants. Mi Nidito. Love the nopales simmered in red chile sauce with freshly made flour tortillas.
4) Even the U of A's Mexican place, Cafe Sonora, has decent mole and chimichangas. If a damn college cafeteria can provide good Mexican food, there should be no argument.
I rest my case.

@ Christopher - LOL!!!!!! "Another guy at work said it tasted like a grandmother."
THAT WAS HILARIOUS.
