A Lesson for Omnivores: Vegetarian Myths, Debunked
I've been vegetarian since I was 2. I got violently ill and ended up in the hospital with dehydration 3 times. The first time, my parents thought they had undercooked something and gave me food poisoning. After the third time, they told me I didn't have to eat anything I didn't want to. I haven't purposefully had meat since then. I'm not vegan...I would die without butter and cheese. When my husband and I were dating, he and one of my friends slipped a small piece of chicken into something I was eating when I was out of the room. I immedietely got sick. Yeah, I still married him. I hate that people willfully try to sneak meat into my food. I respect your decison to eat meat. It shouldn't be that hard for you to respect my decision not to.
Does Where You Live Affect What You Like To Eat?
Yes, absolutely. I have lived in Germany for 3 years. It's almost impossible to be vegetarian here. Don't get me wrong, they do have a fantastic vegetarian restauraunt very close to where I live, but it's hard to get non-vegetarians to go there. At a "normaI" german restauraunt I can get pommes or noodles, but that gets old after a while. Fortunately, I can go to the commissary and get "American" groceries. I seriously miss going to any town and finding a diner or little hole-in-the-wall and eating.
Peanut Butter and Jelly: A Serious Eats Special Report
The bread must always be toasted. I can't stand the bread right out of the package. Plus, if it's warm the peanut butter melts and that equals heaven on bread.
Favorite thing to eat with mayo
In college my favorite sandwich was a peanut butter, strawberry jelly, banana and mayonnaise sandwich: Toast the bread, put mayo on both inside parts, then the peanut butter on one side, the jelly on the other, and then bananas. I know it seems disgusting, but it's absolutely delicious!
Is there a such thing as too much fried potato?
I'm not so much a fan of french fries, but if it's normal fried potato, I believe there is no such thing as too much. Kind of like friends, the more, the merrier.

What are you known for?
1) Soup - specifically, Arroz Caldo. I get requests even when it's 95 degrees w/ insane humidity outside.
2) Salsa, asian style (I add lime juice, fish sauce and the tiniest bit of sesame oil. Don't knock it till you try it!)
3) Shrimp Salad (I cook whole shrimp in a pot chockful of garlic, green onion, celery, bits of whatever vegies are sitting in my fridge, lots of black peppercorn, and salt. After peeling, I throw the shells/head back into the broth to reduce. The dressing is nothing more than a good mayo, lime juice, sambal olek, green onions, celery and a few tsps of that concentrated shrimp broth.)
4) Anchovy pasta. Recipe courtesy of the NYTimes. I guess I'm the only one in the family willing to suffer through the smell of anchovies sauteeing.

@Brooke29: Sorry I didn't get back to you right away-actually had to do work at work-and I just started another semester. I LOVE Old Bay. It signifies seafood to me. I even put it on french fries. Mmmm. Anyway, I am stoked you said it works.
The Chilli is good, I'm not going to lie. I mix up ground sirloin (I like to get the 8% Fat variety), with some homemade sauce, a mix of spices (garlic powder, cumin, sea salt, fresh ground pepper, and cayanne pepper), sprinkle on some chilli powder, medium salsa, and some hot sauce (we prefer Franks), and add beans if you like. I can take 'em or leave 'em so it depends who I am making it for. Top with shredded Monteray Jack and Mozzarella (sour cream too if you want) and you have goodness.:)

Breads and making up dessert recipes on the fly. And preparing meals for large groups, such as church socials.
What are you known for?
1. baba ghanoush (I use a lot of roasted garlic in it to make it mellow, and people seem to like that!)
2. my mom's tortellini soup recipe
3. grilling - my bf has perfected his steak-grilling method, and I like to cut up a ton of veggies, toss them in evoo+balsamic vinegar+some spices and toss those on the grill. great way to feed a bunch of people on short notice :)
I also have to get a few more of my mom's recipes (brownies, cobbler, cinnamon rolls) that will make this list as soon as I make them and feed others .....

@whoizzit: I marinate my tri tip in one package of onion soup mix (the dehydrated kind...and don't rehydrate) and a bottle of red wine, with quite a few crushed cloves of garlic thrown in...I also throw in fresh citrus juice, when I have some...lime is my fave. I leave it in the fridge for 3-4 hours and then grill it. It's scrumptious. Extra good with salsa and avocado on fresh tortillas--tri tip burritos, yum!

About: I'm vegetarian. I have a 19 pound ball of fury in the form of a 3 year old miniature schnauzer. I'm from the United States originally, but I have lived in Germany for 3 years.
Favorite foods: Grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese, carrots, potatoes in any form...if it doesn't contain meat, I'm pretty good to go.
Last bite on earth: Carrots, sunflower seeds and ranch dressing all on one plate, a grilled cheese sandwich and Jagermeister mixed with Red Bull...oh yeah, and a ginormous Helles.
