Yum! The first time (and only time, besides when I make it at home) that I've had esquites (thanks for informing me that the corn in a cup is NOT elotes...) was in Chicago's Maxwell Street Market. I don't remember the vendor, but if you walk around you'll find one. Yum!

Truffled macaroni and cheese. About the only time i've eaten the stuff!

@wunami lulz... i was checking to see if anyone said anything about that...

Truffle macaroni and cheese with a bread crumb topping...so good. also, truffled thin fries with Parmesan cheese...OM NOM NOM

I'm thinking maybe a butternut squash rissoto?

OMG i love alton brown... he's one of the main reasons why i decided to become a chef 7 years ago... anyway..this year I'm planning on putting on my table, is of course, the alton brown turkey (never fails), kabocha squash soup, mashed parsnips and taters (with garlic, of course) pumpkin knot buns, Chestnut stuffing, braised brussel sprouts, orange cranberry relish, and a pumpkin chiffon pie. Om nom nom...

i forgot one! grilled peanut butter and maple syrup sandwich! SO GOOD!

As a young'n I had a toy poodle named Peaches. :)

the Fast Supper.... its so WRONG its AWESOME. =D See if you can name all the holy fast foodies.

Morel mushrooms... I go hunting for them near my mothers home in northern michigan... but it seems as though i never find them when im looking for them....always when I am not! they are so delicious plainly ol sauteed in butter, a little S&P and yum.

Oh yes I have! When I was about 11 or 12, my Dad (who was born and raised in Quebec) and I decided to tap the few maple trees that were scattered around our house. It was about a 2 week project... we had an old woodstove that he pulled out of the garage and set up outside with giant pots to boil the syrup in. (forget about doing it inside! oi!) The syrup was awesome! My grandmother was in charge of watching the fire during the day while my folks were working...and she forgot about it one day. The syrup? Well, if it hadnt had turned completely black and toffee-like would have been Tire! Which no one in the States has ever heard of. Its maple syrup that is golden clear, but the consistency and thickness of...well honey almost. And let me attest that that is one of the yummiest things to spread across crepes on a cold morning. :)

when i was living and working at disney i made thanksgiving dinner for my roomates...though instead of a turkey, everyone had their own cornish game hen! however, i forgot some people are squemish when it comes to food that still almost looks like what it did in living life.... my immediate roomate never touched her bird! ...more for me!
