Mashed rutabaga! Something my mom makes only at the holidays. Yummy.

Rutabaga: aka Swede, aka Yellow Turnip

My parents' neighbor Jeff makes the best baby back ribs. For a restaurant? Hmmm. Some little joint in Silverton, Colorado that I can't remember the name of.

A very dumpy restaurant in Lagos, Nigeria: pickled onions and cucumbers, wonderful butter chicken, and the smell of bug spray ever present. I really liked that restaurant, but won't be traveling back to Nigeria any time soon.

Hey! I want one of those Bobby Flay books! But, the link to enter the give-away doesn't work!

Just had a great burger today for lunch, and am planning on some for the weekend, too.

Vente Iced Tea has four pumps of syrup. OMG. Thanks Kimberly for that tip.

Love Olive Loaf! Hard roll, mustard, pickles, onions!

dinner - tomorrow.

Mary Kitchen or Hormel canned corned beef or roast beef hash.

So many! I remember digging spring onions out of Gram's garden and eating them all the way home in the car, burping onion gas all the way! Ok, I was like 8 years old.

I loved trips to the nearest McDonalds (Miami in 1960's) which was about 30 mins away. My dad would take us on Saturdays and we would sit under the trees alongside what is now a major highway and feed the extra bread to the birds.

My grandmother's homemade lemon meringue pie. Sneaking into the kitchen and scooping the filling out from under the meringue topping and rearranging things to look "normal" and later hearing my dad holler "Hey! Who ate my pie?" LoL.

Fun giveaway! Thanks for the memories .....

A lot of good suggestions. The white sauce with egg and parsley for your ham sounds great. Yum.

Just don't feed the eggs to your dogs. Believe me, you will be very very sorry.

Mustard! On hamburgers, hot dogs, in salad dressing, on sandwiches, in dips, on saltine crackers (yep) ... Love it!

I have some generic yellow mustard, Plochman's yellow mustard, Wegman's own brand of Dijon, some stone ground Irish mustard with Whiskey, German brown mustard, and a can of dry Coleman's mustard in the cabinet.

You can have the ketchup! But, don't take my mustard!!

I even made my own ground mustard once with garlic ... yum!!!

Polenta with creamy mushroom sauce, and my friend's mom's recipe for escarole and bean soup.
