IHOP Adds Chicken: International House of Chicken and Waffles?

The only time I've ever had chicken & waffles was at the now defunct Twiam's in Louisville. They served the most amazing waffles I've ever had and the chicken was great too. I'm afraid my bar is set very high.

Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork ideas?

Add a couple of smoked ham hocks or a hunk of country ham to the slow cooker to add some richer flavor to the pork. The meat on the hocks can be shredded along with the pork.

Do you shop Farmers' Markets or belong to a CSA?

I live in Minnesota and subscribe to a CSA from a farm in Wisconsin for berries, melons, vegetables and cheese. I also fill in at various farmer's markets. They're just too fun to resist. My hobby seems to be collecting food.

BTW, if you're new to a CSA and discouraged about how much you discard, you get better at using it every year. I didn't believe it would happen but it's true. You start knowing what to expect and when, and you can plan.

Cook the Book: The Grand Central Baking Book

Almond kringle and date filled sugar cookies at Denny's 5th Ave Bakery in Bloomington, MN. This is a throwback bakery where you can still buy cookies for under $1. They're usually .50-.75. Denny's bought the kringle recipe from Blackey's bakery, an old school Eastern European bakery which closed down a few years ago in Northeast Mpls.

Dinner Tonight: Chipped Beef Gravy

My mom used to make this when I was little. I still make it, though rarely, and it's great comfort food. I make it much like above and serve over toast.

Cook the Book: 'The Best Soups in the World'

That's too hard! Maybe a butternut squash with sausage, wild rice, and corn that I make. Or the noodle dumpling soup with roast pork at Mandarin Kitchen? Or fried egg and tomato soup at Grand Szechuan? Too hard to chose.

Oh, and Milo ice cream sandwiches in Singapore at Sunei Bulogh park on another unbelievably hot and humid day.

What Are Your Best Vending Machine Memories?

When I was little (the 60s) getting chicken & dumplings from the vending machine where my brother went to the orthodontist.

When I was about 12, getting a bottled orange soda from those old box-style pop machines at a gas station in the middle of nowhere on the prairie of Saskatchewan. It was 105F outside and the soda was so cold it was slushy.
