What A $47,221 Lunch Looks Like
pbelardo - I agree. Insane. Ridiculous. Offensive.
California Travel Suggestions
suthingirl has it right. Go to Monterey and Big Sur. Drive the scenic 1. It will blow.you.away. And Passionfish is a great suggestion.

Spaghetti and meatballs. It was a Thursday night regular and always, always when I had a band concert that night. To this day, I'm always tempted to make spaghetti and meatballs when I'm having friends over. It's an easy, comforting family meal.

Seriously Asian: Thai Curries, Part One: Yellow
Wonderful writing and delicious food Chichi. I was thrilled to see this heading pop up in my reader, as Thai curries are among my favorite dishes ever. This does not seem daunting in the least. I can't wait to see a red, green or Panang next...

The Burger Lab: Bacon Attack!
Ridiculously awesome. Thanks for the post Kenji!
Authentic Pancit Recipe
You must have been looking at my friend Katie's post she put up last night. It did look delicious. Afterward I went to read about pancit and am curious about how many others make it, what makes it "authentic" etc. Would love to hear from another reader who knows more than I do!
Thanksgiving Vegetable Sides
I made green beans with pancetta and shallots last year. Everyone loved it. I got it from Elise at Simply Recipes:

Any food you could eat daily til' you kick the bucket?!
Spinach. Period.
The 10 Worst Food Trends? Really?
@ simon, is there a difference?
Do You Check Out Other Peoples' Fridges?
I don't do it in a sneaky way. But at some point, I am likely to open my friends' refrigerators to get water or, more often, because we're cooking together. So I totally look. And judge, though I don't mean that as negatively as it sounds. I just draw certain amusing conclusions, about how they eat, how they cook, how they organize their stuff compared to how I organize mine and thus how they think of certain foods together. Stuff like that. I find it interesting.
Video: Improv Everywhere's Grocery Store Musical
I saw that too, that guy was like... uh, whatever... hehe. I LOVE Improv Everywhere. Thanks for posting this Adam. Off to watch the food court one...
hamburger contents?
tusti, I am not "thick." That comment seemed to come out of nowhere, apropos of nothing that preceded it. I'm not sure how you can't see that... but thanks for the clarification.
Bad Host: Invited to dinner and asked to PAY! Would you?
Me too hahaha. Nice.
hamburger contents?
tusti, I flat out don't understand what your comment was referring to. *Genuinely confused*
Healthy & Delicious: Spinach and Cannellini Bean Dip
I not only LOVE the idea of this spinach one, I thank you, Maureen, for mentioning Deb's roasted red pepper one for a pairing. What a perfect, perfect idea!!
All About Curry
I have that book as well and it's a delight. Very informative about curries from every possible place, and with excellent methods/recipes.
Crawfish at The Boiling Crab in California
I never thought about getting to go. GREAT idea.
I've been to the one in Garden Grove and loved it. There's nothing like The Whole Sha-bang. You're dirty and sticky and smelly when you're done gorging, but it is so worth it. The shrimp is also good and the king crab claws are excellent.
Chris Kimball's NY Times Editorial
Want to be even more agitated?
"http://christopherkimball.wordpress.com/2009/10/09/ship-of-fools
"In cooking, as in all things, there is a right way and a wrong way."
UGH. My problem with Kimball in a nutshell. Why can't he allow us all to learn, and have fun doing it? He's so joyless.
I'm also the one CC came after last summer for altering a recipe and posting it on my blog, so I'm probably a bit biased to begin with.
Selenium: What it is and why it's good for you.
Yeah this d-bag posted one a while back (since removed) about eating garlic all over everything on a trip to San Diego. We already know garlic is great. And yes, especially from Central Coast, garlic capital blah blah blah. We don't need you here selling. Go away!
Casual Fall dinner party ideas
Oh wait, I love italiancupcake's suggestion - I do lasagna often for small crowds - easy, inexpensive and always delicious. I've done baked ziti too, one pan with meat, one with spinach. Perfect!
Casual Fall dinner party ideas
Coq au vin? I don't know how complicated you consider that to be, but it's a nice dinner party dish.
Chicken Liver Pasta - Anyone know this recipe?
Betteirene beat me to it - I have the book Lidia's Italy at home and yes, it's that recipe. True it isn't available online so you'd have to go buy it. I wish I had the book here at work, I'd send it to you annotated!
Asian Pears
This is a great topic! I've never done anything but eat them plain and I'm intrigued to try something else with them. Hub and I adore them.

My family did roast chicken dinners every Sunday when I was growing up. Can't beat grandma's cooking!

Spaghetti with meatballs and chunks of Italian sausage in a smooth garlicky red sauce, caesar salad with homemade garlic croutons, warm crusty Italian bread with butter, a nice barolo, and lemon cheesecake for dessert.

fajitas, hands down.

Layer sauerkraut in a casserole dish, place pork chops on top and season (I use cracked black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika), cover with lid or seal with foil, bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. I like to make mashed potatoes with it, but have also just done steamed veggies on the side.

Mom's homemade lasagna, bread, and apple pie.

Coming from a Turkish household, my favorite family dinner is mercimek çorbasi (lentil soup) with köfte (ground beef/meatball-like patties), domatesli pilav (tomato rice), and yogurt.

Favorite family dinner would have to be my childhood birthday meal of Earl Abel's fried chicken and black bottom pie.

Sauerbraten and homemade sides.

Really anything, as long as it's accompanied by family and laughter. We often have shrimp scampi in the summer and a roast with Yorkshire Pudding in the winter....mmm.... :)

Our favorite family dinner is Homemade Lasagna with a green salad and homemade yeast rolls.
Thank you so much for the chance to win.

We called it "chicken and glop", but it was chicken and rice. How did my mother put up with us?
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
It depends on the weather for me, but at this time of year it's roast chicken, mashed potatoes, peas (homegrown, please; frozen peas from the store are inevitably overripe), green salad, and pie.

meatloaf and mashed potatoes!

Wtf?! Are all Nello's dishes laced with gold??? I can't believe people are stupid enough to pay those ridiculously high prices...

My favorite family dinner would have to be posole. We have it every christmas eve with fresh tamales and it is sooo good.

This wasn't a meal; it was a money laundering operation.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Gosh, my favorite family dinner!? That's hard . My family is full of great cooks so I guess it has more to do with the atmosphere. So then I would have to go with Christmas eve dinner. 14 cousins plus 16 Aunts and Uncles all eating and drinking and being merry. Usually there's a goose (which doesn't hurt) and floating islands for desert. super yummm, it warms my heart just to think about it.

ribs. lasagna. soup. anything my mom makes

@Peensez: I guarantee you that Nello's didn't use $2-a-box pasta for the pasta specials.
I, too, am amused by all the outrage. A lot of people made a lot of money off this guy: isn't that a good thing?
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Our favorite comfort food is mapo tofu - spicy and warming - over rice with some sauteed greens. Something about one bowl foods you can hold in your hand do it for us...

Pasta with meat sauce and bread!
