Cook the Book: 'The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook: The Original Classics'
No, but I've made recipes like hers. I always find her recipes to be slight variations on recipes I have in cookbooks I already own. She's good for ideas, though.
Seriously Delicious Giveaway: Zingerman's Gift Certificate
Brie brie brie brie brie. But all cheese, really. Except for this one really stinky one called Shropshire. It was like a super sharp cheddar with the gorgonzola strain all through it, and when my friend unwrapped it, it smelled like someone crapped their pants.
But mostly brie.
Cook the Book: 'How to Cook Everything Vegetarian' Book Giveaway
Roasted fall vegetables with pasta. You know: stuff like eggplant, squash, peppers, and the like. Adding fresh tomatoes, fresh garlic, and a healthy splash of balsamic vinegar just before eating makes it extra good, as does a heavy application of parmesan cheeeeeeeeeese.
Also, butternut squash soup with bleu cheese on top is a favorite.
Cook the Book: 'Baking, From My Home to Yours'
Black and whites! Full size, extra cakey.
Question of the Day: Snap! We love crisp food.
Sugar snap peas, raw. And eating them makes me feel good 'cause they're healthy.
My Guily Pleasure: How bad is it?
When I was younger, I would sometimes help my grandma make stuffed cabbage. If there was any leftover ground meat/rice mixture (raw), we'd make sandwiches out of it and eat them while the stuffed cabbage was cooking. Mmmm...raw meat sandwiches -- ground raw meat, no less. Anyway, she lived to be 81, and she did that her whole life. So...you're probably okay!
(I, however, gave up red meat many years ago. But I love sushi.)
Cook the Book Giveaway: 'Peace, Love, and Barbecue'
It's a tie between pulled pork and ribs, with a slightly spicy ketchup-based sauce. (I'm Jewish, so part of why I love ribs and pulled pork is the whole lure-of-the-forbidden aspect.)
Question of the Day: What's your favorite doughnut style?
Anything without peanuts! (Sorry, I don't like nuts in my dessert.)
And my mom still gets a little teary-eyed when thinking about Chock Full O'Nuts nutted cream cheese sandwiches.
Cook the Book: 'Donuts, An American Passion'
Sweetwater's Donut Mill in Kalamazoo, Michigan. In fact, my friend and I made a documentary about it. (Link if you're interested.)

Interesting food combinations
LOL I thought I was the only one that dipped french fries in my Frostys -- milkshakes and sundaes too. Yay!!!
When I went to McDonald's as a kid, I used to throw 4-5 french fries in my saimin* and fish them out later. They were soggy, but for whatever reason, I loved it.
* Hawaiian version of ramen except in a fish-based broth, with fishcake, green onions, and char siu on top.
@Chisai - I introduced the mayo+soy sauce as asparagus dip to my husband years ago and he LOVES it. He uses it with fish sticks, french fries, anything you can think of.
I always...always...dip my french fries in mayo-ketchup-mustard (1/2 mayo, 1/3 ketchup, 1/6 mustard), unless I'm at a Greek place, then I dip them in the tzatziki. Replace "mayo" with Kewpie mayo when I am at home.
Growing up, I used to dip my fries in honey, mainly because it was leftover from the fried chicken. I would also dab brine from pickled jalapenos on my fried chicken and eat it with whole jalapenos. I was also one of those kids who loved digging for and eating marrow. What a mess!
French onion dip lightly spread on fresh sour dough bread and sour cream and onion potato chips in the middle.
