From the first I heard about it the cornbread stuffing with bacon and pecans wormed it's way into my heart.

Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'

My mom always bragged that when she got married the only thing she could cook was fudge.
Somehow, by the time I was old enough to remember, she turned out a righteous leg of lamb. Yum!

Fresh Food on TV: Weekday Edition

My wife likes Cake Boss much more than Ace of Cakes--and she works in that business.
I prefer the Cakes of 'Ace' but find the drama of the 'Boss' more entertaining.

I will miss the blooming onion. I never opted to take my chance to have one before they were declare illegal. I snooze, I looze (yep).

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Cake Wrecks'

My first cooking job was at a nursing home that was about to close. The chef left me a recipe for apple crisp that called for 'fat'. I used the bacon grease that he had been saving for the birds.

Gotta be French Onion w/ a great big crouton and a whole mess of crispy cheese on top!

I love bacon 'cause it rhymes with 'Macon": a place I've never bean but always wanted to go to.

Seriously Sick: Food For When You're Under the Weather

I just had to do this (doctors orders):

chicken broth
soy

sesame oil
garlic powder

I hardly missed eating.

Saving Bacon Fat

I keep my fat in a jelly jar in the 'fridge, but I've not been straining it. So far there have been no problems. What do you folks use to strain it? The solids I find are pretty small. Most would, I think, go through the fine mesh strainer I have. I doubt I have the patience for a coffee filter. I don't, generally, keep cheesecloth on hand, but...

Cook the Book: 'Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book'

Many years ago my wife convinced me to take her on a camping vacation to The Land Between the Lakes, so we could visit the American Quilter's Society Quilt Show and Contest in Paducah, KY. Our downstairs neighbor, on hearing we were going to Paducah gave us a fist full of money to bring him a BBQ pork shoulder from a long forgotten smoke shack in town. We couldn't resist sampling the package on the way back. It was my first 'real BBQ' experience and still my favorite!

I love the fresh and fresh tasting cranberry and orange relish. Yum.

Green bean casserole, it's not really special but we only have it twice a year. I guess that's what makes it special.

My favorite Thanksgiving side is stuffing with gravy.

From Serious Eats

Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'

Fried Turkey, stuffing and gingersnap gravy in one bite. By far my favorite holiday as it is truly THE holiday for food lovers! I can't wait!!

Oyster stuffing. Tough part, finding enough people who aren't oyster-phobic...

My moms - potatoes, summer savory and crushed crackers, also includes tons of butter and a few onions - I miss stuffing since it started killing people :(

I love homemade warm applesauce!! That and the apple pie are my favorite part of Thanksgiving. I don't like most of the other food including the turkeY!

Thanks for the giveaway!

Thanksgiving wouldn't feel right without a chunky, moist dressing (or stuffing, though I'm taking Alton's advice to heart and keeping it out of my turkey this year). But I've also a particular fondness for all the orange Thanksgiving sides -- caramelized yam, pumpkin purees, fleshy marrows. Those Squash Half Moons with Butter, Sesame, and Salt sound like heaven.

My mother's cornbread dressing, with a little giblet gravy, and a dollop of cranberry sauce.

I love stuffing/dressing of any kind, but it's tough to choose between that and a good green bean casserole. More, please!

Mmmmm...stuffing...I would have to agree with that!
