Hey everybody I'm having an absinthe party and wondering what the heck to pair it with foodwise (mostly appetizers- not necessarily a meal) I'm trying to stick with kind of a turn of the century Parisian artworld theme. Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!
I'm assigned to whip up an asparagus dish at my future mother in laws, for Easter. Trouble is that I don't care for asparagus- so I'm not really sure how to make it tasty for those who do enjoy it. Any suggestions from you asparagus lovers out there? (FYI I'm to prepare it at her house- so simple recipes would be great! Also, ham is the main dish) Thanks for your help!
I saw this article on Yahoo today & thought it might be of interest to Serious Eats readers. it's good to know someone is planning for our food future.

I'm going on a 2 day road trip- I want to avoid stopping for (eeek!) gas station snacks. I'd prefer to make them at home rather than ingest a quanity of chili cheese fritos & gummyworms...even though (shhh!) I love them both) Do you have any take along road snacks... ideas or recipes to share? We will be bringing a (small) cooler along as well. Thanks for your ideas!!
I went to a book club recently & the theme was pie- we were to bring homemade pie.(hopefully being inspired to make our own pie from the recipes in the book) Everyone brought frozen boxed pie (!!??!!) but me.
I have noticed so many people in my generation just don't cook. (I'm 33- and my friends range from about 22-36) Any ideas suggestions on how to inspire, enlighten& ignite the passion for cooking to my friends without being preachy!
..I worry about the kind of grandmothers we will be someday- will we pass down our cherished microwave recipes? our menu's for great takeout? Thanks in advance for your help!
My friend is heading to Paris! Any suggestions on food to pick up that can be brought back here? What about any customs/TSA regulations regarding foodstuffs? Any favorite cafes/must eat places you recommend?Thanks!
reading in our bathroom at home- okay.
reading in a public bathroom- kind of skeezy.
.....just my opinion.
Bisbee and her SO are doing their part !!!
If you don't have eggs you can also just mix the condensed milk & lime juice & put it into a graham cracker crust- just firm it up a bit in the fridge. My friend (Sailor Ed) calls it "boaters key lime pie" cause there is no baking involved (the no-bake option is nice for the HOT Florida weather too!) I use this recipe with the Nellie & Joes Key Lime Juice. YUM!
p.s. Lime Jello KeyLime Pie is wrong & evil and should be saved for your enemies.
I grew up in Small town Illinois, I've lived in, Tucson, and Clearwater, Florida and Philly, I now live in Denver. Let's just say I have a wandering palate.. There are some days when I'd knock the teeth out of an old lady for a decent cheesesteak. I haven't found a biscuit to love here- blame the altitude.There are some days I NEED (not want) conch fritters and a cuban, and most of the time I'm left wanting for a good mojito, sweet tea, and blackened grouper. (good) Seafood is pretty tough for me to find unless I wanna shell out big bucks. So here I am in Colorado-as far as you can spit from the ocean...oh well.... I'd probably miss the green chili if I left. But not much else food wise. sigh....
@Perky!!!! my mom used to call them "horse-ovaries" somehow this made them unappealing to me. Yeah bring that "box of jello" on over.... but only if it's in the form of Jello shots...LOL TGIF!
don't forget to pack the wine opener! :) ....this happens to me all the time
Pat's but I have to agree with alBee- anywhere in Philly you can find decent cheeseteak...sadly not the case in Denver
Bisbee's here for rollcall! I was raised in small-town Illinois, I escaped to other ports of call after college..Tucson, Clearwater, Philadelphia, Denver (where I live now) I live with my BF and 2 finches. We eat out more than we cook in- oh how I want to change this! Thanks for all the tasty recipes and helpful suggestions! Random fact about me: I would love to have a few chicken when I get a house- so i can have fresh eggs.
I had lunch there today. The prepared food section is quite popular, and the food looks tasty. ur Whole foods also has a smoke shop, sushi, gelatto, pizza (YUM!) as wellas a area where they prepare fish. I usually have a pizza slice as I only take a 1/2 hr lunch.
melon wrapped in prosciuttto -- perfect combination of sweet, salty & fat to go with the bubbles.
Cheese or chocolate-or popcorn! Thank you for this giveaway!
Seriously, does anything NOT go with champaign? I especially like brunch foods like quiches.
