Cook the Book: 'Dishing Up Vermont'
CT: Shady Glen burger! Gotta love that fried cheese.
In Memory of The Silver Palate's Sheila Lukins
So sad. As much as a big deal is made out of Julia Child (and rightly so), I remember cooking with my mom out of the Silver Palate cookbooks the most. I think they've had more influence on my interest in cooking than anything else. The SP gazpacho recipe is just amazing.
Cook the Book: 'Bite-Size Desserts'
Toss up between a rich, fudgy brownie bite, a homemade yellow cake cupcake with a ganache frosting or beignets.

Cook the Book: 'The Craft of Baking'
I had the most amazing chocolate dessert at Pigalle in Boston once. It was a special for the evening and so I can't describe it fully, but it was my first time having the chile and chocolate combination and I loved it!

Freezing Eggs
I've also accidentally frozen eggs before and had the same experience as MollieBeth. I just peeled off the shell and used them for scrambled eggs and I think, even in a baked good and it all turned out fine.
Cook the Book: 'Osteria'
Um, seriously, that dish on the cover of the book looks delicious. But I am a pasta with red sauce girl through and through. A nice homemade bolognese, maybe.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Italian Snacks'
Rolled bread with pepperoni and cheese, mmmmmmm.
Cook the Book: 'Baked, New Frontiers in Baking'
Chocolate, especially dark brown M&M's and my mom's homemade cherry nut cake. I still love both!

I've said once and I'll say it again: pumpkin creme brulee!
Win a Free Organic D'Artagnan Turkey Here!
Oh man, pumpkin creme brulee, please!
Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'
I'm with all the other people on onions and garlic, shallots as well. Oh, and in keeping with the book excerpt, kosher salt. And sour cream goes moldy before I can use it all. There's irony in that, I'm sure.
Ted Allen 'Food Detectives' Show Renewed for Second Season
Yeah, he spends most of the show yelling. Microscopes, glasses and thick books do not a science show make.
I do like Ted Allen on Top Chef and Iron Chef.
Cook the Book: 'Fat'
I'm with the bacon people. Someday I will make my own confit or pork belly. Someday soon.

Maybe this shrimp and fennel pasta I make a lot in the summer? I also can make some amazing cupcakes.
Cook the Book: The Sweet Melissa Baking Book
warm chocolate cake.
Cook the Book: Nigella Express
It wasn't specified that it had to be food-related, so here's one:
Y'know how you always get those adhesive address labels in your junk mail? Take a sheet, fold it up and put it in your wallet. Whenever you are out at the store and have to fill out a form with your name and address, just pull one out and stick it on there. Saves a lot of time for you and for everyone in line behind you.
Serious Easter Artisanal Chocolate Egg Giveaway
Cadbury mini eggs, hands down! or a Munson's chocolate bunny.
Cook the Book: 'Arthur Schwartz's Jewish Home Cooking'
latkes or lox... maybe latkes and lox?

Just found it today. I have one of his cookbooks and I just love it.
Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'
The second time I ever roasted a chicken on my own, I roasted it upside down and then when I cut into the "breast" and it was full of bones and dark meat, I freaked out and called my mom. Sigh. I figured out my error in short order and still enjoyed the chicken - upside down or right side up, you can't go wrong.

Pasta, sleep, and a good friend to help me laugh it off.
