@KevinB In the note above the recipe: "I have included the recipe for one generous pie crust and a full pie's worth of each filling."

I will forever love stuffing.

cumin lamb, stir fried with leeks

smitten kitchen :)

These ice cream sandwiches look great! I know the wrapper is edible, but do people actually eat with their ice cream sandwich? What is the taste and texture like?

I agree with sousvide. It's convenient for leftovers when I'm not patient enough to wait for the oven to heat, and you can buy them for far less than $130 (craigslist, garage sales, flea markets...).

pumpkin cheesecake bars

The first cookbook I bought was Washoku. Oddly enough, I just opened it up yesterday for the first time in months.

haha, I guess I'm in the minority, but this looks delicious to me. red beans + custard = happiness in my belly.

mango shaved ice or apple pie w/ ice cream

Wow, I need to eat out more, because I haven't been to any of those places, but out of the list, I have heard good things about Boulangerie, Zarzuela, and Anamandara :)

You can also take a look at this list for ideas:

Some places on the list I like are:

-Turtle Tower for pho ga...try #10 if you like offal :D
-La Taqueria for burritos/quesadillas/tacos...but I'm sure others can chime in with another taqueria (everyone has their own favorite)
-Tartine Bakery for breakfast/brunch. I'm partial to their almond croissants, bread pudding, and cafe au lait, but just know that lines can get long.
-Burma Superstar for Burmese food. The wait for this place can be heinous, but you can put your name & cell phone # down and then walk to Green Apple Bookstore to pass the time
-Blue Bottle Coffee is pretty good if you like coffee. I'm a lightweight, so I like the New Orleans Iced Coffee.
-Hog Island Oyster Co...the recommended clam chowder is pretty good
-Zuni Cafe for their roast chicken & bread salad. It's priced for 2 people and it takes 50min-1hour to cook, so I wouldn't go it alone unless you REALLY want to try it.
-never been but want to try: SPQR/A16, Rosamunde Sausage Grill (I hear you can grab a beer next door), Delfina/Pizzeria Delfina (check out Slice for their review), Aziza, San Tung, Sebo...

Ok, this post is getting way longer than I intended. I'll leave the rest to other SF Serious Eaters :) I hope you have a good trip and happy eating!

How about fried bananas with ice cream?
