Mom vs. MIL: Whose Cuisine Reigns Supreme?

I feel the collective pain here! Future MIL raised her sons on junk food- bags of powdered donuts for breakfast, box mac n cheese, pizza, and a steady diet of meat and potatoes! It has been a challenge breaking my man into eating veggies but we are getting there!

The last time we visited the PMIL, I roasted a beautiful chicken and made a fresh pesto to drizzle on top, potatoes au gratin, a delicious ceasar salad- thinking to myself- there is no way they won't like this! Sadly, she was so put off by the concept of pesto that when I asked her to try it she turned white and pulled out a jar of gravy and said- I'll use this. And then she whipped out a whole other salad and sides, (complete with I can't believe it's not butter and a big loaf of white bread) she had made to "add" to the things I had made! Obviously, she thought I was trying to poison them with my crazy/fancy unprocessed food.

My mom wins on principle, but my grandmother was the star of the kitchen.

Perfect Prime Rib

Everything worked perfectly on my 5.5 pound roast! I used the oven thermometer and cooked it at 170 for 5 hours...everyone raved! Best Christmas ever- thank you thank you thank you!

Video: A Tribute to Superman Ice Cream

I've lived in South Florida for most of my life and the Superman flavor was a fixture of my childhood as well...often with the (disgusting! but awesome as a kid) addition of mushed up gumballs!

Serious Sandwiches: Pressed Duck Sandwich at Deli Lane Cafe, Miami

Yay! I love Deli Lane! When I was at school at UMiami (which is right up the street), I used to live a couple of blocks from D-Lane. I still miss this sandwich and their amazing breakfasts on Sunday morning.

Also, in case you are in the mood after your duck- you can always stop by BT's Gentlemen's Club, which is literally in the parking lot of Deli Lane. Haha. The strip club doesn't detract from the Turkey Bacon Club, though!!

The Long Search for Pizza in South Florida

Have you ever tried Pizza Kitchen around 124th and US1 in Miami? It's right by a baseball park and in the same strip mall as some Thai restaurant/video game store/office building!

Fantastic pizza and really great garlic bread. It is a pick up take out spot with maybe two plastic tables if you can't wait to eat a slice...which I never could when I lived there!
