this is the best stuff ever. My husband and I were in hawaii and couldn't get enough of it.

i would prepare a nouveau vietnamese dish. Starting off with foam of green papaya, topping that with foam of fish sauce and foam of basil.

Someone I Don't Want To Have Dinner With

I'd do it, drink like a fish and leave tom with an empty bank account.

Ina Garten, because I'd like to cook in her fabulous kitchen and see her ridiculously beautiful Hamptons home and garden.

Paper or Canvas? (Adios, Plastic)

$30! We are not made out of money and with the rising price of food costs? Absolutely ridiculous!

SE users: please introduce yourselves.

Hi, foodiegirl here. Not a very creative handle, as I'm not a writer like many of you. I'm 33, grew up in Chinatown, Los Angeles. I have a cousin who graduated from the CIA in New Hyde Park who's been my inspiration for going from one who thinks instant udon is gourmet, to now making stock from scratch. I love food, all aspects of it, love to try new things at least once, and that includes adrenaline related things like jumping out of a plane to bizzarre food type things, like gnawing on chicken feet at dim sum, and eating chicken sashimi in japan, that was scary given my western upbringing of raw chicken=salmonella. I love SE and getting to skim the surface of the members, from Canada, Denmark, all over, it's awesome.

Snapshots from Hawaii: Garlic Shrimp

i had some on kauai during my honeymoon last year. had never heard or scene these trucks before so i was kinda sketch about it. turned out to be very good, ours was served on a bed of shredded cabbage, filler no doubt but the cabbage was softened by the heat of the shrimp and the hot sauce and garlic, scrumptious but not cheap, i think it was $15.

Ancho Pork Tenderloin Enchiladas with a Red Chile Sauce - different and incredible! It would make Bobby Flay jealous

I would make my favorite comfort food - baked mac & cheese. There's chicken, walnuts, mushrooms, and a roux of gorgonzola, white cheddar, and bleu cheese. Topped with scallions, this is divine.

For a dessert, I would make rice pudding with lemon zest. It would be a carby, heavy entry, but everyone would be bursting with happiness and cheese.
