Does Where You Live Affect What You Like To Eat?
omg! Autocrat coffee syrup and milk! I think you have to grow up with it to appreciate it ;) they even sell it mail order by boxes of 6 I still have 5 bottles unopened that I bought 3 yrs ago :S guess you really can't go back ;)
need healthy high calorie recipes
all these idea's sound really good, unfortunately, oils and nuts are just to hard to digest, i had my stomach and part of my intestines removed due to cancer, so I'm sorry to dump on these great ideas. However I will be passing them on to others I know that need and can use them ;)
Tuna. In a Can. Love it or Hate it?
is there really a difference between water packed and oil packed? I grew up eating the water packed and thats what I always buy when I try to like tuna again. Maybe I'll have to give it a try yet again.

Mothers' Day eats
Anna make that 19 ppl, I'll be there with bells on! I think sunday I'll do some chicken stock and maybe a small pot of chicken stew. If I feel really ambitious I may make either some biscuits or maybe even some "real" bread. My moms been gone more than 20 yrs and MIL is too so not a big holiday for me.

Grill Pan!
I've got a lodge cast iron grill pan and it lives on my stove. Wonderful for doing veggies! there is nothing like purged and grilled eggplant steaks! If you get one, make sure its big enough for your needs, and I guarantee you wont regret it!

Say What I feel your pain! but make my chowder Rhode Island style(clear) ;)
Food Priorities--how do you prioritize these factors?
I think for me taste has to be the first factor followed closely by nutrition and price. to be honest lifestyle and culture have very little to do with my food choices. Ethically speaking, I will choose humanely raised over not and local organic first and foremost, but that isnt to say my entire decision is based on those things. I think what makes this such a difficult question to answer is that even though this is a balancing act, it is becoming a balancing act of a different kind because of the rising cost of food as well as more awareness of our environment.
Mission - Mac 'n Cheese
ok its official I'm jealous! maybe its time to try the soy cheese again :(
Photo of the Day: Canine Prewash Cycle
I love it! and just think you're doing the environmentaly responsible thing too, cutting down on how long a cycle you have to run to get the dishes clean;) Thank you for making the day brighter!
Mission - Mac 'n Cheese
You are a brave soul! I'm lactose intolerant and even though I could live on mac and cheese, homemade only thank you, I wont touch the stuff. Please let us know how it turns out, and have a serving for me!
Tuna. In a Can. Love it or Hate it?
every year or so I tell myself to give it a try again. so with good intentions of eating healthier dancing through my head I buy a can of solid white albacore. Every year I mix up a wonderful tuna salad that everyone I make it for loves, and every year I eat about 2 bites before I swear I will never do this again! So in answer, NO CANNED TUNA!!! thank you
Favorite Food Network Show and Chef
Alton Brown!!!! I almost never miss his shows.
I miss seeing more of Mario Batalli.
and Tyler is cute but too young.
OOPS were we talking about cooking skill? oh well I'll still stick with my list;)
Do you love ripe melons? Which are your favorites?
@ Wookie bring it on sweetie i think Perky needs a party!
food for a looooooong bus trip
oops, forgot to add, try not to take anything particularly smelly, you have the right to eat anything you like, but remember you're on the bus with lots of people and what smells delicious to you could really be nasty to someone else, or even to you if the smell lingers and mixes with the lovely aroma found in most busses.
food for a looooooong bus trip
thai noodle salad, lots of cold packs and water, and some serious trail mix. if you have a portable dvd player definately take that with the headphones, music(lots) and a couple of good books!
sadly parting company
Beth you will love cooking with gas! I grew up cooking that way and miss it horribly! there is something about seeing real flame under your pan that just gives me a thrill. ok we know i'm weird.
Kitchen timers
sorry my timer is my microwave. thats about all its used for so I feel it needs to do something to justify the space it takes up ;)
Recipes for ham
my vote has to be for ham and beans! I always fix a huge ham at Christmas and sucker zip freeze individual portions. I just used my last pkg today in a big pot of beans.
Kraft Simplifies Snack Food. No, really, I mean it.
I love the idea of using cool whip for finger paints! I'm going to suggest that to a friend with small kids. @juliec yes many moons ago cw did come in a bellows like tube with a star tip, that was so we could "decorate" a cake or pie with it, my mom actually bought it once, unfortunatley it still tasted like cool whip:( my ex used to love cool whip, he'd freeze it and eat it like ice cream. Now you know one of the myriad reasons he's an ex ;)
Does Where You Live Affect What You Like To Eat?
grew up with the wonderful fresh seafood of new england, now living in hee haw hell. I still dont like deep fried cholesterol.
Cookbook Content Question
I almost never buy cookbooks, I know thats awful to admit but I would much rather spend money on other types of books. That said I do have a few, and I do mean few. As a matter of fact it took me untill last week to break down and buy Batali's cookbook Molto Italiano, even though I adore the way the man cooks. I have to agree with Jerzee, I just think most of the stuff being published out there is trendy and in 3-5 yrs I'll wonder why I ever spent the money.
Food for a stressed student stomach?
Try to stay away from the caffeine right now, the extra boost just isnt worth the crash you'll get. I dont know if you would be interested but GNC sells a product called whey protein powder, if you mix a scoop of that with some milk and fruit in the blender, well it's not a milkshake but it does give you all the nutrients you could need. Try munching on some saltines, and ginger tea is my go to. I wish all the students here luck, You will all do wonderfully I'm sure! I have you all in my thoughts for an easy bout with the test monsters.
mother's day: mac and cheese and... ??!?
instead of putting something on the side how about adding some crisped pancetta to the mac and cheese and a big fresh salad along the side?
Grape Jelly OR Orange Marmalade OR Strawberry Jam?
you are a viscious woman Perky Mac!!! If i can only have one, I refuse to live in your world! ;) and btw send any leftover jams jellies etc my way! lol
Do you love ripe melons? Which are your favorites?
as long as the melon is ripe, I'm there!!! can't wait for the season to start! Hey Perky I'll bring the watermelon you get out the tequilla and we'll have a Good time;)
Beef Jerky? white trash or actually good?
I have found the best place for beef jerky is here http://nationwidecandy.com/candy/items.asp?Cc=MEAT&Tp=&iTpStatus=1 They have most all the major types. I have now bought from them three times and am very satisfied. Does anyone else has have a favorite?
Throwdown: Chick-fil-A vs. McDonald's Southern Style Chicken
it would have to be hands down to chick fil a. take into consideration the quality of their food as well as price point, flavor and texture. i've had both. i was Extremely disappointed with mcdonalds (as always really). i'm not one for take out and fast food however knowing that chick fil a hand batters each breast, fresh (Actually Fresh!) is a winner. i worked at a mcdonalds - it makes no sense how they are comparable - to me its a sad sad copy cat. oh, PS...mcdonald's "southern style" chicken on a biscuit is also a joke.
The Serious Eats Fried Clam Honor Roll
Mary's is a restaurant which serves Peekytoe Crab Beignets with Key Lime Aioli. I don't think I will be going there, sorry.
As a New Englander living in New York City, I would say (with respect) you've left off the most important fried clam place in the city: the Oyster Bar at Grand Central. They're not great, although I found their fried oysters a bit better, and the fried scallops very good even. I suppose, when in Rome eat what Romans eat, and NYC is about oysters, not steamer clams, alas.
Throwdown: Chick-fil-A vs. McDonald's Southern Style Chicken
I really hate pickles on a chicken sandwich period, no matter who makes it! I always pick them off!
Throwdown: Chick-fil-A vs. McDonald's Southern Style Chicken
Chick-Fil-A definitely has the better sandwich but McDonald's is not a bad second if you can't get to CFA! McDonald's is open later and on Sundays!
Best Hangover Food?
for some reason, i actually embrace my hangovers; it means that there's a ton to discuss with my girlfriends the next morning! we'll typically cruise over to a local burger joint and get their saturday special (huge greasy cheeseburger, thick-cut fries, and a large soda... i always opt for water instead of the soda). if they're not around, i'll brew some coffee, and then pick up a huge plate of pad thai, which is so big that i'll snack on it throughout the day.
cheers!!
Who's your most/least favorite food personality on Food Channel?
I used to watch a lot of FN back in the early days. I enjoyed Jack McDavid, Mario Batali, Sara Moulton. Now, I never watch FN. The turning point, for me, was when Rachel Ray became a "star" (gag).
Now if I want to learn something about cooking, I tune in PBS, and watch Jacques Pepin, Lidia, or the two ladies on America's Test Kitchen.
Who's your most/least favorite food personality on Food Channel?
Least: Ina Garten; from her voice to her food, personality, friends, etc. . .she drives me insane.
Most: Giada Di Laurentiis, I have a girl crush on her.
Chefography This Week on Food Network
I caught the last 30 seconds of the one on Paula Deen and it was funny. A lady asked her son what her favorite dessert was and he said, "Butter.... fried butter with sour cream." It was funny and good to see that even he has a sense of humor about her ridiculous meals.
Best Hangover Food?
Last night I drank a bunch of beers and some shots. I was so drunk I was hitting on a lady who was twice my age, so thats about how drunk I was. Went home and fell asleep as soon as I hit the pillow, woke up fully clothed shoes and all --- I was HUNG OVER. But there's a Pho diner around the corner. I went over there and got some of that vietnamese noodle soup and ate that whole thing. Went straight home and fell right back asleep again until later on in the afternoon. When I woke up, the hangover was completely gone.
Who's your most/least favorite food personality on Food Channel?
I have to agree with many comments here.I have studied culinary arts for years and these housewife cook wannabees do not know the difference between a good Veloute and a bowl of gravy.
Where does the food netwok find these people?
Sandra Lee gets so excited over her booze,you would think she was an alcoholic! Rachael Ray acts like the host of Sesame Street with her ignorant, goofy, childish sayings. Paula Dean serves so much fat in her food, it is more rich than her fake,overpronounced accent which is comparable to fingernails on a chalkboard.Giada dresses like a street walker and tries to sound italian with her fancy pronouncing og food.What happened to credible culinarians? are all we are left with are women's day readers like these four women who think they are teaching cooking? please!!!
Top 10 Awesome Nostalgic Foods We Want Back
I miss the S'mores cookies and Fudgies, the little Kraft chewy candies in a gold wrapper. Does anyone remember the cereal, Double-Dip Crunch? I was like a "frosted" Crispix. Mmmmm!!! Oh, and the Quacker "strawberry" snack/dessert bars that looked like Nutri-Grain but had a little "squiggle" of white "icing" on top. I'm hungry now.
Who's your most/least favorite food personality on Food Channel?
My faves: Alton Brown, Anne Burrell, Ina Garten
Likes: Jaime O., Tyler F. Micheal Chirello (sp?)
My not so faves: Ray Ray, Sunny Anderson and the Neeleys...I started out liking Ray but her overexposure did me in...I haven't seen a thing on Sunny's show that I would make, and I can't stand her delivery, and the Neeleys...I like things they make but that lovey dovey crap really turns me off...and of course Sandra goes without saying...
Who's your most/least favorite food personality on Food Channel?
My favorite is Ina and my very least favorite is Giada. Can Giada's tops get any lower without this show being rated as porn? I have nothing at all against showing some cleavage, but please...this is a cooking show, and if her cooking isn't good enough to stand on its own, they should take her off the air. Actually, I tried several of her recipes and thought they we just "okay". Her books are loaded with photos of her rather than of the food, and she is way too full of herself. She should stop the annoying Italian accent when she pronounces Italian food items. She was born and raised in California for goodness sakes!
Best Hangover Food?
well, i'm hungover right now and all those foods make my stomach hurt to even THINK about eating. other than miso soup... i might go get some... DEFINITELY "try" to remember taking ibuprofen and a few tums with a big glass of water before bed. my advice, lay out the meds beside your bed before you go out..
Perfect PB&J? What's your preference?
Old skool, yo. I can't imagine why people would want to gourmetify something so classic and delicious as-is!
White or Sara Lee soft wheat bread
Creamy PB, any brand
Grape/Seedless raspberry JELLY (jam no... too thick.)
Cut diagonal with a tall cold glass of chocolate milk.
The Cheeseburger in a Can Reveals Itself
somebody go down to your local burger joint get a burger and send it to Germany I am shure by the time they get it it will still taste better than that!
What's your favorite midnight snack?
I go for the easy stuff. Leftovers, (Chinese is especially good!) whatever chips/cookies/crackers are around... Things that don't need prep. I'm too lazy to put ice cream in a bowl late at night!
The Frugal Gourmet
I taped Jeff's holiday episodes (Thanksgiving/Christmas) along with many others and to this day I enjoy his enthusiasm and zest for life. I watch them to this day because he makes me smile! As for alleged transgression, I understand they are just that: alleged. I didn't know the man personally and I would venture to say from reading above that all but one had never met the man. I have to agree with kratos that a person is innocent until proven guilty and sensationalized media coverage shouldn't count as a jury of your peers. I pray he was innocent and paid his out of court settlement so that he and his family could have some peace. We will never know. I miss him but I have his chuckle, his Handel Watermusic theme song and his sign off to remember him by: "I bid you peace...bye bye!"
What childhood foods have you outgrown?
These stories have been so heartfelt that they propelled me to make this a topic of discussion amongst my class.
The Cheeseburger in a Can Reveals Itself
You guys obviously have not tasted one of these before, I had one of these yesterday, and it was delicous.
I want another one of these right now, I'm so hungry.
The Frugal Gourmet
Well since this thread seems dead I need to state my view. Everybody who has declared this man guilty of the allegations are really clueless. I guess innocent until proven guilty is just a saying anymore. If you have without a doubt proof then post it. Everybody should realize that everybody who accused the man of such a crime might have a bigger motive ($$$). Since he settled out of court well I guess that makes him guilty, got into a fender bender with some guy and it was not my fault my insurance company settled out of court with the guy guess that makes me guilty. Jeff thanks for all of your culinary wisdom and may you be at the table of good food.
Vegetable broth
Look for a vegetable base paste.. they tend to have more flavor than the dry bouillon. These products are generally shelf stable and fairly cheap when compared to liquid broths or stocks.
Integrative Flavors has several options for your vegetarian friend.
