Dinner Tonight: Turkey Fricassée with Mushrooms
I bet the shiitake farm was a cool experience;
I had no idea that fricassée essentially means poultry in a stewed preparation with creamy sauce....cool!
Growing up my fathers' chicken fricassée was done with capers, mushrooms and a dark-thick asparagus sauce....served over rice.
mmmm.... miss papas cookn'

I heart scallop potatoes; you could try "gourmet"-ing it up with some gourmet cheese like a gruere(sp?), asiago or something and do buttermilk instead of milk?

Hmmm good recipe.
I've never included dill and/or fennel in my greek salad...worth considering!
I also agree to insist on "greek" oregano: it wouldn't be the same without it
Is dating a picky eater a dealbreaker for anyone?!
Good point @kerosena : worth repeating
"If you feel that your BF is shut off to trying new things in life, that's not going to change.
The food issue may just be a symptom of inflexibility. Only you can answer that one!"
Cannibalism
Don't think I would.
I've read reports of missionaries/explorers in various places stating that the locals where they were posted/had travelled claimed to have eaten human flesh, and that it was delicious, but. . . you know, it was so common for many cultures (particulary Western ones) to consider others (particularly non-Western ones) to be completely lacking in either sense of humour or humanity, that the locals who allegedly reported this may have been pulling the missionaries'/explorers' legs, without the latter being aware of this.
My point is that there is no evidence we taste good (although most tastes are acquired), and there would be no way of knowing (without having actually having eaten human) that a synthetic product actually had the flavour and consistency of human (and I cannot imagine eating another human being, but then again, I've never been in the sort of situation where I'd need to make this decision). It also seems like the sort of thing Marilyn Manson would go for in a flash (especially if it were called, say, 'Pam', instead of 'SPAM') and make a big production of, which would make the entire act of eating human-like meat kind of embarrassing ;)
Cannibalism
I wish one of you folks who is interested in trying human would contact me. Flightlinek (at) hotmail.com. Maybe we can work out some kind of arrangement.

My favorite Thanksgiving side is cornbread-sausage stuffing. So rich, so good!

Stuffing! We love stuffing!
Is dating a picky eater a dealbreaker for anyone?!
I canNOT stand a picky eater. His attitude will have a negative effect on your love of food and cooking, and might (ohGod) produce picky offspring as well. Life is to be enjoyed in full - to me, especially if you love cooking and eating and have an adventurous outlook on it. Damn right you need someone to fight with over the last piece of cheesecake. Keep looking - somewhere out there is your soulmate who will give you joy in your life.

I love the fresh and fresh tasting cranberry and orange relish. Yum.

Green bean casserole, it's not really special but we only have it twice a year. I guess that's what makes it special.

My favorite Thanksgiving side is stuffing with gravy.

Sausage and cornbread stuffing. Yum!
Is dating a picky eater a dealbreaker for anyone?!
it sounds as if the problem is as much how his pickiness presents itself Vs the actual fact of the pickiness.
you need to negotiate how he goes about tasting and reacting. instead of filling his plate hiding the uneaten, he should take a bite only, then only take more of what he will actually eat. He also must accept that if he rejects what's for dinner, he makes his own substitute.
You, OTOH, have to deal with adjusting your daily cooking to reflect some of his opinions. Cooking can be fun, but the day in day out feeding of your partner & family isn't so much about the fun for you as about the fact that people need to eat. Plus, if he rejects your food in favor or cornflakes or PBJ for days on end, you can't be hurt.
if you someday are having kids, he needs to have learned to reject in a low-key fashion so as not to 'teach' his pickiness to them. I won't go so far as to expect him to sometimes noticeable eat something he is known to dislike, to model polite behaviour. But it would be handy.
PS I was in a relationship in which we had very different food cultures. our inability to appreciate each others standards was but one of many problems. But 3 times a day one or both of of us being annoyed or mad or disappointed sure didn't help. If you cant fine some way to enjoy meals together, some compromises, then hang it up now.
Gadgets: Trudeau Silicone Vegetable Steamer
I'm not keen on silicone - and I do have a metal steamer along with a set of bamboosteamers (the best!).
I remove the metal steamer with a chopstick stuck through the handle - works like a dream even for me and I am a klutz!

Coolio rules! I'd watch that again.

I love homemade warm applesauce!! That and the apple pie are my favorite part of Thanksgiving. I don't like most of the other food including the turkeY!
