Best food for a stomach ache?

what i like to call soup with dots...
chicken broth with little pastina pasta and whisk an egg or two with some parmesan cheese... and actually sometimes a little red pepper flakes helps me believe it or not... particularly when its self induced...

Popcorn: Do You Err on the Side of Unpopped or Burnt?

my grandfather ALWAYS burnt the popcorn and i stayed with him most days in the summer when i was little. we'd eat it and watch Tom and Jerry... so now the smell of burnt popcorn is a happy memory :) im also partial to the half popped kernels... so i guess im on both sides?

How do YOU make a tomato sandwich?

i love the taste of tomotoes.. cant handle the squish, so i squeeze "the guts" out first

then there are two ways:
a. loads of mayo (i noticed the trend) on toast with thin as i can get slices of tomatoes, salt and peppered...
b. caprese style with a thick hunka mozz. cheese, fresh basil, olive oil and of course the tomato

its summer between two slices of bread...

Favorite Ramen Toppings?

i LOVE ramen.. i guess after consuming so much of it in college it just is one of those things that makes me happy... i also liek to put a slice of cheese in it and make it creamy... or for a "healthy version" some green peppers or green onions...

my fiance and i just got a house together and just said yesterday that we were going to have to live on ramen for the next two years :) great ideas if so!

memorial day menu plans?

big ol' steaks on the grills, some garlic burgers, a sweet potato salad, corn on the cob with dill butter, and the usual "snacks" .. and beer... lots and lots of beer. OH and a big batch of "skip and go nakeds"-beer, vodka, and frozen lemonade in large quantities.. real classy...;)

Favorite Camping Food / Recipes ?

my favorite things to make are mountain pies... ... we make pizza, taco, apple, and cherry pies.. nothing fancy but really, its camping...

not really much of a recipe, just throw two slices of white bread with whatever filling you want inside the pie iron... my fav. is the "pizza"
just let it cool before you try and put the molten cheese in your mouth ;)

do you remember elementary school cafeteria food?

alclyp- i think your mac and cheese with tomatoes is the same as our "mac. milanese" and i also still love it and find it very comforting :) must be a PA thing...

From Talk

do you remember elementary school cafeteria food?

i am a teacher also so i cant escape the cafeteria food.... i also teach in the elementary school that i attended soooo its like relieving childhood everyday

marchpane- we had the plastic pouches when i was in elem. school also! but they didnt last long after many stabs and leaks...

mondays are always chicken-nuggets, patties, who knows what...
thursdays are always a pasta- spaghetti or our school districts infamous "macaroni milanese" which is pretty much like goulosh
friday is still pizza day and is actually kind of tasty! they also occasionally have "italian dunkers" which are buns with cheese baked on top to be dipped in sauce... great way to use wednesdays left over hoagie buns...

i've noticed though that they make such a stink about school lunches being healthy and we are no longer allowed cupcakes for the kids birthdays or tiny little Smarties for a reward but they still serve nachos made of questionable cheese and meat, and hot dogs weekly?

The roast beef at Manny's Deli in Chicago. I get it extra rare on an onion roll that is SOAKED in roast beef juice. The potato pancake and pickle on the side aren't too shabby either.

The sandwich you make on Thanksgiving after all your guests have left is my all time fav and probably even more so because it's a special once a year thing. You know, it's that sloppy dagwood of a thing piled preciptously with turkey (reheated in a frying pan with a little oil so it's a little bit golden) mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce held together by an entirely too small parkerhouse roll.

By the way, when you get the Junglee sandwich at Dimple's Bombay off the NJ Turnpike, keep in mind that it is HUGE! We ordered one each, and all 4 of us had to bring the second halves with us the rest of the way home. It was pretty good cold when we arrived--but even better hot in the restaurant. It takes a few minutes waiting for the order, but the Junglee is a wonderful, delicious reason to make a stop while driving.

I can never resist a good burger - like the one at 25 degrees in Hollywood, which was reviewed quite nicely by Damon Gambuto on this very site.

But, my all-time favorite sandwich is my own customization of the Reuben featuring both pastrami and corned beef, like the one at Junior's Delicatessen in West Los Angeles, which I recently posted on my blog.

It's hard to beat the offerings at Sandwhich in Chapel Hill, NC. They make the best tuna salad I've ever tried, a bacon-apple-mushroom grilled cheese, and an incredible "Paratha" with chickpeas, fennel, eggplant, and a handful of Indian spices. I just moved from Chapel Hill and I'm having serious withdrawals!

Bay Cities in Santa Monica is incredible, the best place to grab any kind of sandwich and they're doing these little ones now, like fat cigars, stuffed with cheese and peppers and salami and fresh basil on an oiled roll. Way too addictive.

When I'm at home I use rare roast beef from Ralph's (the Boar's Head is too low sodium for me, apparently I like the additives in the cheaper stuff because the fancier all-natural meat tastes bland) on a toasted poppy seed bun with a slice of sharp cheddar, one leaf of butter lettuce, a mix of mayo and ketchup, mashed fresh avocado then sprinkled with salt and black pepper. I've been making my sandwiches exactly the same way since I was in 3rd grade.

Just about any "cawnah" mom-n-pop sub shop in Massachusetts can made an Italian sub that makes me tear up just to think of it...a combo of various Italian meats & cheese (hot cappy, mortadella, salami, provolone) on a long sub roll, seeded or not, with diced pickles, onions, tomatoes, and "extra hots" -- finished off with olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano. Oh, the glory of it.

Holy crud, that Dimple's place is like 15 mins. from my house. I need to spend more time on Oak Tree Road.

My fav was always Pastrami on rye with cole slaw on it. Now that I'm a veghead, I'll go with egg and cheese on a hard roll with spk.

My take on Banh Mi:

Italian bun, toasted whole so the outside is crisp but the inside is still fluffy. Make a quick pickle out of bean sprouts, matchstick carrots, cider vinegar, sriracha, salt, and sugar. Get either a 1 lb beef loin or a 1 lb roast that is uniformly thick and trim off some of the fat. Let the loin marinate on the counter in liquid smoke for an hour (I stole this idea from a recent Serious Eats post). Sear the loin on all sides and put it in the oven for about an hour or until it is barely medium rare. Slice the beef thinly and add it to the bun. Cover one side of the bun in mayo and the other in either braunschweiger or pork pate'. Top with the quick pickle and cilantro and prepare to go to a happy happy sandwich place :)

@ChefR0bert - mmm.. nice integration of the brandy. I dig that one.

French Pizza

Set your oven to 400 F. Slice a rustic ciabatta loaf and into eight, 1-inch pieces. Lightly brush 100% Italian olive, extra virgin olive oil on both sides of the bread and lay on a sheet tray. Toast the bread in the oven for 15 minutes, turning halfway for even color and crispness.

Remove from the oven and immediately rub a sliced garlic clove or two on one side of the toast. Too much rubbing and it will be very garlicky, so be careful. At this point, drizzle about a teaspoon of dry white wine or clear brandy on one side of the toast. This will create a moist center while still maintaining a crisp crust. Lay a few slices of tomato on the toast and then top with some prosciutto. Season with a few grinds of fresh black pepper and top with Gruyere cheese. Cook these open-faced sandwiches in the broiler until the cheese melts and bubbles. If you want to get inventive, spread some roasted red pepper aioli on the toast before you build the sandwich.

Tiger's Deli in East Windsor NJ makes a great Italian sub.
Anything from Hoagie Haven in Princeton NJ
Porkroll, Egg and Cheese from any reputable NJ Italian pizza/sub shop
Sadly I now live in New Hampshire and people up here put diced dill pickles on Italian subs - the horror! However, Denelly's in Nashua NH makes a good Italian sub as long as you tell them to hold off on the pickles.
