My office is having a cinco de mayo party this year. Actually we are having an uno dy mayo party. This year we would like to have Sangrita. It is probably easiest to make it fresh but can I buy it pre made or a mix?
I am in NYC. Do you know of anywhere I can pick up Sangrita? Thanks.
My aunt gave me all the left over cooked asparagus from passover dinner. I have a box of chicken stock in the cabinet so I am thinking of making a soup of sorts. I also have some cannelini beans I can throw in. Any suggestions?
does anyone have a good passover recipe? i am going to my aunts house as i do every year and would like to bring something. her food is ok but we have the same meal every year. i haven't found any good recipes. i'll take any course.
what are you making?
I'm going to visit my brother, sister n law and adorable 13 month nephew next weekend. Besides taking care of the little guy they both work, oh and he just started walking so he is an extra handfull now.
During my visit I would like to make some meals for them to freeze so they don't have to order in so much or stir up pasta late at night for themselves. What food/dishes freeze best? Thanks for your help.
What brand do you like? Which is your favorite product? I like the buffalo chix nuggets from whole foods a lot. Chop em up in a salad, it is delicious. I didn't like the morning star breakfast sausage patties. What do you recommend when buying a meat substitute?
I am looking for an alternative to butter. I don't use it often but when I do I would like to use one of the healthier versions that are all over the shelves these days. The one I am thinking about is SmartButter. Any thoughts on this product or any other suggestions? It is mostly for toast or pasta.
9 people. $150 a head total. nothing too adventurous but a place with good food & a good atmosphere. any help is appreciated. oh, i would pick a steakhouse bc that is always easy but we have one vegetarian. thanks
I need to find a spot for my group to have our holiday dinner. We like to eat and drink. There will be 8-10 of us. In the past we have gone to Tao, Dylan Prime & Tribeca Grill to name a few. We are willing to spend money, want to have a great meal ( 1 vegetarian) and be in a good atmosphere. Last year my list was a mile long to choose from but this year I can't think of any good spots.
I'm going to San Diego to visit friends for a few days. I visited last summer briefly. Any recommendations on where to eat? I had an amazing fish taco last time so I look fwd to another one. Any other suggestions on things to do or see would be great as well. 26/F/NYC
Need to find a spot on the East side of Manhattan for a group of 10 to have dinner Saturday night? Can be flexible on location. Recommendations?
i was just at an outdoor wedding. they had someone grilling up little kebabs with different stuff on them. you want foods that are easy to eat and not too messy.
i recently had it when i was in breckenridge, co. i am not one for shots or liquor but i really enjoyed it. i only had it as a shot, not as a drink. will try next time i have it though.
lisa is working at the mai house and spike is in the process of opening a burger joint. however i read that she applied for the job before the show started so it is a coincidence. too bad though bc no one wants to eat her food but i'm sure they would have eaten spikes.
if lisa wins i might have to boycot top chef. luckily i know she won't win so i don't even have to worry about not watching my favorite show ever again. my bets are on stephanie although i do love richard.
it was a great line. it came at the pt where you were just about to click to another channel bc the show was over-i'm so glad i didn't. for those of you that missed it, watch the show again. it was great.
40 mini cupcakes. make each one slightly different. you could write something out on them even. spell 40 out with them when he blows out the candles.
Sangrita is a tomato juice based drink that is often used as a cocktail mixer, drink or chaser alongside tequila. It is usually spicy like a bloody mary. It is good for sipping tequila or shots, which ever you fancy. I had it once it was delicous. Really helps the tequila go down.
I love a good sangria as well though.
at first i wanted to say no but people freeze baked ziti and lasagna all the time. maybe freeze any extra sauce seperate so when you heat it up it isn't as watered down. you can have fresh yummy sauce for the pasta.
this sounds good but what about ricotta cheese? that is the best part.
Hi Everyone, I'm 26, female, live in NYC and grew up on Long Island. I work in finance so I am stuck at a desk all day. The only thing that gets me through my boring work days is reading SE and other various food blogs. I don't know what it is but I love reading about food and restaurants. Everyone makes fun of me for it. I also love the food network, even when I hate it. I like to cook but I'm not very adventurous. I also love to eat out but don't get out as much as I wouldlike. If didn't have SE & other food sites I don't think I would survive. I can't wait until I grow up and can host parties at my house.
LIARS MUST BE STOPPED!
This guy figured, like all liars, that they are far more clever than anyone else and therefore could just slide his crap by unnoticed. HA! Hurray for those who blew the whistle on this fraud.
Now as for him and his little show, I thought it should have been called Dinner Impossible to Watch. Hmmm much like a lot of FoodNetwork drivel. I just can't bring myself to watch that poor dumb ass Paula Deen (but I was horrified when dreaded Bobby Flay doused her with corn starch on his little Throw Up show).
On the other hand, someone's comment about Sandra Lee's "getting hammered in her million dollar kitchen while hubby's at work" sounds very intriguing!
After reading again many of your comments... and I don't want to be the bad guy here...
He LIED about his experience.. if I applied for an 8.00 dollar an hour job I would be fired for the same thing...
NO, I've never cared for him,, YES I feel vindicated in my feelings..
However,, he's a liar.. plain and simple. would you want that person working for you???
He's dishonest and a fraud..
Don't pity the fool!
I don't often take pleasure in anyones misfortune...
Unless they did it to themsleves...
I never liked this guy.. way too cockey...
The show stinks and apparently he does too...
Now on to Rachael Ray..... the most annoying person on TV...
OMG....EVOO!!!! everyone!
Congrats MRS. Maureen and thanks so much for the update. We were all thinking of you on your special day.
I have leftover ham right now, too. I've been making sandwiches, steaming with cabbage, frying for breakfast, chopped some and added to baked beans. I'm about to make a grilled ham, cheese & tomato panini for a late supper - just came in from mowing the lower 40. I should make some deviled ham - haven't had that in ages. It sure makes meal planning easy, since it works for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, eh?
Well the weather held true to forecast and it was very hot. I could see the sweat dripping off my face during the service! But we managed to keep the house cool and I took off the long lace overcoat that went on my dress and things were better. I was comfy enough that I wore the dress to our local Shakespeare festival in the evening and was fine.
A super day - oodles of food left over so I don't have to worry about cooking for days! Now I need creative things to do with cheese and salami and ham and the like!
@Maureen - How exciting! All the best to you. We will work hard to keep you occupied until your man returns! Often brides change into other clothing for the different events of their nuptials. Go for it and put on your breeziest sundress. ;-) Have fun!!
Thank you so much! Yes we have five children between us who are all standing for us. Our happiness is tempered by the fact that he is moving to Western Canada three days later for work. But I think that will be fun too. And hey more time to chat with my friends on SE!
@Maureen - best-est wishes!!! I agree with Perky - see if you can change after the ceremony into something lighter. I did it at my wedding (after having taken all "official" pictures), and I can't even tell you how pleased I still am with that decision! (@Perky - I changed into a burgundy red dress:-))
Have fun and enjoy the day - and the rest of your lives together!!!
@Maureen - wishing you all the best!!! I know you've spoken of a big brood - yours and his? I'm so happy for you. Maybe you could change into cool clothing (white, of course.....hehe) after the ceremony? Keep the veil on. You'd be adorable. Seriously, have a wonderful, memorable day and rest of your married life!
