Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'

I love bacon because it is delicious and yummy and tasty and good. It works in sandwiches and vegetables and ice cream and breakfast plates and everything else. Who wouldn't love bacon?

Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'

If I'm not eating at a restaurant, it's usually a salad of some sort, often with grilled chicken on it. Unless it's football season, at which point, I often whip up a nice batch of chili.

Optional dash or two of orange bitters
Stirred until cold
Served in a chilled cocktail glass
Garnished with 1 or 3 olives (never 2)

I went to Wales as a very young child and have a distinct memory of the ears on Snap, Crackle, and Pop being more pointy on the Rice Krispies box than they were in the USA

Cook the Book: 'Baking Unplugged'

When I was somewhere in my single digits, I decided I wanted to make cinnamon rolls, so I found a recipe, mixed up all the ingredients, poured them in a pyrex, and let it cook. It was sometime during the baking process that it dawned on me that it might have been wise to follow the directions.

Does beer count as a snack? If not, then just about anything crunchy, but usually tortilla chips and salsa or queso.

Chili, though it tends to be more of a fall (or football season?) dish, it's still nice to get a blast of temperature and spice heat in the winter.

'Waiter Rant': The Giveaway

I had been going to the same restaurant/bar on a regular basis for about 5 or 6 years and had gotten to know the vast majority of the staff (wait staff, bartenders, barbacks, some of the kitchen staff, the owner). I arrived for breakfast one morning and they were short-staffed in the kitchen, so the lone person working front of the house wanted to get back to help out. Thus I got my only experience working front of the house (I got paid with a free breakfast!) as I got to seat a couple of people as they came in and took a drink order or two while the kitchen was caught up.

Burger Book Giveaway: 'The Hamburger: A History'

Health is of no concern with a burger in hand;
Angioplasty is something other people need.
Meat is good for you, right?
Buns and pickles and mustard too.
Utter joy comes from chowing down.
Red rivulets of ketchup drip from your chin.
Gorging yourself of a heavenly feast,
Everything else seems so unimportant.
Ready for another?

I'm a simple kind of lady, so my favorite soup is homemade chicken noodle. I like to make it with escarole and egg noodles. It's just so delicious.

Currently I crave the Thai Suki after reading all this. I'm sad that I never see it in the states. My fav place in Thailand is MK restaurants. Super cold restaurant, super hot soup!

homemade soups, starting with meat bones and ending with seasonal vegetables....the best! takes hours to simmer on the stove...but the end results are used in so many meals...the simplest being laddled into a big bowl and with a crusty bread on the side.

When I went to stay with my aunt and uncle this past summer, my aunt's mom made potato bacon soup for dinner one night. It was delicious! :)

growing up, my mother made the best borsht. It was full of potatoes and meat and was so good and hearty.

My favorite meal worthy soup would be homemade bean soup with ham and bacon in it. I make it with a ham bone and let it simmer for about 3 hours. Very tasty and filling. I also like my mom's homemade vegetable soup with fresh veggies from the garden! Mmm good!

My Momma liked to make big ol pots of soups and stews. All us kids and our kids would come over and eat. Sometimes she'd be creative and add different things. My Daddy would smell it and come in and ask what she was cooking. She would tell him she was making "stuff". It was funny. She was a great cook.

Nothing beats a rich, hearty samgyetang (Korean chicken stew made with ginseng, medicinal herbs and a tender guinea hen stuffed with sticky rice and plump red jujubes).

My fav. meal worth soup is a big bowl of old fashioned home made chicken stew with veggies

From Serious Eats

I love to make a Korean soup made with fresh chicken cooked in water and spiced with plenty of grated fresh ginger. The chicken is shredded, and a cup or two of cooked rice is added to the broth and cooked until the soup has the consistency of "chowder." Serve in Oriental bowls and garnished with sliced green onions and Korean sesame salt. Delish, and very healing if you are suffering from respiratory "flu."

I'd have to say Split Pea and Lobster Bisque, my favorites! Thank you!

Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'

A nice, warm bowl of beef or chicken curry (Japanese-style) cooked with just the right amount of veggies. It's not quite soup but I purposely thin it out so that it has that soupy feel to it. Warms you up and sticks with you all day plus leaves your house smelling wonderful for days. :)

My favorite meal worthy soup is my Salmon Chowder. It has bacon, onions, celery, carrots, potatoes, corn and salmon in a creamy chowder base. Add a loaf of garlic bread & you have a spectacular meal!
