An apple a day...
What is your favorite apple variety and why? I've not branched out a lot, but the favorite of what I've tried are the Honeycrisps.
What was the one meal your mother made when you were little that you absolutely hated?
My mom made hamburger with white gravy over toast. When I got old enough I made something for myself!

What do you eat for breakfast on holidays?
My mom has always made a cheesy sausage casserole for breakfast on Thanksgiving. And on Christmas morning it's usually Rotel & Velveeta dip with cocktail weenies wrapped in store bought croissants. Not the classiest, but it's SO sinfully good!
Best food and beverage pairings?
milk with pizza
milk with tomato based beef stew
milk with chili
Are there any foods you're ashamed to love?
I second:
Totino's pizza rolls
Velveeta & Rotel cheese dip
10 for $1.00 ramen noodle soups
I will then add:
frozen fish sticks
McDonald's & Taco Bell
mac-n-cheese (made with Velveeta)
potato cheese soup (made with Velveeta)
hmmm...maybe anything made with Velveeta?
Where to eat in Dallas, Texas?
An awesome hole-in-the-wall Mexican place: Herrerra's on Maple at Oak Lawn. Greasy spoon: Kel's Kitchen & Diner on Forest at the tollway. Burgers: Twisted Root Burger Company in Deep Ellum or Jakes Burgers on McKinney uptown.
School lunches - A walk down memory lane
I, too loved pizza days (rectangle with white cheese and pepperoni chunks or yellow cheese with sausage bits). And the hamburgers were pretty good too (although, even then, we called them mystery meat).
My mom still works in the same school district I grew up in so occasionally I'll go have lunch with her. Now they have something called "chicken rings" that scare me. What part of the chicken comes in a ring??
Sunday Night Soups: Beef Chili con Carne With Meat (Gurgling Cod Remix)
A question:
"Beef Chili con Carne With Meat" sounds kind of repetitious. From what I know, "con carne" in spanish means "with meat". So your recipe is called "Beef Chili With Meat With Meat"?
Of course, maybe this is the reason I hated spanish in school! ;)
Favorite Kind of Cake and Icing?
I'm not a huge cake person, but I DO love Boston Cream Pie.
I've been trying to come up with something funny regarding the fact that my favorite cake is named a pie but I can't and now I'm frustrated. I need some BCP!
toppings on your hamburger... your "go to" combination?
1) ketchup and blue cheese (don't make fun of me!)
OR
2) ketchup, mayo, caramelized onions, grilled mushrooms and swiss cheese.

My mother made several beautifully decorated fruit, nut stollens every year for Christmas breakfast. We would have that nuked or toasted prior to opening gifts. Afterward, we'd have a more traditional eggs and bacon or sausage breakfast. If one of her children couldn't be with the rest of us for the holidays, she'd make their's earlier and mail. If she was staying with me, I'd know that she'd be in the kitchen most of Christmas Eve, making a mess. Secretly, we all thought they weren't quite worth the effort, and were on the dry side. Mom is gone now, and I wish I knew how to make her beautiful, delicious stollen. Even more, I wish she were here to mess up my kitchen.

Thanks for sharing comments on your holiday breakfast fixings :) I prepare our traditional Christmas brunch after gifts are opened---menu varies from year to year as the grandkids grow & tastes change. Hot chocolate is always a must, tho'
What do you eat for breakfast on holidays?
I like to start out with steaming hot mugs of spiced apple cider (make it in a big coffee urn) and hot cocoa with homemade marshmallows and homemade cinnamon rolls while we are opening gifts (BIG family event-around 25+ people). Then for the actual sit-down breakfast we have eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and grits-the whole Southern deal.
We don't eat until around 7 or 8 in the evening on Christmas day so I like to make a hearty breakfast. We eat earlier on Thanksgiving and New Years, so it's usually just homemade cinnamon rolls/yeast rolls and hot cider/cocoa for breakfast.
What do you eat for breakfast on holidays?
For Thanksgiving, usually some sort of homemade muffin with scrambled eggs, though one year I made mini quiches the day before instead of scrambled eggs. Always, I make hot spiced apple cider.
For Christmas, I've started making my own panettone, along with scrambled eggs and hot spiced apple cider.
What do you eat for breakfast on holidays?
I try to start the day virtuously, with my usual homemade fruit & yogurt shake with a few TBSP protein powder, telling myself it'll hold me til the Big Dinner Thing, but knowing deep in my heart that I am deluding myself.
When my relatives get together for holiday eating- and may I mention they're Polish - you can't get away with just a shake til dinner. These are people for whom the word "punczki" - (a jelly-filled donut) - is a personal term of endearment, which they utter while pinching your cheek with great affection.

On thanksgiving I don't eat breakfast because I know I am going to nosh all day on the food I am cooking for the main event.
But on Christmas, I eat normally. It's the breakfasts after Thanksgiving and Christmas that are my special breakfasts. I always have a big hunk of Pumpkin Pie or leftovers!

What do you eat for breakfast on holidays?
Christmas morning has always been grapefruit halves with honey, scrambled eggs, toasted english muffins with butter and jam, panettone, bacon, and Kippers, or Scottish smoked herring steamed in a plastic bag, orange juice, tea and coffee. .This hasn't changed once for as long as I can remember and it's alway made in the morning, before any presents could be opened.
