Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Counter Culture Coffee Subscription

If it's locally roasted (like CCC! yay Durham based businesses!) or home-roasted by my husband - then black! Otherwise - a little cream and sugar is added.

And I admittedly can't pass up a holiday-themed latte from time to time.

Cook the Book: 'Good Eats: The Early Years'

Last Thanksgiving my husband and I went to his aunt's house for a week - she lives on a farm. Somehow my brother in law and i were put in charge of the turkey. We were freaking out about finding the gizards and couldn't find the second bag - we had a flashlight and everything involved trying to find them. Finally, my mother in law came into the kitchen, flipped the turkey over and pulled the second bag out. haha

Soup's On! Time to Stock Up on Campbell's

My grandfather refused to eat Campbell's soup - he always called it "depression food"....I guess he was right!

Soda vs. Pop vs. Whatever: What Do You Call Cola Drinks?

I live in NC and people definitely say Coke here - my dad (from South Dakota) still finds it very odd. his whole family says pop.

my grandma - who has lived her whole life in Boston calls it "tonic"

SE users: please introduce yourselves.

I am 23 and a graduate student at NCSU and UNC-Chapel Hill in a duel archives degree program. My boyfriend of 5 years got me into cooking - although I always have loved to bake.

I grew up in NC, so I love sweet tea and bbq (no tomatoes allowed near it!), but my mom is from Boston - where I go every summer, so I love New England and seafood as well!

oh and I'm krispychikin b/c thats been my screen name since I was 13 and it comes from a nickname when I was a kid.

Fast food regional items - do you try?

Wendy's in NC will from time to time have a Carolina burger (I believe that's what its called) which features chili and coleslaw on it. It is possibly found in other places in the South, but I don't know - I've only seen it here.

Food-related books that aren't cookbooks.

The United States of Arugula by David Kamp is quite interesting - particularly if you're interested in the gourmet movement in the United States

Cook the Book: Nigella Express

I always make my lunch for the next day before I go to bed. Then I'm never faced with not having enough time in the morning and being forced to eat out the next day.

I love brunch! Do you brunch out or in?

I love brunch! Its the best when you lazily get out of bed late Sat. morning.

My favorite place to do brunch is at Weaver St. Market - a co-op in Carrboro, NC (right next to Chapel Hill). its a buffet and super cheap and its perfect in the spring and early summer since most seating is outside and they have music on the weekends.

Stately Scoops: What Ice Cream Flavor Represents Your State?

Massachusetts could be chocolate chip cookie dough since that's where they were invented!

@aeschylus - Also agreed w/ the cheerwine for NC! Also - some sort of sweet tea flavored ice cream would also fair well here or anywhere in the south
