Where to buy a deep fried turkey?
You can order one from Luby's cafeteria in Texas, but I don't know if they will ship. I asked for one cut up, and they refused as did all of the grocers and restaurants I called. They all want to give them to you whole! I'm bringing turkey onlhy to a group meeting this weekend before Thanksgiving, and due to remodelling, don't have a kitchen just now to heat and cut the bird up. Turns out, it's impossible to buy a baked bird, cut up. You can buy them whole, all day long. Got sliced breast by the pound instead, no drumsticks for anyone, no dark meat, no fun. www.lubys.com
'Koodie': Another Term to Describe the Children of Smug, Self-Satisfied, Food-Obsessed Parents
How is that pronounced, like foodie? It doesn't even make sense. The K doesn't make it "kid who likes food." How about foodettes.

Stuffing with gravy, no giblets anywhere.

Fresh Food on TV: Weekend Edition
Secrets of a Restaurant Chef is my favorite cooking show. I DVR it every week. I also DVR Sunday Morning on CBS every Sunday morning, and this Sunday is their annual "Eat, Drink and Be Merry" show which I look forward to every year, that is all things foodie! Whoo hoo, how could you leave that one out?

That just makes me cringe. And my skin grow goose bumps. Who buys this ?

I love Chipotle's burrito bowl with rice, chicken, black beans, extra pico, cheese and sour cream.

Lemon chicken with cole slaw.
100 (okay, 50) Things Restaurant Staffers Should Never Do
Do not ask "well, is everything just perfect???"
Do not sit down at the table with the guests.
Do not ask the guests what they do for a living, what they are doing in your city, or if they are in town for business or pleasure. Nunya.
As to No. 39, we live in Texas, and if you are a woman and eat in a Tex-Mex place, most likely, you will be called "lady" by somone who knows little English. I used to be offended by that, until my Spanish speaking husband explained that "lady" is a literal translation of "Senora," a term of respect in Mexico. In my Spanish classes, I was taught it meant only "Mrs." or a term for a married woman.
Embarrassing dining moment, do I go back? (Gross out caution!)
Ahh, kids. Gotta love em. Mine once puked at Chuck E Cheese. But then again, that probably happens twice a day there.
Help! Whoopie Pies...
I don't know how I got to be my age (which is fairly substantial :0) without ever hearing about Whoopie Pies until last summer when we went to Maine to visit friends, and they told us about them. These look fantastic.
How to Make Creepy Meat Hands
That is creepy indeed.
Do You Like Mock Foods?
No, I never understood things like "mock apple pie" made with saltines. Better to wait for apple season. I eat the turkey bacon because I like BLTs but shouldn't eat bacon. It's an okay substitute, but stays kina rubbery no matter how long it's nuked.
Cook the Book: BBQ Jalapeño Poppers
These are great with any of your favorite spices or condiments. My fav is the juice of one lime and Adobo seasoning, for a Mexican flair. Since I rarely have bacon, I've also wrapped them in thinly slice ham and proscuitto. I cook them on high heat (400-450) for 25 minutes or so. The heat of the jalapeno is tempered in the oven. I don't use gloves either, and typically end up rubbing an eye, especially since the cleaning process makes me choke and cough. Last time I made them, my fingers burned for 24 hours.

Cook the Book: Migas
She's coming to a bookstore near me in December, so I'll buy her book. By the way, does this woman really homeschool a gaggle of kids, cook, sew, decorate and photograph, maintain a blog on all of the above, and tour the US for her new book? Or is she cloned?
The family that eats together...What's for dinner 10/25 Sunday??
Family all out of town or working, so egg salad sandwich for me. Too bad I don't know Pooroldmama to wrangle an nvite for pierogis. Were they homemade? I have a recipe from my Polish MIL, but it's so long, I haven't tried it yet.
Alex's Day Off
We watched the first show (taped, it's on at a bad time), and my husband pronounced it a failure because she is trying to be sweet when she is so bat-sh_t crazy mean on Chopped. But he dislikes a lot of the Chopped judges for that reason, "inexplicable cruelty." (Don't get him started on Arron Sanchez). Anyway, I thought it was weak as well, not only for her attitudinal about-face, but for her simple recipes and quaint stories of short cuts that we all know from our mothers and grandmothers. It was really a basic cooking show. Probably won't remember to tape it again.
Dinner Tonight: Patty Melt
Coincidentally, I had my first patty melt last night at IHOP. I don't recall hearing of them before, but perhaps this article got into my subconscious. I didn't notice it with my full conscious until today. And by the way, it was really delicious. Can't imagine how I missed it all these years.

I'd like to try the hot dogs at Papaya King.
OOPS!!! Hit the wrong key. It's still Asheville!
yes, it was Beth. Late! Time for bed!
OOPS!!! Hit the wrong key. It's still Asheville!
I was beth that mentioned the restaurant at the entrance to the farmer's market, sorry! Ready to go back myself now. The rates are low at this time of year.
Girl's Night In --Recipes needed!!
Once I lived in California, and was in a ladies group that met regularly. They asked what the theme would be for the next meeting, food-wise, and I suggested all appetizers, meaning lots of finger food involving cheeses of all kinds, dips and chips, lady sandwiches. They were horrified, it being the 1980's when they were giving their kids only papaya juice and rice cakes for snacks. They accommodated me, but they thought I was weird, being from Texas and all. Suspicious glances all around. Can't eat like that anymore!
Is the Food Network getting too flashy?
Fweety, I thought I read it on this blog, but can't find it. Anyway, here's an article, I think it will be the Cooking Channel henceforth.

Pumpkin bread like only my mother can make!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Thanksgiving wouldn't feel right without a chunky, moist dressing (or stuffing, though I'm taking Alton's advice to heart and keeping it out of my turkey this year). But I've also a particular fondness for all the orange Thanksgiving sides -- caramelized yam, pumpkin purees, fleshy marrows. Those Squash Half Moons with Butter, Sesame, and Salt sound like heaven.

This place is in Brooklyn around the corner from me.

Where to buy a deep fried turkey?
I'd suggest checking with friends, caterers, and/or local restaurants asking if they would fry one for you. I always fry my own, and have done two or three on occasion for friends.

I love stuffing/dressing of any kind, but it's tough to choose between that and a good green bean casserole. More, please!
