What's for Dinner Tonight? The 'Come-Back-GatorPam!' Edition.
i am envious of all of you sitting down to a homecooked meal!! tonight i will probably eat whatever greasy campus food seems the most healthy. probably some kind of wrap. *sigh* i do miss good home cooked meals!
How do you control your food cravings?
@hungrychristel - how in the hell do you partake of MJ and NOT get the munchies/craving? i envy that lol
when i crave something i make myself drink a full glass of water and wait a while to see if i still crave it. if i do, i eat it. half the time tho the craving goes away.

Can You Cook What You've Never Eaten?
i think that "authentic" is all in your head. what one person considers authentic may be totally different from another person. recipes that are old and have been around for years are staples because they are good no matter what cook makes them, and allow for creativity and expression with in that culture. so if you follow a good recipe and it tastes delicious to you, that should be all that matter s.

Your Fast Food Urge.....just had mine...tasty.
McD's is the only fast food i will actually crave. when i want a cheeseburger, nothing will work but one from the golden arches. it is rare but it does happen. that and I love their sweeet tea.
Surprising Comfort Foods
i agree w everyone about the buttered noodles. pasta of any kind is always a comfort food to me
Surprising Comfort Foods
@bareneed - yeah this place is small and tiny and hidden in the back of our student center. but its amazing. the rest of campus is the greasy fake fast food you would expect. i eat at this little place w the wraps probably every day lol
Frozen Pea Pops for Kids
i agree with gunbarrelgirl - kids are definitely NOT that stupid.
SE College Division...
any one from the SE team want to chime in on this?
SE College Division...
thanks for all the support guys!!
@chiff yes that could work too. i just think that hearing from those of us with limited means and money and our relationships with food would be an interesting addition for SE
SE College Division...
@ emilytaylor - thats why it would be so interesting. to see how those of us with limited means and time and unique living situations figure out ways to find amazing food. yes, i am busy, but food is something i am passionate about. you make time for your passions, you save money to get that special item at the store. we may be young and broke but we are the next generation of foodies and we are going to be the driving force of change in the way America eats.
SE College Division...
lucky that you are in NYC! oh i forgot to say - I am at Kent State University, located in Ohio, in between Cleveland and Akron. sort of a farming town but a great school nonetheless.
Bento Help!
also - do i have to use the traditional japanese foods for bentos? I am not a fan of rice at all -its a texture thing. and acquiring certain things in a dorm room or campus shop is hard. just wondering!
What's for Dinner? 09/02
i love these dinner threads. alas, as i am limited to campus food im afraid my contributions wont be that tasty.
but for tonight - my new favorite food - a smoked turkey & brie wrap. with dried cranberry mayonnaise. its amazing and the best thing i have ever eaten on campus.
"Nerdy" recipe ideas?
or maybe its a health potion, cant remember, havent played in a long time. there are now WoW themed mtn dew too.
a cake, decorated with series of 1 & 0.
Cold Pizza
this is probably wrong but when we order pizza to the dorm we often order an extra one that goes straight into the fridge for breakfast the next morning. cold pizza for breakfast is the best. especially if you have a hangover lol
"Nerdy" recipe ideas?
im sure this is not the nerdy/dorky stuff you are talking about but all i can picture in my head are WoW (world of warcraft) themed cakes and food... such as blue kool-aid as a mana potion.
What is YOUR Kellogs Cornflake Fantasy?
we always just add the butter to a boxed brownie mix. comes out fudgy and delicious!
Your Edible Vice
chocolate chip cookie dough. i can eat and eat cookie dough. and also cheesy garlic bread. cant stop eating it!
What is YOUR Kellogs Cornflake Fantasy?
@ hungrychristel - apparently i am getting it from the wrong source. ive never heard of anyone eating just the buds and enjoying it. interesting.
Sweet tea
i agree witth teddyburr, sometimes its just that sentimental feeling. and i know what you mean, my Grandma makes the most amazing sweet tea, and we even have her recipe, but it just still isnt the same. i attribute it to the fact that she uses well water.
What is YOUR Kellogs Cornflake Fantasy?
@onepercent99 - it doesnt really taste good if you eat it tho....
What is YOUR Kellogs Cornflake Fantasy?
@ juliebugsmama - i totally agreee! he is delicious as captain jack :)
im not a huge fan of cornflakes but i would say fresh strawberries and honey
What's in your kid's lunch bag?
@ sailordave - are "special brownies" for special occasions okay? :)
Are we Freaks?
You know what I find much stranger than being into food? Being into fantasy basketball.
Are we Freaks?
Hi soozm32,
I saw your recent post about how much you enjoy using All-Clad cookware. As an All-Clad representative, I would love to talk more with you about your experience! Please e-mail me at Tnikolich@marcusa.com.
Thanks! Taryn
How do you control your food cravings?
Wow, I can finally post comments.
Anyway, I have to make a plug for the book "Intuitive Eating." The book recommends keeping all the foods you could possibly crave on hand so that when you do have a craving, you can just eat that food and then move on.
It's actually a lot of work to figure out what you really want to eat and then focus on enjoying it. But it does make eating a pleasurable experience, which is new to me.
Another benefit: my pre-pregnancy clothes fit, which saved me a lot of money.

Can You Cook What You've Never Eaten?
Cooking instincts are one topic not yet spoken on. Recipes, even very detailed ones are just an ingredient list followed by some rough directions for combining. An innate understanding of how they combine and proper technique is the key.
I am of the opinion that GREAT cooks are born, not taught. This is the kind of opinion that gets all the rookies up in arms. Of course I come from a line of cooks, on both sides of the family. Some things in life come easy for me, math, drinking, and especially cooking are on my list. Your list might be different.
No matter the region or cuisine the process is very similar when I am approaching a new recipe. I do extensive research on MANY variations of the recipe. The technique must become understood BEFORE you start your first burner. Otherwise you are looking to lists when you should be deglazing. Proper technique is crucial for all food. Over the past year I have attempted and blogged foods from five continents and been blown away with the results.
Authentic is trickier. As an Italian American I have always been very interested with Authentic Italian cuisine. I do my absolute best when it comes to recreating regional variations. But alas without living in the area and having access to the regional ingredients, I am just making a similar dish, not the same dish. Does that mean my hand made orecchiette are not good, of course not. Does it mean that because I am using broccolli rabe instead of the local variation of rape that mine is not authentic? Yes.

I agree with CJ, who posted first on this topic...
authentic recipe and ingredients always help

So wonderful to have so many fellow writers! I actually have two blogs to share. One is my personal blog: www.thedilettantista.wordpress.com which covers, well, EVERYTHING, cooking, restaurants, movies, etc. I started it this summer when I was living in New York City for an internship, so it is especially heavy on NYC eating.
I am also a contributing writer to Carpe Durham, a food blog that focuses on eating in Durham, North Carolina. The blog was started a few years ago by Duke law students, and I am a newer writer. The blog is a great source if you live in the Triangle area!

While I'm at it, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you food bloggers. The time, effort, and enthusiasm you all put into your blogs delights, entertains, and educates the rest of us.
Thank you all!
