Serious Eats: little orange straw's Profile

When my husband made me a birthday cake, he didn't know our oven cooks much hotter than it is set. The cake cooked in almost half the time and was black on top!

Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'

I like to make soup using a chicken carcass for the broth base. First I boil the carcass in a pot of water and strain out the bones and skin. I also pick off any remaining meat and add it to the pot. Then I add noodles, spices and veggies. It is different every time, but very filling and satisfying.

Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer

During my first encounter with Indian food, I didn't realize that the spiciness of the food can accumulate after the first bite, and I ended up with a very hot mouth!

I have made my great grandmother's carrot and zucchini o-shaped loaf for my in-laws for the past three years. I surround the loaf with and put in the middle tons of roasted broccoli - definitely a crowd pleaser, as it goes fantastic with the turkey and mashed potatoes and all the other classic sides!

Mashed potatos and gravy, just not Thanksgiving without this side.

Impossible to have just one, so the two would be cornbread dressing and Emmitt Smith's Sweet Potatoe Casserole.

My favorite "side" is the nut bread that my mother used to make for her entire married life. She found the recipe in a newspaper in 1948. It is chock-full of walnuts! Thanks!
