Pumpkin seed oil
@salpico - that does sound amazing. Husband is excited to try it.
@pooch - yeah, I know I can't hear it, and I think that's why I'm having such a hard time finding a use for it.
You live where?
Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, but I consider Pittsburgh to be my second home.
I will be moving to Peterborough, Ontario (about an hour NE of Toronto, toward Ottawa) within the year.
Cook the Book: 'Kneadlessly Simple'
A beautiful, simple loaf of country white. Makes the whole house smell amazing.

Onigiri fillings
I usually use tuna and umeboshi, but I've also made some with smoked salmon and cream cheese.

How Old Is Too Old To Trick-or-Treat?
My younger sister is 22 and went out trick-or-treating this year. I thought that was kind of pathetic.
Vegan Crepes for Breakfast
The angry vegan police are going to jump out of the woodwork any moment and declare these non-vegan for having honey in them.
However, they look amazing and this vegan would totally scarf them down.
Onigiri fillings
Umeboshi! Hands down my favorite. I have to say though that it's a flavor that people either love or hate. I can't grasp quite why anyone would hate it because it's so ridiculously delicious, but, there ya go.
I love chopped kimchi also, but it's really garlicky and maybe not something you'd feel comfortable eating and then rushing off to class after.
@deetroit is right on with the olives. They work really, really well.
The important thing to remember is that you don't have to use Asian ingredients. For a while there I was obsessed with making them with a mix of roasted jalapenos and cheddar cheese.
Spicy tuna is very popular filling, and deservedly so. Canned tuna, Kewpie mayo, and Sriracha.
Oh! And small cubed spam browned well, then mixed with wasabi. Wrapped with the nori it's like an awesome triangular musubi.
Some flavors are not going to work with the nori (like the jalapeno mix, or the olives) but others pretty much beg for it. If you want a wrapping that is not nori with accompanying ocean flavor, you can also use yuba, which is a wrapper made out out of tofu skin (it happens when you boil soy milk, much what happens with regular milk, but with far more delightful results). I know it may sound gross, but trust me, it's just wonderful.
I'm really interested to see what you come up with. Please let us know.

French bread!!! YUM!
Pumpkin seed oil
@zucchini - there we go -- that sounds pretty delicious.... i might have to get some for the fall...
Pumpkin seed oil
Drizzled over a baked sweet potato with a sprinkling of pumpkin seeds, raw or pan-toasted. Okay, maybe gilded with a tiny dab of something cheesy -- goat cheese, ricotta, mascarpone, Philly cream cheese, a grating of Parm.

Ooopsss I forgot to say what my mother used it as, a green salad dressing, sorry.

When I bought the pumpkin seed oil at Wegman's, they were giving out tasting samples of it dripped over Haagen Daz vanilla ice cream as a topping. It sound weird, but the intensely nutty flavor worked with the ice cream and was quite delicious.

Multi grain bread! This looks like a great cookbook!!!

@MACDodge: my DH is from Queensbury
I am originally from Plymouth, MA.
But we are transplants to the culinary wasteland that is Cincinnati, OH.
You live where?
@sammie, there's only 2 of us in the Portland, ME area it seems! I guess we're just going to have to represent Portland's budding foodie community ourselves!
You live where?
Blenheim, New Zealand -- over the "ditch" (ie. Cook Strait. For those that don't know - it's a country of 3 islands to the east of Australia) from cardamompod in Wellington, NZ
You live where?
I'm in the burbs of Philly in Chester Co.
jcrisdo in orlando-where do you like to eat? Family is coming to Orlando on the 4th for a week and we're looking for good but inexpensive food like BBQ, breakfast, ethnic. Don't care much for the park food.
You live where?
Southern-ish Maine. Do not like it. Moving to Brooklyn in a few months for pastry school and planning to stay there. For a while, at least.
You live where?
Originally from So Cal; our permanent residence is 30 miles east of Seattle (just east of a large computer company); but we are currently in the middle of a 2-3 year assignment in Israel. We're renting a house in Caesarea (closest major city is Haifa.)

dbcurrie - tell me about it, sounds like the first time I got stuck behind a tractor on my way home from work, or the traffic jam on the highway the first day they put the lambs out to pasture in the spring. My favorite is the farmers that drive their tractors to the store for more beer because they're too drunk to drive a car!
You live where?
I'm a mere hour or two away from you--in Mid-Misery! I'm 30 miles southeast of Jefferson City. I grew up in Idaho and Utah, then I married and moved to Boston. Big time culture shock! I loved living there. Then lived in Tempe, Arizona; El Centro, California (don't ask); and had a glorious 15 years in San Diego. I remarried, and my husband went to grad school at MU in Columbia. It has taken quite an adjustment to living in this small, rural town of 1600 people. However, we've been here almost two years and I'm still relatively sane. Don't know how much longer it will last, though. LOL!!
You live where?
@London-ites - as far as I can figure, that is at least a half dozen of us! Amazing!
You live where?
I like to see Canada representing! But let me add my name to the list of folk from London ON! I lived there for 13ish years, and am only down the street an hour or so now.
I am back fairly frequently and am always happy to see new restaurants open. When I first moved there in 1991, there was not many options for either fine dining or 'ethnic' dining...now I'm glad to see that there are more options of both, if only you get off the main drags (Wellington South etc)
