We make a batch of stuffing that is too big to all fit in the bird, so we do some in the bird and bake the rest in a casserole dish in the oven. That way we have some of the tastiest in-bird kind, but still have enough to go around and please everyone.
Pad Thai is up there, of course, joined by cold sesame soba noodle salads, and glass noodles with shrimp and a light chili-lime dressing.
Enthusiasm for the charms of different ingredients, and a sense of adventure to find out how they play. Particular skills can be learned, but you gotta bring your own gumption.
I make too much hummus not to endeavor to make my own pita to slather it on! Yum.
Most fundamentally, my mom for instilling in me a a value of good home cooking and family traditions of shared food. Most regularly, my husband without whose daily company for me to share meals with I would probably resort to having cereal for dinner every night. Most generally, the internets for the troves of information and inspiration that it puts at my fingertips. And most recently, Deb over at Smitten Kitchen because of her personable writing and delectable food photography.
Cooking: Butternut Squash for vegetable, kumquat or pomegranate for fruit
Raw: Avocado or bell pepper for vegetable (though I suppuse it's really a fruit), nectarine, fig, or boysenberry for fruit.
My most recent favorite is a Brandied Caramel Cheesecake served with fresh peaches and toasted pecans. My preceding favorite was a Stilton-Blackberry Tart with Walnuts and Pomegranate Reduction. But my all-time, live-long favorite has got to be a good ol' Rhubarb pie, crisp, or cobbler with quality ice cream.
