Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
When I'm at my parents' house, we get a griddle out on the tabletop and cook up thinly sliced meat and veggies. Then to finish, we do a kimchi fried rice and call it a night!

Memphis recommendations?
Sweet, I am headed home to Memphis and this thread had some great info!
@laurbelle2 Haven't tried fried pickles at Blue Plate! I can't resist their biscuits and usually stop by before flying back to LA. Love their homey setting.
7th Seoul International Tteok (Rice Cake) Fair, May 8-9
Did I read this correctly? You will be going to Seoul?!
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
Cold pizza while watching Saturday cartoons.
Dinner Tonight: Kimchi Soup with Tofu and Spinach
Love the traditional version of kimchi soup (made with pork or sometimes beef), so would be curious to see how the vegetarian version would be.
@yankeesgal My parents like to add canned tuna occasionally, but I have never warmed up to it much. I haven't tried it in years though, so maybe next time I'm home!
Chopsticks Aid, a Fork Attached to Chopsticks
Hilarious! I am very entertained by this for some reason. Might be the bright blue.
I have a tub of pork floss. Now what?
Hmm, I've never had pork floss. But, it might work on vermicelli or perhaps chopped up to top a salad? Pretty interested to try the stuff now!
Photo of the Day: Panda Head Cake
I might feel a tad uneasy about slicing into that panda head. I'd still eat it, but its eyes are like the Mona Lisa.
Your take on asparagus
I do the natural break and don't bother peeling. Like others, I don't think of not using the tougher parts as wasting.
Photo of the Day: Me And My Egg Roll
Good name indeed! I cannot resist remixing Jay Z and Beyonce's Bonnie and Clyde: "All I need in this life of sin is me and my egg roll..."
Coke and Wine?
I heard about this from a Spanish acquaintance and was also bowled over. But like most things, I guess I'd try it once.
The McNuggetini
At a loss for words and appetite. Good Lord!
Cook the Book: 'Almost Meatless'
Pasta puttanesca.
Fries with That Salad?
I would actually like to try this salad with fries. Sounds intriguingly tasty as a try-once thing.
In the Battle Between Spam Spread and Libby's Potted Meat, There Are No Winners
I'm a regular reader of The Tasty Island, but I've had to skim over the Spam Spread posts out of self-preservation. I will eat Spam occasionally, but for some reason, a "spread" is just not something I want to think about.
Mellow Mushroom: An Unlikely Southern Tradition
Ah, memories. I ate there a lot during college and always liked the low-key vibe.
Animal Style Fries at In-N-Out Burger
I always get my burger animal style, but cannot bring myself to order my fries that way.
Cook the Book: 'Into the Vietnamese Kitchen'
Get serious about making enough food for leftovers and bringing in lunch.
Cook the Book: Jamie at Home
Korean style braised short ribs.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Spaghetti with meatballs and chunks of Italian sausage in a smooth garlicky red sauce, caesar salad with homemade garlic croutons, warm crusty Italian bread with butter, a nice barolo, and lemon cheesecake for dessert.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
fajitas, hands down.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Layer sauerkraut in a casserole dish, place pork chops on top and season (I use cracked black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika), cover with lid or seal with foil, bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. I like to make mashed potatoes with it, but have also just done steamed veggies on the side.

Grandy's roast beef, carrots, and mashed potatoes

Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Coming from a Turkish household, my favorite family dinner is mercimek çorbasi (lentil soup) with köfte (ground beef/meatball-like patties), domatesli pilav (tomato rice), and yogurt.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Favorite family dinner would have to be my childhood birthday meal of Earl Abel's fried chicken and black bottom pie.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Sauerbraten and homemade sides.

Our favorite family dinner is Homemade Lasagna with a green salad and homemade yeast rolls.
Thank you so much for the chance to win.

We called it "chicken and glop", but it was chicken and rice. How did my mother put up with us?
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
It depends on the weather for me, but at this time of year it's roast chicken, mashed potatoes, peas (homegrown, please; frozen peas from the store are inevitably overripe), green salad, and pie.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
meatloaf and mashed potatoes!

My favorite family dinner would have to be posole. We have it every christmas eve with fresh tamales and it is sooo good.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Gosh, my favorite family dinner!? That's hard . My family is full of great cooks so I guess it has more to do with the atmosphere. So then I would have to go with Christmas eve dinner. 14 cousins plus 16 Aunts and Uncles all eating and drinking and being merry. Usually there's a goose (which doesn't hurt) and floating islands for desert. super yummm, it warms my heart just to think about it.

ribs. lasagna. soup. anything my mom makes
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Our favorite comfort food is mapo tofu - spicy and warming - over rice with some sauteed greens. Something about one bowl foods you can hold in your hand do it for us...
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Pasta with meat sauce and bread!

Boring but comforting - an overly stuffed tuna salad sandwich, on wonderful crusty rye bread, a slight smear of mayo, crisp iceberg lettuce, juicy tomato, cut in half please.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Irish Coddle. A big pot, almost stew but with not quite enough liquid, of potatoes, bacon, sausage and onion. Gets you fattened up for hibernation season.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
barbeque salmon and broccoli slaw, mom's favorite summer specialty
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
One of my favorite family meals is banh xeo. They're savory, yellow crepes and having all sorts of people in my family through marriage, some being born in Vietnam, some being born here, etc., my mom gets a lot of different requests as to what to put in them. First she makes the vegetarian kind for those folks then regular Americanized ones then the hardcore ones.
