Sticky Spaghetti Noodles
If saving them for later, or using in a cold salad, run the cold water over them like yayfood suggested. If eating them hot and immediately, I run the hot water over them so the butter still melts!

Buttermilk substitute
I always do the milk and vinegar - I've recently heard that plain yogurt is another subsitute, but would probably be better in dressings and other dippy type things; I used it soda bread recently and it did not work at all.
What time do you eat dinner?
7:30 - immediately following jeopardy!

Valentine's Day Giveaway: Macarons from Itzy Bitzy Patisserie
nutella. and chocolate. predictable, but there's nothing better for valentine's day.
New Jersey Dispatch: Celebrating Burns Night with Haggis in Kearny
You can get haggis through the mail from the scottish gourmet; my father orders it every year at christmas. I do believe, however, that it comes in a can.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks
Ribeye if someone else is paying, Flank if it's me who is footing the bill.
Jeeves, and the Art of Curing the Hangover
McDonalds with a coke. Never fails.
Cook the Book: Jamie at Home
Jamie's Shin Stew - mouthwateringly delicious, plus easy-peasy. Has hints of cinnamon and rosemary which warms you up on a cold day. I add parsnips to mine as well. Sooooo good.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks
ribeye from a fancy place, flank if it's from the supermarket!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage
Smokin' Al's, in Bay Shore, New York - sooooo good. Who knew you could find good 'que on Long Island?
Win a Free Organic D'Artagnan Turkey Here!
Another for the Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes!
Cook the Book: 'Martha Stewart's Cooking School'
Mrs. Millman's chocolate frosting. Easy, delicious, and no butter or cream cheese (I don't think either one belongs in frosting)!

Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes!
Win a Free Organic D'Artagnan Turkey Here!
Pioneer Woman Sweet Potatoes - the best!
Win a Free Organic D'Artagnan Turkey Here!
Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes, because they are EXACTLY the same as my mom's world (okay, LOCALLY) famous Sweet Potatoe Casserole.
Cook the Book: 'Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics'
rye party bread spread with a combination of minced onion, mayo, and kraft parmesan cheese, and put under the broiler. sounds disgusting, but even the pickiest eaters can't get enough of them.
Best apple for pie?
Northern Spy - the best, although not a newer variety - an heirloom. Grandma used them over a 100 years ago. I've always used them as well. Hands down best.
There's Nothing Fab About Prefab, Premade Drink Mixes
I've tried Stirrings - they're not bad, although I would refrain from ones like "Mojito" - half the fun is getting mint stuck between your teeth. But when having a crowd, and you want a drink that is a little bit fancier, a high quality mix is a good option (I like the Lemon Drop best!).
Photo of the Day: Oscar's Adirondack Smoke House
Bacon is extra smokey and delicious - but I wouldn't call it a "resturant" - it's a butcher's.
Do you have a recipe you won't share?
I have recipes no one would want.

My fondest memories are my mother cooking and baking Christmas dinner with all the trimmings and cakes and pies. garrettsambo@aol.com

most of my favorite food memories are from when we used to go camping. I don't know why, but everything always used to taste better when camping. I think my favorite food memory was the first time my dad cooked turkey on a grill (while camping of course). Not only was I amazed that you could cook a turkey anywhere but the oven, it was also the best turkey that I had ever had.

My fondest childhood food memory is anything with my grandma. Seems she was cooking all the time, and the kitchen really was the heart of the home. Wether it was eggs and bacon for breakfast or a large family celebration, grandma always did it all, and with love. I do remember that she had to make meat and potatoes for grandpas lunch everyday!

my fav childhood memory regarding food centers around anything my grandmother let me get involved in making. but the memory that stands out the most is distinctly remembering making homemade gnocchi with my grandmother many times...rolling out the dough, cutting it into small pieces and then using our thumbs to make the indent....

my fondest childhood food memories are watching my mom cook and bake

Everything my Grandma cooked was delicious but her breakfasts were my favorite. As a kid I couldn't wait for morning to come! She'd bake biscuits from scratch mixing with the scents of bacon, home fries and scrambled eggs with vegetables.

My mom's spaghetti and meatballs. The home made sauce was so good!

My fondest memory was during the summer. The entire family would get together on a hot summer evening and we would use a hand crank ice cream machine to make some of the best tasting icecream ever

I remember eating pancakes and waffles for dinner sometimes and it was such a treat. That's still a feel good food for me.

My grandmother's seafood gumbo - she made it over a fire in a big pot in the backyard. She lived two blocks from the beach in Mississippi, and when she was ready to add the shrimp and crabs, my dad and uncle would go down to the boats and buy it fresh, and add it to the gumbo.

My grandmother made the best stew, ever. She made it in a pressure cooker and every one of us has tried to duplicate it with her recipe but none are the same- ours are good hers was beyond outstanding.

My Grandfather making breakfast. He was a silent man and showed his love by doing something special for his grandkids. When spending the night has his house we would wake up every morning to his cooking bacon, fried eggs and toast. The eggs cooked in the bacon grease. He never altered his menu and continued this even when I was an adult. He passed away over 20 years ago and miss his special love.

While my mom would bake from a recipe, I would mix ingredients to my liking alongside. She would write down the measurements I used in the off chance I made something edible. Most of my baked goods tasted like baking soda.

one of my earliest memories is my father cooking fresh caught fish with lots of oil in a cast iron pan

Grilled steak cooked over real wood fire in the living room fireplace. Never tasted anything else that was quite the same.

My favorite memory is of helping my mom bake "Brown Cookies" on snow days. When there was a snowstorm and school was called off, my mother, who was a high school Home Economics teacher, would immediately get out her grandmother's recipe for soft molasses cookies. I was always fascinated by the jar of slow-moving molasses, the yellow measuring cups, and the point at which the dough became something delicious enough to taste. Mom insisted I use a clean spoon for each sample, so I would always end up using up all of the spoons in the silverware drawer.

My favorite food memory is my father making up dishes as he went along. One day my mother left chili in a crock pot and he decided to add noodles to it. It would have been really good, perhaps, if the noodles were cooked when he added them. Instead, the uncooked noodles sort of made a mess. Never one to be daunted, he fried up that mess and it was very good.
