Freezer foods for a friend - please help with recipes!

Posted by newbatgirl, February 20, 2007 at 7:10 PM

A close friend of mine is having a tough time lately. Two close family members are very ill and in the hospital. Unfortuanly, not the SAME hospital. She spends her evenings after work shuttling between the two facilities to care for her loved ones. By the time she gets home, she's understandably too tired to cook a decent meal for herself. I'd like to fix her some dishes that can be stored in her freezer and reheated when she gets home but I'm not quite sure what would be best.

I have a recipe for turkey lasagna that claims to be freezer friendly so I'll use that. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Overcoming the wrath of grapes: any cures for a hangover?

Posted by newbatgirl, February 17, 2007 at 12:03 PM

Over the years, I've heard of some pretty interesting (and scary) food-based hangover cures. I'd like to compile a list of them all in one place. Can you help me out by submitting some of the more interesting ones you've heard about?

Don't worry, you don't have to test them out before you submit, this list is just for entertainment purposes!

Question of the Day: What are your hometown favorite eats?

I'm from NYC but I live in Philly now. When I go home, I need to have a real bagel, like from Columbia's or some place good like that and I also need to get to Junior's for some cheesecake.

And since hubby and I went Fordham in the Bronx, we also need to take a stroll down Arthur Ave and eat whatever looks good that day.

Question of the Day: Any vegetarians out there? Why'd you go meatless?

I was a veg for several years during and after college for health and ecological reasons. Severe anemia during pregnancy was chief among the reasons I went back to meat.

I still worry about the impact meat-consumption has on the environment and my family and I have been cutting back on it again lately. Not out entirely, just reducing.

What to put on which kind of bagel?

Wheat with peanut butter and sliced banana. One of my pregnancy cravings that never went away. Second fave is pumpernickel with veggie cream cheese.

Question of the Day: Which family member of yours is the best cook?

My husband. I'm the best baker, though. We've both surpassed my Mom, who's been taking it easy and letting us serve her, which is fine. She's certainly earned it.

My four-year old has perfected pizza dough though so the future is bright.

What's the deal with whole wheat Krispy Kremes?

Sorry but light and airy doesn't really describe KK to me. Last time I had them, they were like leaden sugar bombs.

Midnight... a sudden need for something sweet (or savoury).

Good bread topped with peanut butter and sliced banana. Chased with ice cold milk. You sleep like a baby after that.

For something sweeter, I reach for Carr's wheat crackers and a dab of Nutella.

What's your favorite Chip/Snack and flavor?

I loooove Jay's brand "Hot Stuff" barbecue potato chips. I pick and choose the ones with the most red dust on them!

Otherwise, gimme pork rinds with Tabasco any day. I prefer the way oversalted, puffy styrofoamy-textured ones, but I'll eat the super crunchy ones as well.

I also like Andy Capp hot fries/cheese fries/pub/fries. They're basically stick-shaped Funyuns with cheese flavoring, yes?

Holy crap I love junk.

What's your favorite Chip/Snack and flavor?

Cheddar and sour cream ruffles are my absolute favourite but I'm not allowed to have them because once I do I need more and more and more. I mostly end up eating Dirty Jalapeno Heat potato chips and Baked Cheetos.

What's your favorite Chip/Snack and flavor?

Okay, I'm changing the topic a little. Maybe it's just an addition. What do y'all like to use as dips? Regular corn chips are gluten-free for me...yay! What are your favorite dips ("normal" or otherwise), for all of these tasty chips
Oh, and I actually enjoy baked Lays...yum!

mmmm....let's see...a toasted cinnamon bagel with peanut butter smeared on top (so it melts slightly because of the warm bagel), a sliced banana, and drizzled with honey. filling, nutritious, and delicious.

What to put on which kind of bagel?

My favorites are a wheat or plain bagel with cream cheese and strawberry jam, a blueberry bagel with cinnamon walnut cream cheese, and an everything bagel with sharp cheddar and a slice of tomato. Mmm! I don't have bagels often, but this is really making me want one!

Smoked cheddar bagel, toasted, with green olive cream cheese. Pumpernickle, not toasted, with plain cream cheese, lox, capers, red onion and maybe tomato.

What to put on which kind of bagel?

Plain, toasted, lox, capers, cream cheese (hey, I'm from the South; we're a little new to this party), or cinnamon-raisin, toasted, with sharp cheddar.

Of course, the game changes if they're *fresh* (and good) - but the only time that happens in my area is if I've made them. If then, the answer is always: fresh butter. Preferably homemade.
