Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
My Dad dancing around the kitchen with the annual (raw) Thanksgiving Turkey, doing his "Super Turkey!" impersonation.
Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'
The bruchetta at a local Italian restaurant has a twist...SOME spice/herb in there just makes it delectable! I'll have to ask what it is the next time; usually we're too busy fighting over the last piece.
Cook the Book: 'Beyond the Great Wall'
My favorite remote travel adventure to date was the frightening but ultimately satisfying climb in a small RV up the Stelvio Pass in Italy. The hairpin turns would be scary on foot, much less in a large vehicle. The worst was when a full-sized tour bus had to pass us...we literally all stood on the far side of the RV in hopes of expanding the mere-inches gap between us.

Anything that does not sound logical, like "legs" and "chewy", or appetizing, like "wet dog", cracks me up.
Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'
I use a lot of eggs, garlic, and apples. They never get a chance to go bad. But many times I find myself tossing bottles of marinade; some new-looking concoction that we try once and decide we don't really like THAT much, but I can't throw the bottle away.
