Cook the Book: 'Good Eats 2: The Middle Years'

I've made Alton's cornbread pudding for many years in a row now. I'll also have a brined turkey, roasted garlic mashed potatoes (thank you, Emeril), green beans with a creamy mushroom sauce, fresh cranberry relish, jellied cranberry sauce (no whole berries), and gravy. It took a few years to learn gravy. I'm a slow learner.

Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'

I've always had a penchant for trying new foods. When I was 6, maybe 7, I found myself at a Bob Evans in West Virginia on the way home from Myrtle Beach. I hunted the menu for something that I'd never had before. After all, we were on vacation, it's a time to be adventurous.

I found it! Beef liver and onions. I'd heard that no one liked this dish, but I liked all sorts of things. I was going to need to explore this for myself. Well, the fight went back and forth with my dad. "You won't like it." "I will." "You won't." "I will." "If you don't, you're going to eat it anyhow." "Won't be an issue." "I'm serious." "So am I."

And thus, beef liver and onions was ordered. I do believe that my dad tried to make me eat it, but before I'd begrudgingly eating my second bite of this horrendous dish, my mom had passed me dad's meatloaf and he choked down the remainder of my dish.

Thanks, Dad, for not choosing that vacation to stand by your decision.

Serious Heat: Hot Sauces That Think Outside the Bottle

I thought about that adjustable heat, and I think it's a bad idea.

Let's say you like your hot sauce a little hotter than medium. You're going to deplete the hot side faster than the mild. Then eventually, you're going to be left with only mild, but you don't like mild. You like hotter than medium. So, what are you going to do with the left over mild?

You're really are just wasting hot sauce.
