Does anyone else put bechamel in their lasagna?
Yep, I think the bechamel is the best part, LOL
Shovel or Savor?
Shovel, but I'm trying to eat much slower (savour) when I dine at friend's houses or in a restuarant. It's hard though...
Your restaurant dessert of choice?
Oh, and anything with a caramelly base eg. banoffi pie, pecan pie etc.
Your restaurant dessert of choice?
Citrus tart! Lemon, lime, blood orange etc. it doesn't phase me. I love 'em all!
I'm not a chocolate person, so I steer clear of those dishes. I also can't stand custard, so that rules out creme brulee and bread pudding.
But, I am a fan of fruit pies. And anything with whipped cream!
Family Food vs. Company Food
I love having people over for dinner! While I'll occasionally whip up someting new, most of my dinner 'parties' tend to be things like spaghetti, stews and meatloaf. I think that my friends are there to talk to each other and me, not wait while I slave in the kitchen (-;
They are the things I am most comfortable cooking, and the people I invite into my home are my friends and therefore an extension to my family.
I must admit though, I do like to jazz things up a bit from the ordinary eg. roasted garlic mashed potatoes or 'rainbow' spaghetti (spinach, egg, and tomato coloured pasta). And I love playing around with dessert!
I understand where you are both coming from, it took me a long time to feel comfortable enough to serve my 'everyday' food to guests.

Sand-wich. Unless it's going to be on a sub roll. Then it's a sub or a grinder (depending on what part of Massachusetts I'm in).

My dad, born and raised in Southern California, pronounces the word onion as "ungyun" -- this is apparently due to his father having been born and raised in Lucy-Anna.

I've begun to say sammies which annoys even me, but I suppose when trying to say the actual word I'm pretty normal: sand-witch.

OK, this has nothing to do with food. But in "The Ritz" Rita Moreno as Googi Gomez, a bad Puerto Rican lounge singer. She had a customer named "Hugh Jater". Of course with her pronunciation it came out...yup...
"Jew Hater".

My dad says sangwich too. I don't know why and have made fun of him for it! He's lived in the country in the Central Valley of California all his life. People out there also say "ammonds" instead of "all-monds." My grandpa, life-long resident of the same area, puts an "ee" on the end of the days of the week. Sundee. Then, people ask me where I'm from because they think I've got an accent. But I don't. I grew up between San Francisco and Sacramento in California. Perhaps there is a little country twang out in the farmland among some of the long-time residents out there.

@ThatGirl........and you should. I was already laughing, but the Fuzzy Nasal knocked me off my chair!

My Nonna in her broken english says Saaaangwich. And she always called "hors d'oeuvres" - Hor Derbs, which has been shortened to "Derbs" in our family. She'll come over for dinner and say "OH! Don't make the derbs we have too much food". This is the same Nonna who offered to make me a "Fuzzy Nasal" with OJ and vodka....and calls my cousin's boyfriend "Trevor" - "Treasure" or "Travel". I could write a book!
Family Food vs. Company Food
I think I'd have to divide it up based on weekend vs. weeknight. There are certain things in the winter--generally long slow braises--that are untenable during the week. These naturally tend to be a bit more elaborate and impressive to company and I like to serve on the weekend. However, there are plenty of weeknight dishes that I might make on the weekend depending on what's on hand and what I've gotten from the farmers market on Sunday. That being said, I've learned to love having guests on a weeknight so they get served chicken, lasagne, fish, meatloaf, etc. which is what I would have made without company anyway. I always like to offer guests dessert, which could be cookies cut off from homemade dough I've got in the freezer accompanied by a scoop of homemade ice cream that I always seem to have on hand. Weekend guests might get a baked tart or something that I've planned ahead for. In the summer, weeknight or weekend, grilling is all the same and pretty quick. Could be burgers, chicken, or fish, hot off the grill.
