My Great-Grandmother's red gravy which isn't your traditional Italian style. This was just tomato sauce, chopped onions, garlic, & bit of butter. It was served over mashed potatoes. I've never meet another person who like this but it's something I remember Her and my Grandmother making.

New Orleans, when to go, what to eat

Yeah but a week before that was a nice breezy 70 degrees in Dec. So snow aside it has been a mild winter to say the least.

New Orleans, when to go, what to eat

Bias cause I'm a local...but it's not that hot in June but this summer might be different with the way our winter has been this year. Mild winters tend to foresee a hot summer.

I don't know if anyone mentioned it but Hansen's is also excellent place for a snowball. If you don't mind a trip to Chalmette go to Rocky & Carlo's for some traditional Italian New Orleans food (drippin po-boys and fine Mac & cheese with gravy). Mother's is also a go (even though I'm not a fan of the cabbage) and Central Grocery in the Quarter for mufflettas.

I second the suggestion for Camilla Grill on Carrolton by the river. Hands down is one of my favorite places to eat in the city. I cried tears of joy when I found out that it was reopening. Traditional diner fare but it's also about the experience you have there with the waiters. Try the pecan pie warmed up upside down on the grill topped with some lovely ice cream. Simply wonderful.

Have you discovered any new amazing foods lately?

eggplant. Odd, but it was always one of those things I refused to try when I was a kid. God now though it's freakin great.

Anyone cooking up Mardi Gras?

Our chicken is soaking in buttermilk as I write. It shall be fried and eaten cold while waiting for my favorite parade Saturday.

I also haven't had a king cake yet this year because I can't find one that actually has the baby inside the cake.

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....

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 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.

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.

As a youngster living in Harrison, NJ. I would wake up every morning to the aroma of Pechter's bakery. Every Sunday morning I would wander over to their outlet store and purchase a still-warm Kaiser Roll ($0.13), and a loaf of Jewish Rye ($0.80 and also warm). On the way back home, one more stop at the corner market for a tub of whipped butter and a Sunday Times. The next few hours were blissfully spent with hot coffee, buttered rye toast, and for lunch, a hot Taylor Ham sandwich on the fabled Kaiser Roll. I have since moved to Colorado where I must bake my own bread and coerce family members into overnighting Taylor Ham for Christmas gifts, but nonetheless, the memories will never fade.

My grandmother always makes cranberry salad at Thanksgiving, though every year she makes a huge bowl and says, "Now, I only made this for you and me, because no one else likes it." Though everyone takes a polite serving she and I always get seconds and sometimes thirds.
