Signature ingredient -- and is it a flaw or fav?

i dont have one in particular, but i make a wide variety of dishes and my husband puts hot sauce on EVERYTHING. he might take one or two bites without it, but he will without fail end up putting it on. i used to feel kind of offended, it seemed my food wasnt tasty enough but he even puts it on restaurant food so i guess his tastebuds just need the spice!

Procrastination Picadillo

You can usually pit olives easily buy smashing them with a glass with a flat bottom or something equal to that. Smashing them is the key, makes it so so fast and easy. Of course this works best with softer olives, but also works with firmer ones :)

Irish Ice Cream Soda

mmmmm...this reminds me of the beer floats we make...guiness or another dark beer, blended with good chocolate ice cream....:)

Dinner Tonight: Orzo 'Risotto'

i have a recipe for something similar, chicken breast is browned then taken out, orzo added to pan with chicken stock and all the brown chicken bits scraped up. when it boils, add the chicken and some herbs back in, cover and simmer for about 12 min till pasta is done. serve with feta and fresh tomatoes and greek olives....so good and creamy and its a full meal in one pan!

How do you get a cup for free?

I didn't think they could really change that much; I mean, it's a cup of coffee, not a particularly sophisticated recipe, but... wow. I got a large this morning, and I was just wired! It even tasted pretty good too!

Normally I tend to shun Starbucks, but if every coffee wakes me up like that one, I think I'll have to change my ways...

Nutmeg rules the world! I don't put it in everything, but I make the stuff that benefits from it a lot -- mac and cheese, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, etc. My herb of choice in fall and winter is sage. Now it's all about parsley.

Signature ingredient -- and is it a flaw or fav?

almost all of the desserts i bake are served with freshly whipped cream and homemade raspberry coulis -- i didn't realize how predictable i'd gotten until a friend teased me about it.

Signature ingredient -- and is it a flaw or fav?

lemon/lime zest and kosher salt. I seldom use regular salt, save for brining, but I can use sea salt for that.

The comments just to go show that there is no such thing as a single unifying tasting coffee. People want different categories of things... the only reason sbux made a splash in NYC with the CEO at the event was because his net worth was dropping fast.

Still gonna drink it occasionally and still have no idea what 'good' coffee is and do not care.

I am just glad they handed out those free coffee on wednesday cards. weeee!

Signature ingredient -- and is it a flaw or fav?

garlic salt and sofrito... a mixture of garlic, onions and peppers processed in the cuisinart.

The trinity: Onions, garlic and tomatoes.

I put jalapenos on a lot of things especially hamburgers. My favorite snack lately is roast beef, jalapenos and cream cheese on a potato roll. Is that ever good.
