My Brocoli Rabe was bitter

YEAH, THAT IS THE TASTE, DELICIOUSLY BITTER! It is an aquired taste, I grew up eating it so I love it, but it did take my husband some getting used to ( he loves it now though).

i know what you mean about the verbal tip...we call that the LIP TIP. I will never understand, I have a guy just picking up a take-out order who tipped me 10 bucks but I had a duece with a bill around 90 bucks for lunch and I got a smile and a lip tip! arrrgh!

Outdated food attitudes

My father in law is famous for salting everything before he eats it, I just forgot to put out the salt last time he came for dinner, when he asked where the salt was ( before his plate was even in front of him) I advised him that I had already seasoned the food, and if he still needed some I would get it for him...He got the hint and the cycle is broken :)

whoopie pies are a must, chicken pot pie (not in a crust, more like chicken and noodles) and stop at any chicken bbq stand on the side of the road, usually rt 30 is full of them, not really bbq, more just pit chicken, but sooo good. The central market is also a must!!

Who has the BEST cooking show on TV and why?

I am a fan of Nigella, even if she does make cooking look like porn. And i think I would leave my fiance for Tyler! Alton brown is singlehandedly responsible for making me the new "Queen of Gravy" in my family, the man is a genius but I fast forward thru a lot of the scientific parts, cooking in my house is a little less science and a little more whatever I have in the fridge tonight. Emeril turns me off, he wipes his nose WAY to much-gross.
