Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks

Cowboy steak of any kind, prepared Alton Brown style in a sizzling cast iron pan that makes the fire department come round and bring oxygen masks to revive us from the smoke inhalation.

mmmmmmmmm..... mushroom soup. I have a bunch of mushroom bisque recipes but a couple worth mentioning are balthazar's and this mushroom and tarragon soup from the blue boar in utah: http://media.myfoxutah.com/recipes/mushtarr.htm
That one rules!!

Cruise Food

I concur that quantity is the feature over quality. You might be interested in checking out the message boards/forums at cruisecritics.com. There is a forum called "cruises and foodies".

Congrats on the cruise - you will love it!

Apple Picking in NY

Hi! I'm from the Central New York area and it's FABULOUS for leaf peeping and apple picking. My favorite place to pick is a bit touristy, but you get hayrides, cider, etc - it's great. The name is Beak & Skiff Apple Farms. Check their website for the picking schedule (beakandskiff.com). You'd also be convenient to the Finger Lakes and you could do apples one day, wine tasting the next!

Walking into the Grocery..wanting a cheap bottle of wine...

I'm a Chardonnay drinker and like bigger Cali-style wines. Bogle, Beringer Founders Estate, Stirling, Toasted Head - they all fit the bill!

Where's everybody from?

My name says it all - I'm from Syracuse but moved to central Vermont two years ago. Shaws, Price Chopper, Hannafords, the farmer's market, the co-op, and a gourmet foods store owned and run by Sandra Bullock's younger sister, who is a master pastry chef. I miss having lots of ethnic food stores around.

What seemingly basic ingredient can you simply not bear?

Pickles. I find them so detestable that if a restaurant puts a pickle on a plate, it means, drat I forgot to tell them not to, and it also means I can't eat any of the chips/fries/parts of the bun that were near the pickle, and got contaminated.

Also peas - I pick them out of the buffet fried rice at Wegmans.

Mayo or any type of cold mayo-based salad like noodle salad, egg salad, potato salad.

I'm a supertaster, so these foods aren't just unpleasant - they give me the dry heaves. Fun fun!

I would have to say that Porterhouse of T-bone are my all-time favorites. They are the best for grilling or broiling and if cooked a perfect medium rare, are unsurpassed in flavor!
