My fondest childhood memory was cooking my first meal so I didn't have to eat my mom's "specials" anymore! 0=:^)

The Secret to Perfectly Poached Eggs
Love the 10 minute approach for Eggs Benedict! No more cold poached eggs or reheating. Yay!

@loosyjean - I don't know what they do in your family, but over here... YELLING AT PEOPLE IS CONSIDERED BAD FORM!!!
The Secret to Perfectly Poached Eggs
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS UNIQUE TO MY FAMILY OR WHAT. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYBODY MENTION THIS, BUT THE BEST WAY TO FINISH OFF YOUR POACHED EGG ON TOAST, IS TO POUR SOME WARM MILK OVER TOP AND THEN ADD SALT & PEPPER. ABSOLUTE HEAVEN!!!
The Secret to Perfectly Poached Eggs
I discovered a tip that changed forever my life of egg-poacher: crack the (extra fresh) egg into a metal ladle and dunk everything into boiling water with a splash of vinegar in it. The genius is by epicurious and you can see their enlightening video in my post here:

The Secret to Perfectly Poached Eggs
I like to crack the eggs in small individual bowls and gently place them in the simmering liquid. To make poached green eggs; poach the eggs in green tea. Check out the recipe: teaspotchef.blogspot.com

All the tips sound right to me. I am of the "cover" school, so I guess I like a bit of white over the yolk on mine, which is what happens when I use the cover. I prep like most--vinegar, vortex, drop, 2 minutes, cover, off heat, run toaster. Mine takes about 3 minutes. I check the eggs to make sure they are not getting hard after about 2 minutes. Salt, pepper, EAT!

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 mom's spaghetti and meatballs. The home made sauce was so good!

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.

Grilled steak cooked over real wood fire in the living room fireplace. Never tasted anything else that was quite the same.
