Tired of the chest cold and looking for Souper ideas. Yours?
I made cilantro chicken soup tonight (included onions, corn, salsa, a bit of sour cream, garlic and s&p to chicken broth and topped with crushed tortillas chips).
It's no secret that I am a huge fan of kimchi. If you like spicy, I highly recommend you make kimchi chigae (soup). It's delicious and full of garlic and spice and really cleans out the sinuses.

Based on Turkey Hill Ice Cream, the Phillies Should Win
Isn't the Mets' flavor called "Sour Apple"? Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm almost ashamed of myself for posting it.

What's a good word to replace "garlicky"?
I guess I'm one that just doesn't mind "garlicky" or as JerzeeTomato suggests "full of garlic" .

Polka-dot food ideas
You could fill a truffle bowl with rounded scoops of different types of melon. Sliced olives and some kind of spread on round crackers, stuffed mushroom caps, Dippin' Dots in lieu of regular ice cream, and cupcakes sprinkled with dots.
Cakespy: Leftover Halloween Candy Pie
It's something the kids would like anyway. I think I'll make a graham cracker pie shell and mix my leftover candies with ice cream for an ice cream pie. Thanks for the creativity kick start.
What strange things are in the door of your fridge?
A gel eye mask, bacon drippings and kimchi.

Persimmons...
They are really great to snack on when dehydrated as well.
Pizza: A cure for the blues?
For me, I think it's because it's essentially a baked bread and baked bread is always awesome to lift spirits.
Your Clever SE Name
Food and the cinema have always been tops for me. While I liked sports, I wasn't ever really huge into it, but I married a guy who was. He said "better watch out or I'll make a Yankees gal outta you yet." And he did.
Edible Gifts for the Holidays
"they're" still warm. I really need to edit before I post!
Edible Gifts for the Holidays
I make all sorts of herb vinegars and put them in pretty bottles or sterilized wine bottles with new corks. It's an unusual gift that people enjoy. I also bake rustic breads and try to deliver them when their still warm.

Fiori di Zucca Fritte!
deep fried foods
Where to start . . . onions are considered vegetables right? Therefore, I will say breaded onion rings, french fries, sweet potato fries and I LOVE breaded mushrooms and zucchini. Battered, breaded or straight up frying, it's all delicious!
What do turnips go with?
Thank you for posting this question! I too have never tried either one and always wondered what they tasted like and how to go about cooking them.
The best hot sauce
I'm a Tabasco lover too. My favorite is the Chipotle Tabasco. Wooeee! Delish!
Rice Cooker's on my Wish List
I would highly recommend you find an Asian market. If they don't sell them, they probably know someone who does. I really prefer them to the couple of American ones I've used. After it cooks it stays on warm. I've kept it on all day before and the rice was great. The very bottom can get a little crispy, but that's actually what some people like. The bowl is non-stick and everything washes up easily.
A bit too many Asian-themed articles on this site?
JerzeeTomato is right. If you want to see more diversity in Talk, then be the change Daniel!
What Did You Eat Today?
I just had toast for breakfast, but a co-worker gave me a huge gourmet caramel apple before noon. I made the mistake of slicing off a taste and then I couldn't quit nibbling on it all day! It was a pitiful site. I ate the whole damn thing. I believe the family opted for cold cereal and canned soup for dinner. I'm not sure, as I couldn't bring myself to the table.
The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich
We would have fried eggs with semi-set yolks, salt and pepper, Miracle Whip and occasionally bacon and lettuce on white bread. My bread preference has changed, but I don't think I'll ever give up my love of Miracle Whip!
Does anyone else get totally bummed ...
It happens too often lately and I'm getting damn tired of it.
Taste Test: Cheap But Good Olive Oils
Maybe they'll taste better if you infuse them with herbs. Make rosemary oil or garlic oil and use for salads or bottle them up and give them away.
What's a good word to replace "garlicky"?
@tusti, Stinky works for me. While I love garlic, and use it generously in my cooking, I had one amazing interview with a potential contract hire some years ago. He reeked so of garlic -- like pouring out the pores -- and we were in a small room. It was all I could do to keep the interview to a respectable minimal time. Gack.
Those job pimps send every and anyone out. Words to the wise, in these job short times....brush your teeth, and be careful what you eat!

Kielke and farmer sausage with "gravy" (aka cream sauce with onions). Oh thank goodness for Mennonite roots. If only I worked like a farmer to work it off.

My family would be happy if I'd make them chicken and dumplings at least once a week. (And it's so easy!)

My family did roast chicken dinners every Sunday when I was growing up. Can't beat grandma's cooking!

Spaghetti with meatballs and chunks of Italian sausage in a smooth garlicky red sauce, caesar salad with homemade garlic croutons, warm crusty Italian bread with butter, a nice barolo, and lemon cheesecake for dessert.

fajitas, hands down.

Layer sauerkraut in a casserole dish, place pork chops on top and season (I use cracked black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika), cover with lid or seal with foil, bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. I like to make mashed potatoes with it, but have also just done steamed veggies on the side.

Coming from a Turkish household, my favorite family dinner is mercimek çorbasi (lentil soup) with köfte (ground beef/meatball-like patties), domatesli pilav (tomato rice), and yogurt.
Pizza: A cure for the blues?
pizza - one of the best foods in the whole world... straight cheese pizza with a great doughy crust always does it for me.

Favorite family dinner would have to be my childhood birthday meal of Earl Abel's fried chicken and black bottom pie.

We called it "chicken and glop", but it was chicken and rice. How did my mother put up with us?
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
It depends on the weather for me, but at this time of year it's roast chicken, mashed potatoes, peas (homegrown, please; frozen peas from the store are inevitably overripe), green salad, and pie.
