Dinner & Dessert
The Most Unhealthy Thing You've Ever Made
You know that "Eclair Dessert" that's made with graham crackers and pudding layers and topping with frosting? What if you went all "Paula Deen" on it, and changed the graham crackers to brown sugar pop tarts. Mmm....I can feel gaining weight just thinking about it.

Favorite foods eaten at the 'wrong' temperatures?
frozen grapes are great. so are frozen candy bars like a 3 muskateers. i also put quartered apples in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes before eating them. I've also done really mixed combo of milk fully incorporated into kashi or raisin bran crunch cereal with lots of cinnamon frozen solid and then letting it cool just enough to eat with a spoon again.
Sam Sifton as New York Times' New Restaurant Critic; Serious Eaters Should Be Thrilled
ok. no argument that he's a great replacement. But seriously those other three not so little words? I think that stating this makes him the most important IN THE WORLD?!?! is a bit over the top. Is this just because its New York that he's in?

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.

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.

My favorite family dinner would have to be posole. We have it every christmas eve with fresh tamales and it is sooo good.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Gosh, my favorite family dinner!? That's hard . My family is full of great cooks so I guess it has more to do with the atmosphere. So then I would have to go with Christmas eve dinner. 14 cousins plus 16 Aunts and Uncles all eating and drinking and being merry. Usually there's a goose (which doesn't hurt) and floating islands for desert. super yummm, it warms my heart just to think about it.

One of my favorite family meals is banh xeo. They're savory, yellow crepes and having all sorts of people in my family through marriage, some being born in Vietnam, some being born here, etc., my mom gets a lot of different requests as to what to put in them. First she makes the vegetarian kind for those folks then regular Americanized ones then the hardcore ones.
