Better yet, can I have it??? It's my favorite pie!

I really enjoyed your food/travel blog. You have an interesting sense of humor. Please write some more!

What ideas ran through your minds? This might be fun, let's see how we would please anthony's palate.
I always think of what I would cook, even though I know I would never hold my own in something like this.
If I was doing this, I'd take some of my Thanksgiving guilty pleasures from childhood and played with them. Like somehow take turkey skin and fry it into a cone. Stuff it with a cornbread oyster dressing and a dollop of fresh cranberry sauce on top (or if I ever knew how to make that fake caviar from El Bulli--do that with cranberries). Serve it like a sushi hand roll/ice cream cone.
Man, I wonder what that would taste like.
Sorry, I forgot the quotes. I'm available for tasting!

Do you need a taster? I'm game! Sounds delish...

I know they edit these shows to come out a certain way, but I am so glad Emily got the boot. Her snide comment (something along the lines of "you with your 4 teeth and fat ass" about the woman who said her ice cream was too sweet really pissed me off.
THANK YOU!! I thought that was particulary mean spirited too.

Last season, Tiffany, Harold and Louanne (?) appealed to me immediately. Harold seemed polished and honest as a judge and is easy on the eyes as well.

this has nothing to do with food, but did anyone notice the large scar on padma's right arm? I am wondering where that came from
In the Bravo bio there a mention of Padma having been in a car accident.

What I cannot stand is a dessert consisting of a hot thing and a frozen thing on the same plate. This causes the frozen thing to melt too soon. This makes me angry.

Rightly so! And what's up with giving me a fork when I have pie ala mode? You can't eat ice cream with a fork!
-
When I eat dinner, I take a bit from each food and eat it in a certain order, so as not to run out of one food before I run out of the other.
EXACTLY!!!
All the food groups run out at the same time! Otherwise you have to dib and dab to make it even! Finally people that understand! -
Susan, I am so glad I am not alone!!
This was starting to turn into Kristin is a freak thread. I never really thought of this as very odd. I have this other food thing that is 100 times worse but Steven has suggested I never speak of it in public aymore....
Torakris,
Do you eat in sequence too? I have to eat in food sequence. For instance a standard turkey dinner - a bite of turkey, a smidge of mashed potatoes, a bit of cranberry, topped off by a nugget of stuffing. Repeat until all the food is gone.
Oh my God! Isn't that how everyone eats???
Is there a different way?
I've know people to eat all the meat first, starch second, and vegetable third, or any such combination. I really don't like to actually look upon this type of eating since I makes me shudder. A friend of mine used to finish the meal by eating all the coleslaw. Makes me swoon just thinking about it.

I'll be uploading more soon.
Very nice!! Thanx for the pix.

If you want to achieve all 50, you'd better have a lot of money. This list has more to do with travelling than with loving and enjoying food. Show offs. (Not you guys, the original writers.)
I agree, and in fact, it's lists like these that make people think that all "foodies" are rich snobs, which is not the case at all.
I'm with you guys too! Can't one appreciate good food and not be a millionaire? Is this another means used to separate and segregate people? Sheesh, we need to ban together in good food, not build walls of food segregation!!
-
It's that rhetorical drive to assert something is "the best" that's at work here. I don't quite know how it works, but why do we need to say that some kind of food or a particular dish is "the best" at all? It's unprovable, of course.
I've thought that for years, especially with something as subjective as food where everyone has their own personal standard

I've noticed the women here all crave salt. Could it be that the painful cramps that women endure are caused by low sodium content in their blood?

I've made brownies with peanut butter frosting. Yummmmmmmmmm!

Butter, milk or cream, brown or white sugar. Raisins if available.

I've heard of, and partaken in Disco Fries. I live in centeral Jersey, too. They are fries covered in gravy, loaded with cheese. I've seen them all sorts of ways, though, with mozzarella, but more often with some kind of yellow cheese, like cheddar, or in really cheap places, yellow American, or the worst, gobs of cheese sauce. (I like cheese sauce as much as anyone, but cheap crappy diners stock cheap crappy cheese sauce...)
I see the occasional reference to poutine, and I think to myself "Northern Disco Fries" so, it's a small world. ^.^
My most favorite version, when I was younger, and able to eat this stuff, was from the old Shamrock Diner, they used mozzarella cheese, a gravy laced with a hint of cinnamon (the chef was Greek, everything had cinnamon or nutmeg in it) over those spicy curly fries. Good stuff.
Gee, I'm from Jersey too (the shore) and I've never heard of them. I don't really like gravy on anything, but the cheese sounds pretty good!
-
Hell, I'd eat it, but then again I'm a sucker for a dessert. How about if you keep the cakes intact until you reach your destination and then make a trifle? Layer the cake with alternate layers of whipped cream and maybe some almonds in the nice clear bowl to show off the pretty colors.

And don't drown it in soy and wasabi, you're trying to figure out if you like the fish!

I usually sear my pork chops in a really hot frying pan for a minute or so, until they are browned. Once browned take them out of the pan and reduce the heat. Stir in some liquid (I've used beer and/or apple, juice) but use whatever you like. Deglaze the pan's stirring up the browned bits into the juice. Turn the heat back up and reduce by at least half. Put the browned chops back in the liquid, reducing the heat again. Let them simmer for about 5-10 or until tender. It makes a silky smooth sauce that looks like gravy, but without the gravy mouth feel.

(I was behind a woman who ordered a taco without a shell, then told the lady she didn't want lettuce or cheeze. I said, 'honey, you don't want a taco.' Sometimes, people are just a little too special.
What's left? Ground beef and some sour cream?

I like to use a knife and fork for most things only because I don't like sticky finger and I'm nowhere near pretentious or pompous. Maybe a little nerdy...
I do corn on the cob with fingers tho...
Sorry Iris, no dis intended, but at a picnic, in a park with decent facilities handy, when you're wearing shorts and a tee shirt? Pompous! (thanks for the spell check, though!) Hamburgers (unless their really thick and runny), hot dogs, corn-on-the-cob. I'll do with the hands. I really don't like to eat ribs with my fingers because I hate sauce under my nails. At a picnic in the park with my family we know to bring plenty of knives and forks because I'm not the only neatnik!
