hokay, first off, reading this reminds me of how much i love you people. jesus. mcdonalds french fries in vanilla milkshake. sounds like dinner to me! also, a 'recipe' from my youth: 6 chips ahoy choc chip cookies cold whole milk put cookies in mug, pour over lots of milk to cover, soak, then smoosh. eat chips first and then savor delicious, runny, grainy cookie/milk liquid with spoon. bonus points: chewy chips ahoy for a different taste sensation, more elastic, less grainy, with roof-of-mouth-coating waxy cookie flavor buildup. uhhhh (droool) other favorites: hot buttered garlic bread in progresso white clam sauce heated with chili flakes, sprinkle each piece of bread with cheese. anything meaty and seared dipped in that frozen boil-in-bag creamed spinach

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease give recipe?!

ooh how about my dad's Hammy Jammy Sandwish? Home made extragarlicky extraherby garlic bread (baguette) Virginia ham Provolone Strawberry jam toast till melty and devour in bed. SO GOOD

offtopically, my dad grills figs on the bbq with queso manchego. exxxxcellent.

I just found this thread, which has been dead for a while, it seems. I'm going to Boston this weekend and have reservations at 75 Chestnut. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Prego spaghetti and 'meat' sauce in the jar Festivus Sharwood's Indian Chutney Sauce (like HP sauce, but sweeter and more malty) The old Chips Ahoy chewy chocolate chip cookies that left an interesting scum on the roof of your mouth The old fashioned large rectangular pepperoni Pizza Pockets with the supersweet tomato sauce

Hello, I'm so jealous! I've been all over the world and the Mayan Riviera is my number one favorite beach destination. If you have a travel day planned, please try to explore the Yucatan coast of Mexico south of Cancun. About thity minutes down the coastal highway, there are some small beautiful towns like Playa Del Carmen (Shh, let's keep it that way!) where you can eat fresh seafood and walk through mayan ruins inhabited only by swarms of butterflies that are in the jungle right on the equally deserted beaches. Plus you can be back at your hotel in Cancun with little fuss and little driving or taxi time. We loved Moros Crab House in Playa del Carmen, for incredibly delicious food and desserts in a unique house, as well as Cafe Dennis on the main zocalo by the pier in Cozumel. Their seafood quesadillas were out of this world. So fresh and juicy, with white Mexican cheese and chilis. nb, Moros was closed for repairs the last time i was there in May.

you're welcome, JJ Goode- I think we need to get a Brooklyn tasting group going! Anyone interested? Is there one already I just don't know about?

Hey, I do't know why we aren't getting more Park Slope restaurants here, but I wanted to chip in with the very excellent Tex-Mexican food at Elora's on Prospect Park West and maybe 17th Street. Such an excellent shrimp enchilada. Especially with their home made spicy sauce. Also, take the F train to 7th Avenue in the Slope and check out the Minnow for seafood on 9th Street just off the corner of 7th Avenue. Every monday they have a three-course prix-fix dinner with wines for each course. Tasty and very reasonable. Also, the chef, Aaron Bashy I think is his name, is a very sweet person, and apparently a fine fisherman as well. The twlfth Street Cafe on 8th Ave is really, really delicious. One of the best crab cakes I've ever had. Hmm... I don't know if Cobble Grill is still open, but if it is, it's a great spot for burgers and sandwiches. They season their fries with frech chopped herbs and salt right out of the hopper- so good. C.G. is just off of Henry Street across from Met Foods, right about where Cobble Hill starts to turn into Carroll Gardens. They also make a fantastic roasted vegetable grilled cheese sandwich, with those herbed fries... Also, the duck club at Blue Ribbon Brooklyn, never mind the amazingly fresh sushi at their sister restaurant next door. Finally, has anyone ever had the lemon risotto at Al Di La?

hey, there's agreat review of that Trekkie cookbook on TelevisionWithoutPity.com. Check it out: Star Trek Cookbook

Trattoria Trecolori is my recommendation. It's homey and cozy and casual, but the food is very fresh and beautifully prepared. It's on 45h between 6th and B'way.

I grew up in Cliffside! Hmm. You could try Wild Ginger in Englewood (My favorite. A bit expensive, but very tasty Japanese/French) There's a cute little place called Vespa on River Road in Edgewater or Weehawken. There's Napa Grille (Yum! Unfortunately, it's at the Garden State Plaza Mall)

Oh God. Festivus was so good. SOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOD. I don't know why I decided to buy it, but I gained about six or seven pounds that winter.

Sorry, Tommy, but I think that alcoholic beverages we used to love but now hate is really a new thread. And to that, I say: vodka gimlets

Things are starting to come back to me: I was thinking that I really used to pass on all cauliflower preparations, but am now going through some kind of cauliflower phase. Roasted, pureed, soup, hmm. I never got the Fig Newton thing. My parents used to feed the halved fruits to me off the grill with white Colombian cheese. By contrast the cumbly biscuit and brown jelly filling seemed very bad indeed. Also, Vienna Sausages.
