I think I may have another winner: risotto.

I hate cold BBQ'd foods!

Even at 2 in the morning, standing in front of the open fridge?

HWOE swears that the smell wafting out of a freshly-opened bottle of beer (such as Red Hook ESB) is one of the finest, most fleeting aromas in the world. I'm just afraid that someday he's going to get the neck of the bottle stuck in his nose.

Almost any bread tasted best directly from the oven.

No! no! no! You must let bread cool and set up the structure before slicing or eating. There is a magic period where its at its best. This is especially so for bread made from soft flours, like french baguettes, which is why they bake several times a day.

Omlettes (or have we had them already?)

I agree with jackal10 concerning letting (certain) breads rest, especially baguettes. I think that there's actually a French law about this.

Also, the moisture escapes like the juice from steak or roasts. Resting period is essential.

I thinks it's the smell of bread straight from the oven that people enjoy, so they dive into it too soon.YES YES YES rest the bread.

Coffee.

Are you insane? You have to let it rest, dude!

Coffee.

Good call. Coffee must be hot and fresh. It's disgusting at room temperature and cannot be reheated. My husband will drink coffee that's been sitting around for hours. Bleah.
