Autumn Dishes
Afternoon Hounds - to ring the new season, what fall favorites are you looking forward to making this season?
Thanks!
Lunch counter and Coffee Shop foods
Nice topic & one dear to my heart. As a kid - loved wolworth's lunch counter - patty melt! Unfortunately, seems this country is loosing its lunch counters, diners, coffee shops and being overrun with starbucks & subways. Sad really.
Can I bake a ham that isn't smothered in sugar and fruit?
That sounds wonderful - any chance on getting more info?
Scent: Oven dinners. Question for you: What has the all time best cooking aroma in your house?
Hands down - Roasted Garlic!

Wow - Great post - very informative - I've been dying to grind my own meat - where / what type of grinder to you suggest?

Fish on the Grill
Very good point - hopefully can get a nice piece of tuna this time of year.
Fish on the Grill
Afternoon all - Getting ready for a weeks vaca on the Jersey Shore. I want to "wow" family and friends with a nice piece of fish on the grill - any sugestions / recipes?
Thanks!
Peanut Butter -- how do you eat it (and on what kinds of different foods)?
Once a week treat, usually Friday - spread thin on a pumpernickle bagel - usually un-toasted.
Salmon
Thank you both for your excellent advice. I have a feeling I've been eating farm for quite a while. I'm excited to get some good wild today. Appreciate your help
Salmon
I want to make Broiled Salmon for dinner this evening. I know most Atlantic Salmon is farmed and most Pacific is wild. Is there a clear taste difference?
I am willing to pay a bit extra - which do you prefer?
Thanks - Have a great weekend!
Bacholrette
Morning All - I'm helping my wife plan our good friend's bacholorette party. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. We're not looking for the usual suspects. Looking for a moderately priced, good food (nothing too adventurous), good for a group of 15-20 ladies in their early to mid 30's. Neighborhood is unimportant. Afterwards, a cool wine bar / lounge is the intended target.
Thanks!
favorite guilty snack food
Emerald chipolte roasted peanuts - The BBQ flavor is good too.

Family BBQ
Here's my delimma - Hosting my first BBQ (new homeowner!) what is best route to go for burgers?
Frozen patties; Though, not really my cup of tea, easy for the kiddies, right?
Buy bulk ground beef and form 25 or so patties?
Thoughts, opinions, tricks?
Thanks!
London Broil
So, I had a beautiful London Broil from Stew Leonards - I seasoned it with Penzy's Chicago seasoning and put it on a hot oiled grill. 4 minutes per side. Let it rest 1-15 minutes.
My problem was it was a bit tough.
The only thing I can think of is that I should brought the meat to room temp before grilling?
Any ideas?
CIA
Was wondering if anybody has taken a class at the Culinary Institute of America. Was thinking of taking a one day course in NYC and wanted to get some so opinions before spending 300 bucks!
Peanut Butter
My love for PB has returned as an adult - my new favorite breakfast - PB on a whole wheat OR pumpernickle bagel with a really good cup of coffee! Mmmmm
Grilled lamb: your favorite cut/prep?
I like to do loin chops, coat with olive oil, minched garlic, fresh pepper, and sea salt. Cooked rare - mmmmm
